Everdine: Clean Eating Made Simple
What do you do when time is short, but you still want to eat well? It can be tempting to reach for the take away menu when in a rush, but you soon start to feel quite unhealthy, as well as racking up a large bill!
With a new baby in the house, I’ve been looking for a solution to this and over the past couple of weeks we’ve been trying out some meals from Everdine. Everdine are a clean eating delivery service, which you can subscribe to online, and they’ll bring a selection of frozen healthy meals which you just warm up at home.
First, you pick the specific meals that you want from their selection – including a good choice of vegetarian and meat based meals – and choose when you want your delivery, and how frequently you would like food to be delivered, and then just wait for the meals to arrive.
The meals arrive via courier service (ours was DPD) in an ice packed box so they’re ready to be transferred straight to your freezer, and can be cooked from Frozen. Each one has the instructions clearly on the front, along with the time it will take to cook.
Simple and Easy Pasta Recipes that Kids will Love
Pasta has to be one of the best quick and easy weekday meals to put together for the family on busy evenings. There are so many varieties and twists you can try out to add variety, and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser in our house!
We’ve been working with Barilla, Italy’s biggest pasta brand, to celebrate quick, fun pasta recipes. Barilla have a great range of all kinds of pastas and sauces, which are all really tasty and so handy to have in your kitchen stock cupboard.
Making a Practical Food Hamper for a New Mum, with #CiaoGusto
With a new baby in the house, or on the way, practical gifts are definitely just as appreciated as the cute gifts – if not more so! Ciao Gusto challenged me to choose some items from their Ocado shop to make up a hamper gift. They have a wide range that could be used to make a foodie gift hamper for a wine lover, a cheese lover, a pasta fanatic, or a gift to remind someone of a special Italian holiday you’ve enjoyed together, but I decided to put together a practical hamper selection for a new mum, since that’s really handy for us right now!
I’ve often sent grocery orders to friends with new babies, or who are going through a tough time, and it’s always really appreciated especially if you include a few treats alongside things that are really easy to prepare to save them time, and save the hassle of having to think too much about “What shall I cook today?”
Ciao Gusto had a great range to combine both the treat and the convenience elements, providing some great options for a hamper like this.
Christmas Menu at Beefeater
Beefeater is always a good option for a family friendly meal with traditional food that suits all the generations. We were invited along recently to try out this year’s Christmas menu, at our local Uxbridge Beefeater which is newly opened with a really spacious clean and modern look.
The restaurant is nicely decorated for Christmas and I really liked how they even decorate the tables with Christmas crackers so that you can get into the festive spirit during your meal, with party hats and christmas cracker jokes!

Throwing a party? Having difficulties coming with a snack menu for your guests? Understandable, all of us had problems when it was needed the most to come up with something cheap, easy, healthy and refined.
«Lets order a pizza!»
Typical solution students tend to have when a party is planned. Ordering a pizza is easy and convenient. And pizza along with fast food can be undoubtedly tasty. However, you need to consider the health benefit you get from it, or lack thereof, rather. Prolonged snacking on fast food tends to affect your health, body, and soul negatively. You don’t want those love handles on your sides, don’t you?
On top of that, it could also end up being costly, not nutritional enough and simply will prove to your friends that you’re not a great host.
In this article, I’ll be providing some kitchen room ideas and laying down a few snack recipes even the laziest host can prepare in a presentable manner.
How to Keep Your Family Healthy with Takeout
When you just don’t have the time to cook up a healthy balanced meal for your young ones, it can be quite tempting to order from the nearest takeaway chain and call it a night. While there is no shame in having someone else cook for you and the family, it’s important to keep their health in mind. Fried vegetable dumplings and shrimp lo mein are always delicious choices and favourites of the kids, it can be rather simple to form a habit of ordering “just the usual”. So, instead here are a few tips to encourage your family to stay healthy and keep their bellies happy:
