I share my workouts to show what I do, not to tell you what to do.
I post my workouts with a percentage of my max rather than stating what weights or speeds I use. Everyone is different and has different levels of fitness and capability. Your body is yours alone if you want to start working out, I recommend spending some time with a personal trainer who can put you on the right path.
When working out with weights, remember your one-rep max is yours alone, finding the weights that are right for you is important. If you decide to try out a workout, find out what weights you should be using first.

I am one of those unfortunate people that is allergic to not only peanuts but also tree nuts. When it comes to food options, not having nuts on the menu can be challenging at times and frustrated at others. There are so many foods I would love to try or eat regularly but won’t get the chance thanks to nuts. Not eating nuts doesn’t have to be the end of the world; there are always replacements and alternatives that mean you can have a nut-free option. This recipe is my attempt to create a nut-free version of a usually nut packed recipe.
Nut-free breakfast crunch
My take on granola
I don’t always want a protein shake or eggs for breakfast, at times I want something with a bit more texture and some crunch to start my day. This recipe is ben a staple in our fridge for a long time now, I recently updated this recipe to add in some more variety with the addition of hemp hearts and buckwheat groats. I like to add it to the top of my smoothie bowl or some coconut yoghurt.

I’ve been revisiting recipes that have been some of my old school recipes and family favourites that were our staples when we got started as clean eaters. I first posted this recipe in 2016, at that time, the kids were fussy, vegetables had to be hidden and disguised, and there was no potential for intense flavours or spice. Times (thankfully) have changed, the kids have grown (like man-sized grown), and they now enjoy a wide range of foods. Things like vegetables are enjoyed, spice and chilli are consumed without complaint, and new ingredients are tried without tantrums. As the kids have grown, my recipes have changes organically to meet their palates and preferences, I’ve updated this recipe because of that, but fear not, all I have done is make it a little bit better. The original suitable be kids, and less developed palates is at the bottom of the post.
Takeaway alternative
We all love a naughty takeaway, but we can all live without the extra calories and the expanding waistlines. You don’t need to live without your takeaway, swap it out for a delicious and healthier fakeaway. I always love a good burger, they are my guilty pleasure. These burgers tick the box for a great burger without too much naughtiness. The crumbled cheese adds a great texture to the burgers and delivers some extra flavour., I love to serve these burgers on a lettuce bun with some cucumber slices.
Lamb burgers recipe
Ingredients
600g lamb mince
3 garlic cloves minced
3 spring onions finely sliced
100g Feta crumbled
1 tbsp. oregano
1 tsp. Lemon juice
1 tsp. Chilli powder
1 tbsp. ground cumin
Take a large mixing bowl.
Add the spring onions, oregano, chilli powder, ground cumin and garlic.
Sprinkle in the feta and add the lamb mince to the bowl.
With your hands mix together the ingredients so everything is well distributed.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions.
Roll the portions into balls before flattening them out into burger patties.
Lightly oil a frying pan over a medium heat.
Fry the burgers until they are golden brown on each side.
Serve on a lettuce bun with sliced cucumbers and grilled halloumi.
These burgers have a crumbly cheese surprise that will make your glad you have a fakeaway for dinner
