This is a recipe I put up on Instagram last week, so if you aren't on there yet, here it is for you. (And come & join me there so you don't miss anything!) I have taken a recipe from Quinola Mother Grain, who are the kind folk who keep me stocked up in quinoa, and have turned it into a vegan/vegetarian version which is more nutritious but just as tasty as a rice risotto. And it's much easier & quicker to make! See quick video at the end.......and please subscribe to my You Tube Channel I will be doing a video a week come September: recipes, fashion tips, & anything that helps my lovely, loyal audience. Any requests, let me know!

It's not often that women between 54 and 74 are invited to appear in a national newspaper as "four stylish Instagrammers"  (IF it gets published!).  So I thought you might like to have a behind-the-scenes look at what we got up to on a thoroughly enjoyable day out in London town. All the photos were taken with various i-phones so are not the best quality, but the lighting was fabulously kind to us all & we had a ball.

The bluebells in the UK were stunning this year so I thought I would share with you my favourite images from a wonderful walk at Arlington in East Sussex, followed by an excellent afternoon tea. I have joined a Meetup Group in Brighton called Dog Lovers Dating who arranged this walk, as well as many other lovely get togethers with or without our dogs!

There is so much around on the net at the moment about the benefits of turmeric taken as a tea (ALWAYS with a little black pepper to increase its bioavailability) that I wanted to share one with you that is really quick, easy and has some added extras for optimum health. It's also dairy free. You can make the tea hot or cold but as I don't like tea of any description I make mine as a cold drink (body temperature).  The first attempt wasn't as bad as I expected.......like an easy to swallow health potion.....you can see my first try in the  video at the end.

I have always found quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) a bit of a dull grain albeit a highly nutritious and healthy one. But, thanks to the Seasalt Cafe in Clovelly, (my favourite beach) in Sydney recently, I discovered black quinoa which is way more tasty and crunchy than its slightly slimy white cousin! Thank you for the recipe Chef.
