This isn't just dinner... This is a food optimised dinner (spoken in an M&S Ad voice 😉)

Simple baked potato and green beans with Buffalo Chicken... All the flavour and still on plan using only 3 swips 😍 using a simple egg wash and panko Breadcrumbs and then toss in Franks Hot Sauce to finish... Absolute perfection 🤌

🥕 SOFFRITTO MIX… AN ABSOLUTE KITCHEN LIFESAVER 🧅

If you’re looking for an easy way to get more Speed Free Food into your meals without adding loads of extra prep, then soffritto mix is an absolute game changer 🙌❤️

I love having this handy in the freezer because it makes it SO easy to bulk up dinners, soups and stews with extra veggies without having to spend ages chopping everything up 👏

🍲 Throw it into soups for extra flavour and goodness
🍝 Add it to bolognese, chilli or pasta sauces
🥘 Bulk up casseroles and stews
🍳 Even use it as a base for all sorts of tasty meals

It’s one of those little shortcuts that makes staying organised and making healthier choices that bit easier, especially when life is busy and the temptation to take the easy option is Real 😂

If you want to learn how to eat the foods you love and hit your goals then come along..

Say it loud 🙌 this is how food optimising works.

19/10/2026

For a couple of reasons I didn't post my Friday results last week.

Full disclosure post:

I was utterly disappointed with my results on Friday morning. I was very upset and was so disappointed. I had a great week and have no real idea where the gain came from 😢

So, I knew I had a busy weekend and had a plan in my head of how I would work it all food wise and honestly I threw the plan out the window! I completely self sabotaged out of disappointment 😢 on Saturday. However, on Sunday I did start to realise I was only going to cause myself more disappointment if I kept it up. So even though I still had a few very much not on plan wobbles, I started to reign myself in. This morning I still felt it and had to really decide which road I was gonna take. Was I going to continue to sabotage myself out of pity or was I going to pull up my big girl pants and get back on it?? Well as you can see I chose the latter. I didn't actually have a breakfast as I was too busy but I made myself a delicious brunch of boxty, eggs, bacon medallions and mushrooms and I already feel more in control and better 😍

Our emotions can always get the better of us and what we do after the fact is what defines us in every situation. I had to take the time to evaluate what meant more to me and what I wanted and make a choice.

So if this sounds like something that happens in your life... I get you 🫶

Anyone else a bit of a lazy cook? Or just doesn't have the time to always be chopping but really want to hit your goals??? Well if I can lose 4 and a half stone whilst being no Nigella then you can too!!

I love anything pre-washed, pre-chopped, sometimes frozen that can make me delicious meals and also get me to target 🎯❤️

Cause sometimes life just be lifing and we need a helping hand 😊

So if you want to get going, then come along...

🏡 My house is currently a cloud of sanding dust, but dinner is still happening 🤣

Honestly, the state of my house right now… you’d think I was living inside a bag of flour! 🙈😂

But instead of reaching for the takeaway menu, I made the choice to throw together a speedy chilli beef 🌶️🍲 because my goal means more to me than saving myself half an hour in the kitchen!

Is it the most glamorous cooking environment? Absolutely not 😂

Am I probably seasoning the chilli with a light dusting of plaster? Possibly 🤣🤦‍♀️

But dust counts as SPEED, right?💨😂

It's not about being perfect or having everything go to plan. It's about making those little choices that keep us moving towards our goals, even when life is a bit of a dusty disaster 💪❤️

Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be eating my food and trying not to sand the inside of my mouth 🤣

A little Sunday morning fun...

I asked Chat gpt to create a picture of me in a place I absolutely don't belong and well they got it 100% right 😂😂 this is definitely a place you would never find me (unless I'm having a wander with the kids) and certainly not shoveling cow offerings 😂 I am not made for that... Well my back certainly isn't!

Give it a go and see where you end up 😂
