Loving the quirk out of....Broghies






I started writing this post months ago and then my brain got taken over by work and other mind consuming things and it got left sitting in my drafts!

Something I've been loving since I started trying to have a healthier relationship with my body is Broghies.  They have been a real find for me.  This is not a Sponsored Post although I did contact Broghies for permission and some information. 
I first found them in Iceland but you can find your local stockist by checking out their website here


One of my favourite things about Broghies is that they are so versatile - they can be sweet or savoury. I must confess I usually eat them a bit a like a prawn cracker with a curry or chilli but here are a few recipes my boyfriend helped me cook up! 

Beef Tacos:

500g lean or less than 5% beef mince
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
2 teaspoons of garlic salt 
1 onion (chopped)
1-2 teaspoons oregano
1 medium pepper
2 teaspoons of Tobasco

Serve with boiled rice and Broghies


Chicken Tacos: 

Chop chicken into strips and leave to marinate for 1 hour. 

Marinade
1 Keffir Lime Leaf (chopped finely)
4 Tablespoons of Worcester Sauce
1 Teaspoon Tobasco 
1 small red Chilli (de-seeded)
1 teaspoon chinese 5 spice
Bundle of fresh coriander
Juice of half a lime

Allow 45 minutes to an hour to marinate but stronger flavour when left for 24 hours.

Serve with salad of your choice and Broghies

The Garden Sessions #1



When I first found out about my furlough from work I had great plans, I was going to bake loads, I was going to do a different online course every single day and get up early to do Yoga every morning.

Fast forward a few weeks and I've largely watched Netflix and emptied my buscuit supply.

I did start the Curly Girl Method on my hair so I'll give myself productivity points for that! ðŸ’ª

I decided today with some encourgement from my boyfriend to hit up the garden with a deckchair.  The wifi works out the front under my bedroom window so I can listen to Disney songs through my earphones and footer about to my hearts content until my laptop loses power or I succumb to Springtime sunburn. Combining vitamind D and fresh air with a bit of creativity. 

I don't know how often I'll feel the urge but I figured it might be fun to use the garden as a bit of a Staycation.  
I can read, I can listen to a podcast, I can write. Provided the old man isn't cutting the grass or one of the neighbours we share with isn't also the garden, it can be my creative spot for the next wee while.

It's actually quite peaceful out here, although anyone in their garden who can hear me typing may disagree! 

I'll confess to very rarely taking time to pay attention to nature, so far this afternoon I've enjoyed spotting a butterfly and a robin - both of which were too fast for me to get a photo of but maybe thats not such a bad thing, I see too many things through the lense of my phone. 

Today's Garden Session

I'm listening to: A generic Dayly Spotify Playlist - lots of Disney and randomly S club 7, I'm guessing that will be the result of looking for Reach a few weeks ago! 

I'm reading:
Nothing today - just scrolling. 

Today's training:
Found a really cool video on Skillshare explaining the difference between American and British Spongecakes and how to get the technique right. 

Today I'm bingewatching:
Community, though technically I was binge watching series one yesterday

Today's Shoes:

Todays Outfit: 

Messy hair and messy background - might talk mum into helping me with a Garden photo next time haha.
