Dreaming of: Breakfasts in the park

Today is the kind of weather that makes it absolutely criminal to sit inside, especially in a room with no windows. So therefore, I have my Bohemian 'birdie' to keep me company.

It's a day for a healthy, leisurely breakfast but in the absence of that most key ingredient, time, French toast in my favourite nook at home will have to do.

Here's looking forward to days where relaxed breakfasts in the park are possible - here's looking forward to weekends!

Feel full, not foolish

New Year resolutions are aplenty. And some I know I will forget.

But the most important one this year is to eat healthy. And by healthy I mean a completely balanced diet - a diet of inclusion and not exclusion. A plate should be made of the rainbow and be consumed intelligently. Food is meant to be thoroughly enjoyed, bite by bite and in moderate quantity. The body should be able to process everything that is put into it - not just the 'healthy' stuff.

As somebody said, "eat just enough that you feel full and not foolish". Maybe that 'somebody' is just me.

Happy and colourful 2016 everyone!
