Hangout with Marco Pierre White

This last Tuesday I was one of the lucky bloggers chosen by Britmums to take part in a hangout with one of the greatest chefs of our times - Marco Pierre White.

I felt exactly like before a date: excited and emotional.
I know it's silly but it was my the first time I had an online "date" with a celebrity.
Plus is someone I respect a lot for the healthy approach to cooking.

So of course the G+ Hangout was about healthy eating and highlighting Marco's favourite summer turkey recipes.
Me and my fellow bloggers asked Marco questions and advice on how to cook turkey to its best.

Turkey is naturally low in fat so if you want to lose weight you need to check out Leon on turkey website where you can find lots of ideas from Marco and fellow food bloggers too.

You can also check the YouTube video below:

I will definitely try some of the ideas and maybe even invent our own turkey recipe,
So you eat turkey during the summer?
And if you do what's your favourite recipe?

In my dreams....

In my dreams I am beautiful and slim how I used to be when I was in my early twenties. In my dreams I have long blond hair like I use to have when I met my hubby. In my dreams I have no cellulite and I wear only beautiful clothes. And I'm not ashamed to wear a short skirt as my veins are not yet on show.
In reality I feel like a grumpy old lady although I shouldn't as I'm only 32 years old.
In reality I'm overweight with cellulite and veins on show. Plus at the moment I can't even walk properly.
However when I see beautiful clothes like the ones from the thakoon addition collection I wish I was looking as I use to in my twenties. To be slim and look just right in those clothes.
I know that I am the only one that can truly change the way I am but for now all I can do is dream.
And here is what I dream off:

For me these are dream clothes. Clothes I will probably never get to wear. Not because I will not be able to afford but because at the moment I would just not look great in them.
Years ago I use to wear clothes that were showing a little bit more skin. These days I'm looking for clothes that cover as much skin as possible. My hubby even complains about it.
How about you? Do you dream about clothes or you are one of the lucky ones that can wear anything she wants?
Maybe I should just change my attitude and dress for my age and shape. If i just knew how to make myself look good and sexy with the shape I have now....
