Happy Christmas from Dublin

Hi everyone, I hope you are all keeping well. This picture of the River Liffey was taken last weekend when I was in college in Dublin City Centre.  Doesn’t it look beautiful in the morning ?!

Recipe | Blueberry Banana Ice Cream

This recipe is a simple as it gets. All you need are some frozen bananas and blueberries to make a deliciously sweet antioxidant rich frozen dessert. The best thing about nice cream is that it is so healthy you can eat it for breakfast.  For me, this makes a nice change from porridge and smoothies.  It’s nice to mix it up sometimes.                                      

Let Food Be Thy Medicine …

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food ~ Hippocrates

Hi guys, I hope you are all keeping well on this lovely Friday. As some of you are aware, I transitioned to a plant based diet very recently. It has been two months since I made the change.  I went vegetarian last Summer and at the same time I cut right back on dairy.  Two months ago I decided to completely cut out dairy and eggs and I haven’t looked back since. It has been the best decision I have ever made.                                                      

Photography | Here and Now

We depend on nature not only for our physical survival. We also need nature to show us the way home, the way out of the prison of our minds. We got lost in doing, thinking, remembering, anticipating – lost in a maze of complexity and a world of problems.  We have forgotten what rocks, plants and animals still know. We have forgotten how to be – to be still, to be ourselves, to be where life is : here and now.  ~ Eckhart Tolle

Recipe |Strawberry Smoothie Bowl

Hi lovely people, I hope you are doing well and having a good week. I’m back with another recipe, this time for a delicious smoothie bowl that I just can’t seem to get enough of. My son is no longer consuming dairy so I was looking to make something for him to replace yoghurts.

Photography | The Irish Coast

Hi lovely people, sorry I went missing for a while.  Its been a hectic few months, but of the good variety.  Things have been going well.  Its Summer in Ireland so with the lovely weather and the sunshine, I think that always gives everyone a little boost.  The joys of a bit of Vitamin D, eh?!

This photo that I am sharing today was taken in Dundalk, Co Louth.  We went away for the long weekend and it was so nice to have a change of scenery and be by the coast.  I always feel such a sense of peace and calmness when I am near the water.  Maybe its something to do with being an Aquarian?! Who knows !!!
