Today’s post is a quick recipe update of my Strawberry & Banana Oaty Bars which are a go-to snack for me at the moment! They’re super comforting, great with a cup of tea and come in at just over 100 calories per bar. I’m whipping up a batch every weekend right now as they’re so easy to take to work for snacks and are super tasty but this week I decided to give them a bit of a decadent edge with the addition of some Butterfly & The Bee jam in Apricot & Amaretto flavour. Yes, it’s as good as it sounds. I’ve replaced the chia and strawberry jam with this delightful jar of sweetness and they’ve turned out pretty well! I’ve also upped the oat content to 100g instead of 80g and replaced the instant oats/oat flour with oat bran and they’ve come out much more solid each time I’ve made them this way. A definite improvement.
Browns Afternoon Tea Review: Nottingham
What’s better than cosying up with tea and cake on a rainy Saturday afternoon? Pretty much nothing in my opinion.

Gin Explorer – The Best Parcel, Ever?
You’ve heard of Birchbox and Glossybox, right? The monthly beauty subscription boxes that have inspired interior design subscription boxes, snack boxes such as Graze and even stationery (breathe!) monthly boxes. A monthly box is like Christmas every 4 weeks! You get a present, yeah, that you’ve bought yourself, but it’s still a surprise what’s in your box every time it pops through the letterbox.
