The Beeches, Hampton-in-Arden, 29/09/15














The Beeches in Hampton-in-Arden is only down the road from me and as I have a Gourmet Society Card, I get 2for1 off on all main courses during the week, which is a good deal as it isn't the cheapest of restaurants. It has a lovely atmosphere, very bright and airy and its gorgeous outside in the summer. I met my best friend, Matt here for dinner and as I had done 2 back-to-back gym classes, I was starving and could't wait for some food.

If Only Every Sunday Lunch Could Be This Good! En Place, Two Cats Kitchen, 20/09/15















I love writing these reviews as En Place's pop-up restaurants always exceed my expectations and the food is outstanding. For Septembers pop-up they were doing their take on traditional Sunday lunch. I'm the unusual one, I'm not actually massively bothered by roast dinner and I certainly wouldn't have it every Sunday. But, I was very intrigued to see how Josh & Mike did it, as they have never failed to surprise me.

Fish Tacos, 28/09/15

Fish Taco's














When eating healthy, you still want food that tastes good and I love inventing recipes that are delicious and good for me!

This time its, Fish Tacos - so easy but so delicious. Simply get some plain white fish, cut into strips, cover them in breadcrumbs and leave on the side and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Next prepare the other stuff, I used red onions, garlic, avocado, tomatoes, salsa, coriander, lime and sour cream and literally bung it all together, mix and put into the taco.

Next, I cut some sweet potatoes, put them in the microwave to soften then put them in the oven for 10 minutes until browned.

Once the fish was cooked, I placed the fillets on top of the other mixture and placed some sour cream on top and sprinkled the remaining coriander.

See - so easy, but so tasty! Served with the sweet potatoes and a lime wedge.

What's Better Than 1 Burger? ... Coast 2 Coast, Solihull, 12/09/15



We all know how it goes, Saturday night, can't be bothered to cook and as we live 2 miles away from Touchwood, we decided to go for a quick meal. As I have been eating so healthy, I wanted to go somewhere where I could eat carbs! We decided to go to Coast 2 Coast in Touchwood, its an American Restaurant and Bar with a varied menu. It was very busy when we got there but they managed to get us a table. We were both staving and I couldn't wait to eat 'dirty' food again!

The Club & Spa, The Mailbox, 05/09/15


I love a spa day, such a lovely way to relax;. The Club and Spa in Birmingham, Mailbox is a favourite of mine, I have been 3 times and this was my 4th time. I have enjoyed all my other spa days and they are lovely! The pool area is so refreshing and they have great facilities.

Chung Ying Central, Birmingham, 04/09/15


It's September, I promise I'm catching up on blog posts, I still have so many to do but I'm getting there! This time was a newbie for me and one I was very excited for. Chung Ying Central didn't open that long ago and its a Chinese Dim Sum restaurant mixed with a cocktail bar. I was very excited to be invited along by the owner for a meal for two. After looking at their website and the menu, I couldn't wait!
