TBH the meals from that book were very easy not too many steps which is why I would defo recommend it as an easy way to add some variety to your food 🙌🏼
I’ve got to say I have a pile of the books and it’s only because k decided to use this one for the blog that I actually used it usually I look at the pictures think they look nice then put it on my shelf 🤦🏻♀️ But I really enjoyed trying the new meals and these ones were super easy to make so it has definitely spurred me on to use the books more I now see that mixing up weeknight meals doesn’t have to be time consuming or confusing 🫤 I love the book and aim to work my way through more of the recipes 🙌🏼
Morning Claire ,excellent video ,yes I’m stuck not losing and getting a little bit complacent,so go to SWon Thursday will pick up this book really getting bored with what I’m eating as we all know boring is a dangerous place to be ! So sorry to hear about your Grandad ,I remember you saying you did his shopping every week .x
Thanks Kim ♥️ It’s so easy to get like that I feel I’ve been a bit stuck too 🙄 and you are right getting bored of what you are eating is no good !!! Good luck with this week let me know how you get on xxx
Loved this vlog. I will definitely try your veggie/chickpea chilli it looked lush. I have just picked up the Take Five book from group, and will be trying the recipes. As I don’t eat red meat, I am going to try substituting with quorn pieces or mince. Not sure how that will work out. The salmon tray bake looks very tasty. Have a good week xx
I find doing a meal plan is such a relief as is putting it on meal planner part of App on a Sunday for week coming, for me it takes away that sudden hit wall of hungry and tired and plenty in house to cook but no clue what to do nightmare. I make home made Soup Sunday and Wednesday.. Sunday always interesting as usually made from any sad veg available in house but so tasty. I love hunting out new recipes but heck never stick to them use the idea then as my family say I tweak but as I point out that is the fun of cooking and baking.
@@clairemariehoward Hmmm Claire my husband and daughter would say hmmm not organised as such but better plan what I can rather than me turning at Dinner time into a grumpy 2 year old or prickly Hedgehog as I am tired and hungry those 2 bad nees bad but if I am cold as well even I say avoid me 😂 Have good week Claire you do amazing plate spinning 💜
Lovely nails Claire, I especially thought the brown print design was gorgeous😊 Do you get your nails done at your salon? Lovely food, bagels look Amazing 🎉❤
Thanks Claire x yes I do my own nails I did the tortoise shell for the beauty expo week before last so they were a little extra to usual x the bagels are so good 😊 👍🏼
The salmon was really nice and that sauce was 👍🏼 so simple to make and the lime juice and zest was a really good flavour 🙌🏼 200 !!!! every thing goes in my air fryer at 200 😂😂😂😂
Just bought the pressure cooker - so excited 😂 where did you get that joint of beef it looked amazing 🤩 what frying pan do you use mine need replacing x
Hi Deborah it was just from Asda the beef joint and my pan is Tefal. It’s a good time for meat I got pork and a leg of lamb both half price with Nectar points this week x 👌🏼
Sorry Claire but what possessed you to have the nails with a black edging? Loved the tortoiseshell from the previous week. That aside I really enjoy your posts and I have bought the same book so will try some of the recipes next week.
Ok so there is actually a story behind that !!! The tortoise shell ones I done in a rush using a nail art foil the black outline goes under those . So I done them myself and in a rush so about a week later they chipped and I pretty much nibbled and picked all the tortoise shell foil off so eventually I was left with naked nails except for the black outline !!! So in answer to your question I didn’t opt for that it was just the trashed version of my original nails 💅🏼
Either way The almond milk is 400ml for hex a or 3 syns so kinda up to you which works best within your day or portions. The only other syns is the sweetner I made one last night and didn’t miss that at all so I’ll be leaving that out in future and of course your toppings
Which couch 5k are you doing and how many times a week? I need to get back into it and going to do it on the treadmill rather than outside. It’s so hard where we are living now as so hilly lol 😂. Your food always looks so great 😀 hun. You can tell in your videos that you enjoy cooking. Don’t beat yourself up hun. We all have gains etc. ❤❤❤❤❤Sometimes it’s if you’ve drank during the day etc and what you’ve eaten etc. xxxxxx
Thanks Claire x yeah I had a had a couple of bad days so it wasn’t unexplained 🫣 I’m using the bbc /nhs couch to 5 k it has 3 runs per week so I’m just aiming to get those 3 in a week . I’m finding treadmill a good way to do it x
