Healthier pins for a healthy new year

January 18, 2015 by Becs 2 Comments

Gosh it feels so long since I’ve done a post and we’re already more than halfway through January! In 2 days turn I will turn 30, a prospect that seemed impossible when I started this blog nearly 6 years ago. This year is also the year that I’m getting married and I’m now on a mission to get all the finishing touches sorted.

Stereotypically for the New Year I am on a bit of a health kick after I got on the scales after Christmas and discovered I’d put on 5lbs! Fortunately I’d started going to the gym back in October so I’d already started to get my fitness up. Now I need to focus on my diet – reducing processed fats and eating a varied diet, avoiding carbs in the evenings and keeping control of my portion sizes.

Healthy food doesn’t have to be tasteless or boring so inspired by my delicious avocado breakfast I decided to look through my pins and find something tasty makes to keep up your motivation to get through January and beyond.

And finally, if you need a chocolate baking fix, these brownies are kind of healthier. I just made a batch and can testify they’re delicious.

    I really like the look of those coconut flour brownies, I need to find some of that stuff for sale and make something similar.

Hi! I'm Becs, one half of a newlywed couple from Leeds. I really love baking and a lot of the things I make are dairy-free since Mr LTT is dairy intolerant. Sometimes I make healthy stuff too. My desert island food would be dim sum!

Lay the table has now been running for 6 whole years! I can't believe it. Read More…
