Basque-style chicken stew

July 29, 2011

This is my new absolute fave. I made it last weekend and had some of the leftovers last night and it tasted even better!! Perfect for the whole family or to make and freeze in single serves. The chilli is optional but without the seeds, you really don’t taste it. Serves 4 100ml olive oil [...]

Apologies

July 29, 2011

Smoked salmon and salad wrap

July 22, 2011

This is one of my favourite items in Michelle Bridges programme and it’s a real example that “diet” food is far from boring. I’ve had it a couple of times for lunch this week. The mustard gives it some zing, you’ll be getting protein and omega-3 from the salmon and good fats from the salmon [...]

ROSIE – Hot weather hassle

July 20, 2011

I don’t know about you but I HATE exercising when it’s really boiling hot as it can get in the day here. Even now, I look out of the window and it’s grey and cloudy but it’s also really warm and heavy and I know if I went out for a run now I would [...]

July 16, 2011

If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you’ll know that I’ve been struggling recently, not motivated to exercise and eating all the wrong stuff. I’ve decided to do Michelle Bridges “Losing the last 5 Kilos” (or “EMERGENCY – I may soon put on 5 Kilos if I don’t do something soon”). It’s a 4 [...]

ROSIE – Holiday Success… at last!!!

July 15, 2011

I am 32 years old (nearly). I have been on at least one holiday per year since I was 18 – sometimes two, yes, I know, what a spoilt girl. That equals at least 14, perhaps 20 holidays in my lifetime. Without exception (oh yes, except when I got Delhi belly in Sri Lanka) I [...]

Zar – REALLY sorry!!

July 12, 2011

I really must apologise for my blogs at the moment. It’s very much about me and this week, I feel very uninspired. It’s all very morose and I’m feeling your pain. What I’m finding, of course, is as I feel less and less good about myself and my body, about my lack of willpower and [...]

Zar – Recipe – Crumbed lamb cutlets with roasted Greek-salad vegetables

July 8, 2011

A customer of mine gave me the heads up about this recipe in this month’s ABC Delicious. She cooked it over the weekend and said that the platter was licked clean!! Don’t worry about the fact there are quite a lot of ingredients, it’s not a difficult dish. Serves 4 1 red onion, cut into [...]

Zar – I HATE THIS!!

July 6, 2011

This is my worst type of blog to write but here at the Bingham Girls we promise to be honest, so here goes. There are 2 reasons I hate this type of blog particularly – firstly, I’ve written similar ones 3 or 4 times previously. Secondly, it means showing that I’m not perfect, I’m weak [...]
