Reading Time: 10 minutes I have spent a large proportion of my life navigating a poor relationship with food. What does that mean?

Glenn’s Chocolate, Coconut and Chia Seed Protein Balls

Why I love coffee and why I am reducing my intake
Reading Time: 7 minutes Coffee. That magical, dark liquid potion. That ambrosia of the slightly hyperactive gods. I bloody love it. I mean, if I had to choose between giving up one of my children or giving up coffee, there would likely be an inappropriately long pause. I have two children. There is only one coffee.

Super Simple Protein Chia Seed Pudding Recipe
Reading Time: 6 minutes We ate some shite in the 80s. This was a time of experimental ‘space’ food. A whole fried breakfast in a foil wrapper. It was the age of convenience. Powdered everything. Burgers in onion gravy, in a tin. The golden age of squeezy cheese. This was the period of exotic food exploration, whereby the extravagantContinue reading “Super Simple Protein Chia Seed Pudding Recipe”
