Optimum Vac2 Air Vacuum Blender Review – Suck it and See
As a Froothie ambassador I’ve been lucky enough to try out a range of blenders. The first one to live in my kitchen was the Optimum 9200A.

Granny’s Apple Pie with Wholemeal Spelt and a Food Processor Giveaway
Calling this Granny’s apple pie is perhaps a bit far fetched. My Grandmother made the best pastry ever and wonderful apple pies to boot, but I very much doubt she’d have even heard of spelt and she’d never have used wholemeal flour. She also made her pastry by hand. This pastry was made using my new VonShef 1000W food processor. Read on to find out how to enter the giveaway for a chance of winning one for yourself.

10 Juicer Recipes with Fruits, Roots & Leaves and Introducing JUlaVIE
Much as I love my smoothies, sometimes I could really do with a shot of pure juice.

Cucumber Roll-Ups with a Garlicky Feta & Mint Filling
If you’ve never rolled a cucumber, I urge you to do so.

Carrot Smoothie with Ginger & Orange, Ten a Day & The Self-Cleaning Juisir
I thought I ate a lot of fruit and veg, but I’m finding that getting in the newly recommended ten a day is a bit of a challenge. We usually start off our mornings with a smoothie packed full of all sorts of nutritious ingredients. This carrot smoothie with ginger & orange ticks off one of the ten. Only another nine to go then. Juicing could be a good way of adding more fruit and veg to our diet. I’ve stayed clear of juicers, however, as I’ve heard they can be a bit of a faff to clean. But, cue fanfare, this may be a thing of the past with the all singing, all dancing self-cleaning Juisir.

Ginger Green Goddess Smoothie – Power Up Your Breakfast
Since acquiring a decent blender, we’ve become complete smoothie converts. We have them for breakfast more often than not. It’s a great way to use our kefir and other healthful ingredients. However, it wasn’t until BRITA asked me if I’d like to make one of their recipes and try out their new water filter jug, that I made a kefir-free smoothie. This dairy free ginger green goddess smoothie turned out to be an utter delight.

Pigs at pannage in the Forest. Hoovering up nuts and acorns this morning.
So much magnificent autumn colour this year. Despite being mega busy, we managed a walk in the Forest yesterday. The dappled light and warmth from the sun made it a perfect autumnal day.
