BBQ or picnic? That’s another hard choice because both have such different pros! ☀️🥗🍔

I think I’d choose a BBQ as I can enjoy sone of my favourite foods. There’s just something about the smell of burgers and chicken on the grill and those long summer evenings. The best bit is you can have an absolutely gorgeous Slimming World-friendly BBQ without feeling like you’re missing out on anything.

Homemade burgers with 5% mince, onion and herbs in a Healthy Extra Fibre wholemeal roll, juicy chicken legs, jacket potatoes, crispy salad, homemade dips with crunchy crudités, honestly it sounds like a proper feast rather than a “diet”. Followed by a fruit salad or strawberries with fat free Greek yoghurt and Slimming World Pimm’s sounds like summer in a bowl! 🥰

There’s something really nostalgic about a picnic too. The kind your mum packed always tastes the best somehow with homemade sandwiches, cold meats, boiled eggs, salad, maybe a little treat tucked in there too. Eating outside on a blanket just makes everything taste better!

The lovely thing with Slimming World is you genuinely don’t have to choose between enjoying yourself and staying on plan. BBQs, picnics, holidays, meals out, you can still enjoy all your favourite foods and make amazing memories while losing weight.

If you want to find out more about how I lost 6 1/2 stone eating my favourite foods, get in touch or come along one Thursday .

So what about everyone else?

2 years ago tonight - did you see this fabulous show of Aurora? I follow a few aurora fan groups and I just saw one say - get outside now! Do not miss this! So I dashed into the garden and it was amazing - it was all around us 🥰

I’d wanted to see the Northern Lights most of my life and it was absolutely amazing that night 🥰

I think it genuinely does! Food outdoors seems to hit differently for a few reasons.

Fresh air and cooler temperatures can sharpen your senses and stimulate appetite, so flavours feel more intense. Your brain also links certain foods with certain places, fish and chips by the sea, ice cream on holiday, burgers at a barbecue, so the whole experience becomes part of the taste.

There’s also the mood factor. When you’re relaxed, on a walk, at the beach, in a beer garden, or sat in the sunshine, your brain releases more “feel good” chemicals, and that can make food seem more satisfying. Even simple food suddenly feels elite outdoors. A bacon sandwich on a camping chair somehow tastes Michelin-starred.

And seaside fish and chips is almost scientifically unbeatable:

* salty sea air
* sound of waves
* gulls causing chaos
* vinegar smell mixing with fresh air
* the slight risk of losing a chip to a seagull

All part of the flavour experience 😂

It’s a bit like how tea tastes better in a mug you like, or toast tastes better cut diagonally. The surroundings absolutely matter.

Today has been one of those really satisfying food days where every meal felt tasty, filling and comforting without feeling like I was missing out on anything ✨

Breakfast was a toasted bagel topped with ham, egg and juicy tomatoes — warm, savoury and the kind of breakfast that keeps you going all morning.

Lunch was a classic cheese jacket potato, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, with a generous cheesy topping that really hit the spot. Proper comfort food! 🥔🧀

Dinner was a gorgeous salmon tray bake packed with flavour, alongside plenty of Free and Speed vegetables to make the plate colourful, fresh and super satisfying. I love meals like this because they feel healthy, balanced and hearty all at the same time 🥦🥕🐟

Days like today are such a good reminder that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean boring salads or tiny portions. You can enjoy proper meals, feel full, and still stay on track 💕
