Ok, it's early November which is slightly early to be getting Christmas fever, but I'm fully in the spirit already and already planning our Christmas menu with my mum! We'll be making a vegan Christmas cake so my mum can enjoy it, and have a recipe so good that no-one will notice the difference! This vegan cake is also made with whole wheat flour to give it an extra healthy edge.

I have finally reached level 4 of my Ripped in 30 workout DVD! It feels damn good to get here, although it does feel like it's been a long time coming. I lost half a pound last week and toned up a lot so have nothing but high hopes for this final level.
There's a sadistic excitement about starting a new level and wondering how hard it's going to be! I've been tempted to peak and watch a bit of level 4 ever since I opened the DVD and now it's finally here!!!!

I didn't lose any weight last week, but still feel really happy with my progress when I look in the mirror, not to mention buttoning up my jeans. I'm not entirely optimistic about this week either due to the friends in town situation...got to enjoy it while they are here! Was slightly worried that I wouldn't be able to fit in any workouts at all but I did suprisingly well, despite a few moans, so here you have it...Week 3 of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30.

You may notice that Part II of this Ripped in 30 review has had a slight posting delay as I had visitors over for a week and barely had time to touch my laptop. I did my last day on this level the day they arrived and so was feeling pretty smug! I had ended week one with weight loss of just under a pound and was seeing some improvement in my arm muscles and a much flatter stomach. That's enough motivation to get cracking on level two!

Spring is on its way with a whole host of delicious spring produce including peas and beans in a pod. So much better than the frozen ones available all year round at the local supermarket! This recipe is a wonderful way to eat fresh seasonal peas and beans. I know that they taste divine just steamed and served, but sometimes it’s nice to try something different. As a vegan I love this recipe served with little roasted new potatoes and carrots.
A super healthy dish with folic acid and vitamin c.
As a side dish this recipe serves 4.

I like to think of myself as a healthy person but I do get the odd craving for a takeout, and as I'm living in the middle of a city there are plenty of options right on my door-step. On those days where I just don't feel like cooking and crave something "naughty", I usually just go for whatever I feel like and I have zero idea of what kind of nutritional info I'm choosing between when debating a Mediterranean pizza over a vegetable Korma. After all, bad is bad right?
