Caramelised Onion & Apple Boxing Day Chutney

Come Boxing day I will be donning my stretchiest pair of p-j bottoms, feeling the size of a house and verging on popping point…yet still I will find a way to fit in just a teensy weensy bit more turkey & stuffing. Anyone else?
And what better way to top off your turkey & stuffing than with an almighty dollop of homemade chutney. Mmm. Yes please.

Blogging Tips // A Stress Free Mind

Snap found here

There is nothing I love more than scrubbing an item off my to-do list. Yes, that makes me a sad sad human, but there really is no better feeling than when all your errands are run and you can kick back, make a cuppa and put Modern Family on.

The Perfect Everyday Necklace

In my venture to find the perfect everyday necklace there have been SO many close contenders. I've been hooked on the beautiful designs and shapes scattering websites and shops - it's so difficult to chose! I just want one of all of them please Mr Santa Claus. But if not…then you can find my very favourite choice at the bottom...

Healthy Snacks // Parmesan Asparagus Sticks

Healthy Snacks Parmesan Asparagus The Betty Stamp

I'm a self confessed grazer. Biscuits, crackers, sweeties...I just cannot keep snack items in my cupboards or I will turn into the size of a house. So I've decided to bake some alternative snacks to keep in my fridge so I won't feel guilty having a mid afternoon nibble!

These parmesan asparagus sticks are ideal for dunking into your favourite dip! I chose a squidge of lemon and dipped them in sour cream & chive. Snack craving sorted without taking onboard too many cals!
