Healthier Millionaire Shortbread
Millionaire’s Shortbread has been my husband’s favourite afternoon tea treat (or any time!) for as long as I can remember, and he can’t order a coffee from a coffee shop without adding one to his purchases. So with good intentions to keep the family healthy as far as possible I set out to create a […]
Continue reading40 OK Cheat Foods, for Men’s Health (and women too!)
When you’re on a diet cheat foods appeal even more, because they’re the forbidden fruit. Or are they? While I normally work with women, Men’s Health Magazine contacted me for advice on how and why so called ‘cheat foods’ are fine to include in your diet. The reason you can ‘have your cake […]

This healthy cheesecake recipe is a long way from the low calorie, processed imitation ‘diet’ cheesecakes that big diet food brands make (and trust me I’ve tried most of them).
