What To Eat, Shop & See In Barcelona

Travel

Last in my Barcelona series is this little lot! Some tips and tricks for a few things that we got up to and I really enjoyed so I wanted to share just in case anyone else is travelling to Barcelona and needs some advice on what to get up to over there.

1. Eat

Eating is always first on my list when it comes to travelling anywhere. I love to do loads of research before I go and then always end up finding new gems that I didn’t discover before. I’ve already done a round-up of my Top 4 Barcelona Brunch Destinations so, if brunch is your thing, definitely give that a read. Brunch is probably one of my favourite occasion because it is that, it’s an occasion, it’s not just a meal! So, brunch aside I’ve got a couple of places that I’d definitely recommend heading for some delicious meals. Read More

Almond, Raisin & Cacao Cookie Recipe

Food & Drink

The nights are closing in, it’s Bake Off season, we’re on the countdown to Christmas and summer is well and truly behind us. This means that the urge to bake (& eat) all kinds of desserts, puddings and cakes is well and truly heightened. Well, for me it is anyway!

I made these little granola-y almond, raisin, and cacao cookies the other day and they’ve turned out quite nicely so I wanted to share them. They’re fairly clean apart from the plain flour that I used but you can always replace this with almond or coconut flour for a cleaner bake but it doesn’t bother me too much. They come in at just over 100 calories each and won’t give you a sugar spike like any old supermarket biscuit will so they’re great if you’re trying to eat a little healthier but still love a sweet treat.

5 Tips To Help You Go Sugar-Free

Food & Drink Health & Fitness

People eat so much sugar these days, it’s in everything! While the sweet stuff isn’t all that bad in moderation, there has been a lot of talk about going sugar-free. Or at least cutting it down a fair bit. I tried clean-eating successfully for a full 8 weeks which includes basically nothing out of a packet. When you start to think about it it’s unreal how much extra stuff is in our food from the supermarkets that we don’t need. Which got me thinking about how you could do that while trying to sustain a normal life and not losing the will to love. I thought I would share with you a few tips!  Read More
