I would like to take a moment to introduce you to some really inspiring Blog writers that I have discovered on my recent journey back to vegetarianism! I am not promoting vegan, vege or anything in particular but I wanted to give these guys a shout out. They are women on a mission to be at their best physically and mentally through healthy eating and a sensible attitude to exercise.

Angela who writes OH SHE GLOWS  dreams of new cookie recipes whilst doing her work out! doesn’t get more real than that. ‘Oh She Glows’ is a place of wonder and indictment, full of mouth-watering vegan recipes.

When life gives you lemons

You make marmalade.

farmersrmarketjam (great blog)

 

Is what my mum said recently after a very disappointing day. Recently my husband literally got given lemons… lots of lemons. And he made marmalade, spiced lemons ready for a flourless cake and preserved lemons all in one hit. The house smells amazing.

Onto the subject of life giving you lemons I think that this has to be my favourite saying because actually, to be able to turn something sour into something delicious takes confidence, courage and wisdom. Inside and out of the kitchen. The ability to not weaken under the pressure of doubt and disappointment and to channel those feelings towards doing something positive is something I truly admire.

There are various sayings in reference to ‘one door closing and another one opening’ I think that you must have the courage to venture into the new doorway and not get stuck in limbo, outside the one that closed.

So go make marmalade people. literally and not literally. Write to me and tell me how your marmalade went and how you turned a sour situation into something positive, I would love to hear from you.

Ps. In keeping with the theme of this post, I will be posting a follow up on how we turned our marmalade (which was not perfect as we over cooked the pectin!)  into something even better!

Few moments make me happier than the one just waking up, before I open my eyes, when I hear the soft, constant tapping of rain.

I know, I know. Most people are shuddering at the mere suggestion of a drizzle. But, for me, this moment I'm talking about is a savory one. Rain means a brisk morning walk and the smell of eucalyptus trees in Golden Gate park.
