A green monster is a spinach and banana smoothie. Some recipes here -http://greenmonstermovement.com/?page_id=39 It tastes a lot! better than it sounds

I know what you mean Keldelacoe, this weather means I'm filling up on stodgy foods too. I wish summer would hurry up and get here. I found my first bike on freecycle, might be worth a look?

Enjoy the cooking Mumma K

I'm off for a swim this morning, then will get some meal planning done and a bit of batch cooking later. Maybe some chicken cauli curry and saag aloo, or abit of jalfrezi. Not sure yet.

Can I ask where you got your popcorn tea? I love the Teapigs one but it's too expensive I keep that as a special treat and would be very excited if there was a cheaper alternative x

Lots cheaper, plus it's loose so you can make it last as long as you like. I use a level tsp in a mini strainer per big mug and it tastes lovely.
