2016 - A Year of Food

Now that we are almost at the end of another year I thought it would be nice to look back over 2016. Over the year I have shared so many recipes I thought that it would be fun to pick out my 12 favourite recipes. It has been lovely looking back over the year and reading through the various recipes and trying to narrow it down to one favourite recipe per month. But I have done it and here are my 12 favourite recipes of 2016!

New Years Eve Party Food with Aldi

On the run up to Christmas I gave you my top money saving tips in my #ThriftyChristmasThursday posts with Aldi. I gave you tips on how to save money on your meat, fish and vegetarian options, vegetables, desserts and sweet treats and drinks. Today I am going to tell you how you can save money when it comes to your New Years Eve party.

Aldi stock a wide variety of party food. From their everyday range to their Specially Selected range. There is going to be something to suit everyone. Party food is definitely the easy option as their range can all be cooked at the same temperature. Served alongside fresh salad, dips, coleslaw and pickles you can be sure to create a buffet that will not only please but will also impress.

Here are my top party food choices, as taste tested by my family...

Stick To Stigu - Blogger Planner Review

I don't know about you, but next year I am planning to be a bit more organised. Having a regular diary just is not enough when I am wanting to plan my blog posts as well as my personal life. So when I saw Stick To Stigu I thought that I may have just found the answer to my problems!

Stick To Stigu have just released their First Edition planners for 2016. Stick To Stigu's motto is "Plan Hard, Play Hard, Rest Hard" which, in my mind, is a great way to live and a great way to plan for the new year.

A New Year

The new year has arrived.

 

Christmas is over for another year!

 

I do not believe in making new years resolutions. They always seem to get broken and are usually things that are said on the spur of the moment.

However I am going to make a conscious effort to do a few more things for me.

Over the Christmas holiday I have got a bit lazy with my skincare routine, eaten whatever I want without a second thought, drank alcohol everyday and just really enjoyed life and indulged. But hey that's what Christmas is partly about. Enjoyment!

Now it's all over I am feeling pretty urrgghh!

So here is my plan for January!

* Get my skincare routine back as it was and get healthier, brighter skin again. I'm definitely going to be enjoying a few make up free days!

* Get our routine back. I love having a routine and feel out of sorts when I don't have one.

* Have a healthy eating month. My poor body is screaming out for more water and fruit!

* This year I am going to make time to read. I love to read, I always have, however since having the twins I am always either too tired or too busy! I have got so many books to read but hubby got me a couple of new books for Christmas so I started one of them last night.

This is only day 2, but this month, I am starting as I mean to go on!
