How have you enjoyed your pancakes this pancake day? As it fell within half term this year, especially with the kids at home during lockdown this year, it is a great excuse to make a fun themed day for the kids and add some variety into our week by celebrating Pancake day.

Pancakes are one of the easiest recipes to make with kids, needing only a few basic ingredients that you likely already have in the kitchen cupboards. That doesn’t mean that you can’t mix it up and make some really cool and unique pancake designs to surprise the kids.

If you’re looking for a really unique and colourful way to enjoy your pancakes, what about making some of these rainbow coloured unicorn inspired pancakes. They are sure to be a hit with the whole family, especially if your children love unicorns like my little girl does (and let’s face it.. so do I)

In times of lockdown it is not easy to talk about fun things to do, right? But it doesn’t hurt to have a few ideas that we can all try when life goes back to normal again. As we all know the hospitality businesses are currently closed for 4 weeks due to a second wave of Covid-19. But lets keep our spirits up during this turbulent phase and have in mind that very soon restaurants, hotels, pubs, and bars will be open and we will all be able to socialise and enjoy our guilty little pleasures again. In this article we will be talking about one of the most, if not THE most traditional things in British culture….a nice cup of tea.

With your full days worth of food delivered each evening, ready for the following day, it means that you are always prepared with a healthy and balanced meal when you need it.

We tried three days worth of meals on the Halal balanced plan, and overall I was very impressed with the service. The convenience of using Love Yourself is brilliant, as you don’t need to think at all about your food for the day – since every thing is already set out for you including snacks.
