Glass of ginger, lime chia fresca

About a week ago I decided to cut out coffee for a few weeks, I don’t think there is anything wrong with coffee as long as you tolerate it but I felt like I was relying on it a bit too much and wanted to give my body a break. So I’ve been trying some alternatives to coffee in the morning, like Chai, Rooibos, Earl Grey other herbal tea varieties and things like warm water with ACV or lemon juice and a little honey to sweeten.

I recently came across a drink called ‘Chia Fresca’ and while I had head of people adding chia seeds to water and drinking it, I didn’t realise this drink had an actual name. Turns out that this drink hails from Mexico! When I saw this post I knew I wanted to try it out for myself so I came up with this quick and easy to make ‘Ginger Lime Chia Fresca’. This drink is nice and refreshing and a great pick me up in the morning! [Read more…]

Spiced Butternut Squash Fries

First off I hope everyone had a good Easter! Ours wasn’t very eventful, we didn’t really do anything special for it… Joe had a long weekend though so we spent Saturday & Sunday just lazing about the house and going for our usual walk, except that the weather was a bit better this weekend and the sun was actually shining! We did our walks through two different parks (one on Saturday and one on Sunday) and I loved it! The parks here are beautiful and I felt like staying there the whole day! Seriously considering buying a picnic blanket and walking over there with my book and spending a day there reading… only if it weren’t still so cold!

On Monday I had this brilliant idea for us to go on a day trip to the Cotswolds. For those of you who don’t know the Cotswolds are… actually I’ll just let good old Wikipedia to explain it to you 😉

Anyway so I convinced Joe to go to part of the Cotswolds region and for us to do a walk over there. Little did I know what I was getting us in to! So we arrived at our starting point, in a village called Broadway and the walk would take us to Broadway Tower which is the second highest point of the Cotswolds. [Read more…]
