I love celebrating birthdays – it’s always so nice to get together with your favourite people, and they’re just such a great excuse to go for dinner (as if I needed another one!)
To celebrate such an occasion for a friend the other week, we booked a table at The Duncombe Arms for dinner – a pub in Ellastone, Staffordshire, which is a stones throw from Alton Towers
I’m not going to lie, it’s been an indulgent few weeks, so when Mae Ploy™ contacted me to ask if I’d like to try some of their Thai curry pastes I immediately wanted to make something healthy that still packed a punch in the flavour department
This Thai red curry tofu with freekeh & broccoli certainly fits the bill, and is super quick and easy
As a temporary resident of Etwall, it seems only right that I take full advantage of being within walking distance of Blenheim House, and what better night to visit than Ladies Night, where 2 courses were £15.95 and 3 courses were £18.95 (and there was no mention of the World Cup – result!)
You know what it’s like, you’ve got a salad planned for dinner but it’s a gorgeous sunny evening, your willpower runs out and you just have to pop out to a delightful country pub instead! (Just look at that blue sky…!) Cue a little drive down the country lanes to The Cow in Dalbury Lees
Do you ever buy a sackful of fresh spinach and then wonder what you’re going to do with it before it goes soggy? I’m here to help with 3 quick, healthy vegetarian recipes!
