Poems
I’ve been getting my creative head on and writing poems! Not sure how it started but some words just seemed to come to me in the early hours of the morning so I jot them down and they seem to form themselves. Hilarious, let me know what you think 🙂 If you’re feeling kinda crap…

Pitt Style Beans and Greens
This is a go to recipe for me, it’s quick and easy and I’ve always got the ingredients, or alternatives, in the cupboard. I tend to use twice the amount of tomatoes and beans i.e. a large can of each so there’s enough for the next day, often adding prawns, white fish or Quorn pieces…

In my recent blog about Apple Cider Vinegar (HERE) I said that the reason us well being types like ACV is because of it’s potassium content, and I thought, maybe I should explain a little about that because it’s really simple and could make a huge difference as to why you feel tired and crap…
