10 Simple Things #5
Letting go It’s been an overwhelming year, with health issues taking hold of my parents, and a worrying few months of ill health from me too.

Walk + Eat: Sausage Rolls
I cheat when I make ‘homemade’ sausage rolls. I buy the pastry ready rolled, and I also buy pre-made quality sausages that include other flavourings like apple or caramelised onion, instead of just the sausage meat.

Walk + Eat: Breakfast Muffins
These muffins are a great breakfast-on-the-go snack. This recipes makes 12 and you can freeze them too (defrost overnight ready to eat in the morning). Although there is sugar in my recipe (I’m not giving it up anytime soon), it’s much less than shop-bought muffins (12.5g per muffin). These are packed with blueberries and I’ve sprinkled them with pumpkin seeds…

My Autumn To Do List
Outfit details at the bottom of the post Autumn is here and I’m thankful for that. I mentioned in a previous blog post how I was in need of some happy non-adulting distractions, so I thought I’d compile a list (naturally) of things to do during my favourite time of the year. 1.
