Over the years my version of Spaghetti Bolognaise took on a life of its own as I threw in every Italian sounding ingredient that I had in the pantry. I’m not saying that it didn't taste good, it’s just that it wasn’t the real deal and it would probably have Italians everywhere scratching their heads.

So I decided to bring the recipe back to its original form.

Read MoreEvery so often my children’s school have little get together for fundraising and everyone is asked to bring a little something. As much as I love the odd queen cake, I try to stay true to my cause and practice healthy eating. So I throw together these delicious Mixed Seeds and Granola Bars.
