A few weeks ago I watched Simon Rimmer cook Roasted Hispi with Ham and Anchovy. Now I’m no fan of anchovies, but I realised that apart from his advice to serve with Bread the recipe was perfect for high protein low carb diet meal. Find Simon Rimmers Roasted Hispi with Ham and Anchovie here. So, after the…

[Diet Update] Day 7 – Weigh In!
So how’d it go? The first week has gone well. None of the food was repulsive, in fact, it has been a bit of a surprise to find that the Jane Plan food is delicious. I’ve lost over 2kgs, which is precisely what I was looking for. OK, I have 24 to go (around 4st…
[Diet Update] Day 5 – Gnomic Nudity
Yesterday evening was the when I experienced “Gnomic Nudity“, otherwise known as my Gym Induction. Didn’t you do that a few days ago? Well, that was my PT’s gym, this is the gym in my building. I plan to see my PT at his gym and do my day-to-day exercise in my building’s gym. Hence my…

Be Prepared! Be Lazy!

Kitchen Essentials – A Mandoline
Food bloggers and writers often discuss ‘kitchen essentials’, Most, if not all, start with ‘a good knife‘. I can’t disagree, but when it comes to making life easy for yourself, I put a mandoline right up with a good, sharp, knife. Being able to slice veg quickly is a godsend. When your cooking something quick…
Why One ‘Crazy’ Cook
It’s an excellent question. I suppose that in reality, I was just searching for a decent blog name. When I came to this one, I realised that there is only one of me, and with my mental health issues, I suppose some people could consider me crazy. I wear my ‘crazy’ crown with pride these…
