What’s cooking you ask? You know how it goes, some weeks I feel like I could take on the world whilst others… I absolutely love cooking and sharing my recipes here with you all but for some reason this week, I honestly felt like I had nothing to say. Like I’d used up all my words or something. And do you know what’s even weirder? I didn’t really feel guilty about it. For example, normally if I’m a little pressed for time or unprepared for my Monday post I will totally stress out. I’m not quite sure what I think will happen but I made a commitment to myself when I started this journey. Plus, I am a girl who likes routine.

Lovely Lemon Dressing
Dressing – it’s such a simple step that can elevate a salad or veg to next level yum. The thing is, for so many of us it’s often an afterthought. It’s such a shame that so much time and effort is put into buying fresh, seasonal produce only for it to be doused in sub-par, store bought dressing. No more I say! You can make you’re own dressing. And it will taste better and be better for you than the alternative. So, with that in mind today’s post is the first in a series I’ll be doing on the humble salad dressing. My Lovely Lemon Dressing is bright, light, and incredibly simple to make. Let’s get cracking!
