Perfectly Imperfect Strawberries

I love how recently supermarkets have been promoting the sale of Imperfect fruit and vegetables and its about time too. In the past growers would disregard upto 40% of their crop because it didnt meet the aesthetic requirements of the supermarkets buying them, that it was too small or two big, wonky or deformed so…

Slimming Worlds Meatballs

Meatballs are a popular dish in our house that everyone actually eats, a rare occurrence in our house but unfortunately restarting on Slimming World I have avoided eating them as they are just too synful.

Speed Foods
