I love a pie and slice of cake as much as anyone but there are certain times when I need to cut back and lose those few extra pounds before more and more creep on and I become a small round thing (there are some photos of a very spherical me from my uni days!)
Until I reach the middle of that lovely sky blue colour in the Dairy Diary weight chart (see page p22) I am going to stick to these simple rules:
Healthy snacks include fruit, raw veggies or pickles served with some protein such as eggs, ham or Quorn cocktail sausages (love these) or maybe a hot milky drink or a small portion of cheese.
Sweet & salty popcorn is also a great choice as it feels like a treat without the guilt.
It’s important to keep meals
interesting with lots of colourful
veggies and variety.
I love pickles as a side and a snack, in particular this wonderful cauliflower from the 2016 Diary.

After the hubbub of Christmas it’s easy to feel a little fed up. The weather’s dismal and the excitement of the season has been and gone.
However, now’s the time to embrace the cold – cosy up indoors and create something lovely.
The feel-good factor of crafting
is a great mood lifter.
The project may seem a little premature, but it’s a great way of recycling Christmas cards and gift wrap. It also means that you can already tick one thing off the to-do list for next Christmas.
Pop your gorgeous tags in a box and store with your Christmas decorations – and don’t forget to make a note in your Dairy Diary – otherwise it’s easy to forget and buy new tags in November.
Christmas gift tags for 2016
1 Choose pretty elements from the old cards and wrap cut with a punch, knife or paper cutter.
2 Cut squares or rectangles of paper slightly larger.
3 Layer one on top of another on a piece of card and secure with double-sided tape.
4 Punch in a hole and thread with ribbon or wool.
Look out for part 2 coming soon.

It was packed full of stirrers and umbrellas and decorative straws, and I spent hours fixing exotically embellished cocktails of Ribena for my friends.
Nowadays, I’m not a Ribena fan, but I still love a cocktail. My favourite is Espresso Martini and I have now mastered this classic at home. Here’s how to make it – it’s really easy and just perfect for the New Year celebrations on Thursday.
