A delicious frozen summer treat made with fresh blueberries and double cream ice cream dipped in white chocolate and finished off with Midnight Magic Sprinkles. You know when you buy a punnet of blueberries, and your fruit-mad children eat nearly all of them as fast as they can, but for some reason, they leave just …
An indulgent Oreo freakshake recipe in collaboration with Oreo. All work and no play makes Elizabeth rather grumpy. I try my best to eat a healthy diet and to keep active, but do you know what? Sometimes, a little indulgent treat just has to be done. The 80:20 rule, right? 80% of the time I …
In collaboration with Nutri-Brex 5 Ways Gluten-Free Granola. Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’re all having a fantastic day and have some rather grand adventures planned for the weekend. Me, I have my tank built conditioning camp on a Saturday morning, so Friday is my day where I allow myself a little indulgent treat, after all, …
A 3 layer ice cream cake with an Oreo cookie base. When I was a little girl growing up in rural East Coast Canada (a tiny village on Cape Breton Island, to be slightly more specific) we lived a 45-minute drive away from the nearest supermarket. This meant that we did our big shopping trip …
For when you’ve got those chocolate cravings and don’t want to break the healthy eating plan! I’m not on a diet. I don’t even like the word diet. It implies that you are denying yourself something, a restriction of enjoyment, a temporary solution to a problem. Fad diets aren’t sustainable, and they’re not a healthy …

Perfect for those hot summer mornings! These popsicles came about by accident, really. Not being one to refuse a reduced price bargain I found myself with a few punnets of blackberries in my shopping basket – best before that date. They were needing used up. I sat there eating my lunch pondering what I could …
Summery, refreshing and slightly shilpet. My children absolutely love lemons. Serve some lemon wedges at mealtime with some salmon or with pancakes and you’ll find my younger two children sucking the juice out of the wedges with positive glee. They’ll nibble away at every bit of the fruit so that there is only a bare …

Icy cold peppermint candy cane flavoured milkshake – Santa’s favourite! Sometimes an idea just strikes. You’re sitting there, minding your own business and then wham! Discworld author Terry Pratchett reckoned that ideas are hurtling through space and time in little self contained units until bam, they hit a sentient being. Sometimes this being is a …
A vegan, all natural, refined sugar free frozen dessert. My ice cream machine died last year. It was a gruesome, horrible death with a cracked bowl and bright blue coolant oozing all over the contents of my freezer. This was the second time this happened (same model) and I haven’t replaced it yet. I’ve had …
My electric ice cream machine died last year. It was a gruesome death, with it’s bright blue coolant slowly leaking out all over the contents of my deep freeze. This was the second time this ice cream maker death occurred in my freezer. The first time it happened the company replaced the bowl free of …
My three children are big fans of the Fab Ice Lolly; layers of strawberry and vanilla ice coated in chocolate and sprinkles. I’m not even sure I’ve ever tried the shop bought version myself, having never been introduced to them until I moved to the UK, but apparently they are Britain’s favourite ice lolly!
I spent a most wonderful child-free weekend in town. I don’t go into town very often, let alone for an overnight trip, but this weekend past I made an exception.
There’s nothing better than an ice cold ice lolly on a hot summer’s day, wouldn’t you agree? But have you had a look at the ingredients lists on commercially prepared lollies? Sugar, refined sugar, and more sugar!
“With each mouthful there is a definite taste of Shetland sea air, it is like tasting the wonderful cleanliness of the Shetland coastline as it reaches the lungs. Amazing!!” Jane, taste-tester I have to admit it, yes, this is one of my more unusual creations. I feel the need to say I am not in …
