Michel said in a radio 5 live interview that you don’t need a protein in every meal. That is how I see things but you need someone of Michels reputation to nail this home. Relates to meat feast: is it time to change the way we eat meat? come to the table describes meal times in france.…

What to do when you feel lazy and don’t feel like cooking a complicated recipe? Usually I go for something simple like grilled or fried. Vegetables are really easy and fast to fry or grill, and if you have some steaks or fillets everything will be done in 20…

We just got a new soup maker. So as you can imagine I’ve been looking for reasons to use it. The dream is gorgeous soups with hardly any effort. The soup maker should do most of the work. Ingredients Parsnips Carrots 1 onion Stock Creme fraiche Seasoning Instructions prepare veg and place in soup…
Cooking should be easy. Atleast if you’re going to do it when you’re busy. I was stuck in that place with some blue cheese that needed eating up but no idea what to have it with. So a friend of mine suggested I make a quiche. I said I have pastry but its frozen. He…
Part of making food fun is banishing hunger. When I’m celebrating, say at Christmas, I want to eat what I want. No restrictions. Then after in the new year and other times I still want to enjoy food but eat less of it and restore the balance to my weight. Sounds simple but, if you’ve…
The title of this blog is a give away. It’s about having fun. Here’s a post I wrote a while ago that describes part of the journey I’ve taken to put having fun at the forefront of a successful life. This is becoming more and more relevant in my life as I see the effects…
I’m just going through my other blog. Just seeing the things I used to write and think. It’s fun because I’m finding things that still make me think and reflect. An essence of this life as play blog is about making life feel easy. Making the journey comfortable. To do that I advocate working smarter…
It seems worthwhile pointing out a post I made on my original blog a couple of years ago. The I explained how you could easily lose over half a stone a year by being a bit more active than you already are. I just wanted to show that weight loss doesn’t always have to be…

Another way of making meals full of taste but simple to make is to mix cooking methods. I’m being very liberally in my use of the term cooking method. Tonight I used a roasted chicken breast that i’d frozen a few weeks ago from a freshly roasted chicken i’d bought from the supermarket. Rather than…
This blog is about bringing fun into life as much as possible. Exploring the ways you can do this is. In itself. Part of the fun and part of the journey. I found a whole new way of making food fun when I watched a bunch of cooking shows and realised that a meal is…
So here I am with a new blog. Quite excited really. I’ve been keeping my original blog http://colchambers.blogspot.com/ for a few years now and really enjoyed it. That’s for my general stuff though. With this blog I want to explore ways of making life simpler and more fun. The journey I’ve taken in life has been…
