Like most of us, I am a busy mum who has to feed her family each day with not much time available.

Therefore, I have developed lots of quick healthy meals that I use during the week that still taste delicious and more importantly don't take much time!  Here are my favourite recipes for you to enjoy...

I’M SO GLAD I FOUND PHILLY’S CLASSES, SHE IS BRILLIANT AT WORKING YOU HARD WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT! I ALWAYS COME AWAY FEELING ENERGISED, AND THE SETTING OF HER GARDEN STUDIO OVERLOOKING FIELDS IS THE PERFECT BREAK FROM SITTING AT MY DESK.
