#BreadlineChallenge – The Results

December 12, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

The west and north of Scotland was hit this week by a weather bomb – gale force gusting to hurricane force winds in some areas, snow, hail, thunder, lightning and frighteningly turbulent seas. Lightning in Shetland is not a common phenomenon, so it was quite remarkable to have had several days of it. Yesterday afternoon I …

#BreadlineChallenge Days 6 & 7 – Running Out of Food

November 30, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

I’ve been struggling a bit this weekend. Not with hunger (although not having my late evening snacking sessions have been difficult), but with trying to be creative with what little I’ve got. That John Lewis Christmas Hamper I was sent for review last week has been sitting in the kitchen corner tempting me with it’s gorgeous …

November 29, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

FoodCycle Fundraising Total so far: £120 7:45 Wake. Kept hitting snooze. Feel like I’ve bit hit by a steam roller today. 8:00 Two coffees! 9:00 School run. Skipping the exercise session this morning, and for the rest of the Breadline Challenge as I think I need to conserve energy. This morning’s p90x plyometrics would have …

#BreadlineChallenge Day 4 – 25p Hummus

November 28, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

Please sponsor me over at Virgin Money Giving. 7:30 Awake. Dreams last night: foraging for wild fruit in my garden. They were the biggest juiciest strawberries and raspberries I have ever, ever seen. 8:00 Mug of coffee and put porridge oats on to soak to make oat milk. I’ve no more dairy milk as the …

#BreadlineChallenge – Day 3: Getting Creative

November 26, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

My current Food Cycle sponsor total: £110  7:00 am wake up abruptly from a sharp kick in the back from the five year old. Ok, I’m up! Last night’s weird dream: I’d been elected, without my consent (like some bizarre Hunger Games draw) to become the next Queen of the UK. I was devastated; I …

FoodCycle #BreadlineChallenge – The Menu Plan

November 23, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

This coming week from the 24th-30th of November 2014 I am taking the FoodCycle Breadline Challenge.

FoodCycle #BreadlineChallenge

November 14, 2014 by Elizabeth Atia

Food poverty: “the inability to afford, or to have access to, food to make up a healthy diet.” In 2013 The Welfare Reform Act introduced a series of radical changes to the UK welfare system. Its aims were to ensure that ‘works pays’ and to save on public spending but the reality of the situation is …

Kale and Almond Pesto

November 9, 2018 by Elizabeth Atia

Packed full of nutrition, this kale and almond pesto is a breeze to whip up. It’ll keep well for up to a week in the fridge for a quick midweek meal and it freezes well too. Stir into pasta, or serve a dollop with soup or grilled chicken. I never used to like kale. Many …

Garlic & Kale Pizza

August 9, 2015 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Rennies. The summer growing season is officially in full swing! Poor weather for the first half of this year has meant that many gardens in Shetland have been suffering. Things haven’t been growing as well as they could be and so we’ve only started receiving weekly (instead of fortnightly) vegetable box deliveries. …
