Foodie / LUCY LOVES TO EAT

Happy Hearts Day 2020

March 16, 2020

Valentine's Day has long come and gone and I had completely forgotten that I'd wanted to share this blog post until I was scrolling back through my photos on my phone. As you guys know, I now love to make every celebratory day or festival a thing for Isaac.

Valentines is fast approaching, what will you be getting for that special person in your life? For the person who has everything, a practical and useful gift or an edible gift is probably the best idea.

Happy new year! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Years, I had a wonderful time and spent a week in lovely Yorkshire visiting close friends and it made such a nice change from London.

This is the first year that Isaac is old enough to understand the concept of Halloween and it was the first time I took him trick or treating! Halloween was never a big deal for me as a kid but now that I have my own child, I can't love this holiday more and have so much fun making an occasion out of it. I blogged about his first halloween when he was a wee 3 months old and now he's 3!

I rarely leave the house without some sort of snack in my bag, you know... just in case! And that's with or without Isaac in tow. I like to mix it up, healthy snacks as well as pure sugary treats, it's all about balance.

When my lovely friend A announced her pregnancy, I was over the moon for her and asked her straight out if I could plan her baby shower. I love an excuse to plan a party (take a look at my baby shower and one of my besties), and especially gushable baby showers. Together with her awesome friend C, we sorted out a baby shower dessert bar, bunting decorations, a guest signing book and plenty of fun games!

Breakfast seems to be the most favourite meal of the day for many people and whilst I don't really fall in that camp, I never skip breakfast since I usually wake up ravishing. There are exceptions though, such as weekend brunches when my sister makes her signature pancakes or decides to cook a full English!

I have to admit that I am the queen of lateness when it comes to blogging. A ton of drafts with all good intentions to be blogged about... So, a few years back (ahem!), I got to try Sweden's king of all cheeses Vasterbottensost and I was immediately hooked. I can't tolerate all cheese, especially not the smelly stuff like blue cheese and even brie is a no go for me.

4th of July and my baby turned 1 years old.

I can't believe how fast the time has flown and my baby is no longer a baby! I got all emotional writing his first birthday card, trying to use words to convey how much I love him. One day he will read all his birthday cards from G and I, and I'm sure he will be suitably embarrassed.

We all know how much better our mornings, lunch breaks and drinks 'o'clock would be if we could just grab what we wanted without the world and his wife in the queue, but that would just be dreaming right?

We all know how good olive oil is for you but do you know which one to pick depending on what you're cooking?

Candy bars are so American but in past few years they have really taken off in the UK, and many of my friends had one at their wedding.

I've been getting the Degustaboxes for quite some time now and it's always exciting to open the box and see what goodies lay inside. I was expecting at least some mini Easter eggs for the March Easter Degustabox* but sadly, there were non. But there were at least some chocolate in the box, so I guess it had to do.

I adore seafood but don't cook it often enough at home, so when I came across Fish For Thought, I couldn't wait to give them a try.

I am late in reviewing the November Degustabox* since I was in Hong Kong for a whole month from mid November onwards.

There were some really delicious snacks in November's box which G and I chomped through in no time with a good selection of sweet and savoury snacks and drinks too.

I can't believe that November has already arrived and Winter is now upon us. Winter is the time to celebrate foods that are soul-warming and a time to embrace bold flavours.

October's Degustabox* was full of awesomeness. For starters, some of my favourite snacks were back in and because there were no drinks in this month's box, it meant more snacks and cooking ingredients.

There was plenty to celebrate with this month's box, and I'll share my favourites with you in a tick.

But before I start, if you fancy trying out a box for yourself, you can now get it with a huge discount! With a whopping £7.00 off, your Degustabox will only cost £5.99!

Make sure you use the discount code 4JXWS at the checkout.

Every month, Degustabox will send you 9-15 items, some of which can't be easily found in the supermarkets, so it's a great way to discover new things.

I'm not one to celebrate Halloween usually, but now that I have a baby I can't wait to start making more of an effort with all festivities, so consider this my first ever proper Halloween!

As always, I love my monthly deliveries of Degustabox* goodies. Not knowing what I'm going to get always thrills me, but sadly, September's box wasn't really to my taste. There were a few snacks that I did really enjoy, so it wasn't completely bad.

Let's take a look at this month's box.

My favourite variety of apples are royal galas and in our household, we buy them every week.

Did you know that there are at least 12 varieties of British apples and they all have their own seasons? Nope, neither did I. So when the lovely guys at Love English Apples sent me a box of their best apples, I couldn't wait to go through them.
