I’m not talking about the crazy diet stories we’ve heard that they only drink protein shakes for 9 days pre-show and then nothing for 12 hours before the Victoria secret fashion show. I’m talking about what it is that they eat all the other “regular” days of the year. Because they’re obviously not pigging’ out on chips, pizza and hamburgers from the...
When witches go riding, and black cats are seen, the moon laughs and whispers, ‘tis near Halloween. ~Author Unknown Have I mentioned just how madly in love with Hallowe’en, I am? Well, whether I have or haven’t, I’ll just mention it again. I am superly crazily madly in love with Hallowe’en! I love the weeks leading up to it too, when...
“The fire was nice and bright and on one of the side-tables were four very big barmbracks. These barmbracks seemed uncut; but if you went closer you would see that they had been cut into long thick even slices and were ready to be handed round at tea.” – James Joyce A grey sky morning with pockets of peeping sun and the pitter patter...
Since my blog is titled Eat Like an Actress, I thought it was about time we took a look at some the things actresses actually eat! Because, after all, they are, whether we like it or not, a huge influence on our lifestyles, often looking to what they eat, where they hang out, what they wear, how often they workout etc., to determine what we can do to enhance our own...
I woke up this morning to the sun shining and the most perfect early fall breeze blowing and the gardener already outside among the green, as busy as the humble bumbles around him, buzzing from autumn flower to autumn flower and I just had to add to the blissfulness of the moment by filling the house with the smell of baking. There’s something so cozy about pottering...
Let’s be honest, eating veggies is never exciting. A plate of veggies has never gotten me salivating like a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies or brownies could. They just don’t have the same effect, even though we all know well which our bodies would prefer more. All our colorful plant food friends are packed full of phytonutrients (highly nutritious...
Why are Moms the best things in the world?!! Well first off, they hold us safe in their tummies for nine months before (through a lot of pain (Sorry Mom!) bring us into this crazy wonderful world, then in a prolonged sleep deprived state, they hold us, hug us and care for us, wiping our bottoms and mouths clean until we are able to do it ourselves. They help us with...
No matter what diet I’ve ever undertaken there’s one thing I’ve never been willing to compromise no matter what… and that’s dessert. You know, something sweet to end the day with. It’s a habit I haven’t yet kicked, but honestly, I don’t want to. I feel like dessert is one of the joys of being alive, like hearing the rain outside while you’re cozy...
Gluten Free Cheesy Salmon Pie. It’s one of those rare days in Ireland where the sun makes her late summer debut and temperatures reach a perfect high of 28 degrees. It may only happen a handful of times in an Irish year but jeez, when Ireland has a beautiful day, there may be no country to compare. As elusive as these days are, I always find myself trying...
