These recipes are just for fun, and I think that they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. 

If you currently have a diagnosed eating disorder then I recommend that you see a qualified nutrition professional to discuss your dietary requirements.  

i'VE CHOSEN A FEW OF THE MOST POPULAR RECIPES TO SHARE HERE

did you know...

i was a multi-award winning food/ health blogger

Yep. From 2015 to 2020 I had a health food blog. 

In 2020 I took the decision to delete the blog. It's no longer my passion, plus I disagree with the lifestyle that I was promoting in some of my earlier posts.

I was still struggling with bulimia when I started the blog and my definition of healthy eating was very restrictive.
