Thank you for this reminder. It's so easy to get stuck in our own worlds, thoughts, and ideas that we forget that it's all still a bit of a shit show on deeper inspection!
Thank you Kerry! Those nachos are so good and don’t really count as cooking… more assembly. Perfect, in my opinion, for dinner on grocery shopping days.
I love this-all too often listen to our own thoughts as though we know best! I was enjoying reading and then I started opening the recipes, I am a big salmon lover- and I will try that one soon!
Have a fabulous trip- only good things come back from a European vacation! Enjoy~
Salmon has been something I’ve learned to love as an adult. I didn’t like it at all when I was younger, but year by year, I started liking it more and now we eat it often. Thank you for the well wishes! I am so excited for this trip! Only good things! Yes!
I hope you’re having the best time EVER in Europe and I can’t wait to hear all about it! 💖 I love what you wrote about us not having to believe our own thoughts BUT ALSO about how you just started walking away and protected your space. I always struggled with that in my 20s and 30s, being polite and staying when I didn’t want to. Not so much anymore but it took so long to give myself permission to put myself first in those situations. We all need to walk away from negativity a lot more often.
Yes! This is something I think you just have to learn with age. That we get to choose who we talk to, who we spend time with, and who’s ideas and opinions we let influence and affect us. It’s much harder to do when you’re young.
A great reminder that we are not our thoughts. And another great reminder about that orange drizzle cake that I've been meaning to make (my only issue is I have so many friends with a sweet tooth who have a gluten intolerance- do you think replacing the flower with a gluten free flour would work? Enjoy Europe!
Thank you Liza! Yes… I think a gluten free flour mix would work well in this cake. One word of caution: this is already a very soft cake, so you might want to go easy on the drizzle when using gluten free flour because that substitution might make it even softer. Serve the extra drizzle over individual slices instead.
I want to make every one of these recipes in turn! Almond salsa! Lemon evoo loafs! Have a wonderful holiday, Rebecca! Xx
Thank you Lolly!!!

Ha! Yes! Shit show is the right phrase for sure. 😂
Have a wonderful time in Europe!
Thank you Amela!
Have an amazing trip! Adding those BBQ chicken nachos to my list too—yum!!
Thank you Kerry! Those nachos are so good and don’t really count as cooking… more assembly. Perfect, in my opinion, for dinner on grocery shopping days.
So so great to have those assembly kind of dinners to turn to when you truly don’t feel like cooking!
