Burgers to write home about at TGI Fridays American Restaurant, Prestwich!

Image
TGI Friday's, Prestwich TGI Friday's American Restaurant Valley Park Road Prestwich Manchester M25 3AJ t: 0344 692 0261 w: TGI Friday's   A completely different experience from our last restaurant review on La Capannina, Bury , and sure I know TGI's are a chain brand, but the end result was exactly the same: Pure Satisfaction! In fact even now, the day after the meal, my stomach is begging me, no imploring me, to return straightaway for another dose of irresistible American fayre! Whenever we arrive at TGI Friday's, we always know that succulent, delicious, mouth watering meat is not too long away! This visit proved to be exactly that! Upon entry, the sweet but naughty aroma of god-given food hung in the air, causing my mouth to begin salivating!  Even now, my stomach implores me to return... We were shown to our table by the helpful maitre d', who ensured we were happy with our seats, and explained who would be looking a

Is a Le Creuset Signature Saucepan Really Worth it?

Image
Having recently purchased a new house, my wife and I were seriously considering which cook-ware to buy. Of course as food lovers we really wanted to buy the best- Le Creuset. However, when perusing the internet, the price of the Le Creuset Signature range seemed restrictive. We decided to look into it! However, it only took us a couple of minutes to realise there was only one brand for us... and that was the Le Creuset Signature Range. There was only one brand for us... Le Creuset... Remember our posts on  Tasty Beefburgers  and  Naughty Pasta ? Well those glorious  recipes  were created using the Le Creuset Signature Range Cookware! I know you will be thinking "why should I pay such a horrendous amount of money for a mere pan?" You're right to think that, but the Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Casserole Pan has so many advantages over its rivals! Well, where to begin with the Le Creuset Signature Casserole Range? They truly stand the test of

Naughty Pasta!

Naughty Pasta- your reward, you deserve this... Welcome to the latest recipe post from Health, Fitness, Motivation. You remember our recipes for  Tasty Beefburgers ? Well, we're sure this will sit alongside in terms of taste and energising capability! As the early summer heat shone down unforgivingly, I mopped my sun beaten brow with my work-worn t-shirt. Ice cool water gushed into my eager mouth. Removing the glass, I sighed, surveying a job well done. The time for toil had passed. Satisfaction with my day's graft was now coupled with the realisation that my wife's Naughty Pasta was on the menu! Naughty Pasta: Ingredients   200g of penne pasta 50g of Parma ham 150g of chestnut mushrooms, quartered 100g of yoghurt 50g of double cream 25g of Parmesan cheese Flora Cuisine Salt and pepper to taste Method: Firstly, boil the 200g of penne pasta until firm to the bite, or to the packet information, then drain.

La Capannina Italian Restaurant, Bury

Image
La Capannina Italian Restaurant, Sunnybank, Bury, Greater Manchester t:- 0161-766-4027 w:-  La Capinnina After suffering well publicised heart ache in recent times, this Italian staple seems to be back to full strength. On a balmy Spring day, the hubbub of busy mouths permeated my eager ears as I opened the heavy glass doors, and entered this Italian oasis of food heaven. La Capinnina has been my 'go-to' Italian Restaurant for some years now, and certainly did not disappoint. Greeted as always with customary, yet not overbearing, Italian flair, I was shown to be table and eagerly perused the well stocked menu. My Funghi di Bosco (Pan fried Mushrooms with tomatoes, chilli and garlic) arrived swiftly, igniting my taste buds with a great depth of flavour, complimented by the refreshing tingle of chilli which teased but didn't overpower my palate. Despite the fact the kitchen were wrestling with a busy Mother's Day serving, the food arrived piping hot

The Top Five Superfoods...

Image
 Tea, ginger, salmon... all claim to be superfoods, and I'll be honest, before I wrote this post, I knew superfoods were obviously good for you, but I just didn't know exactly what they were! I am so glad I took the time to research them... I have fitted them into my diet and I feel great as a result! What are Superfoods? Simply put there is not one official definition of a 'superfood', but we say that they are anything that contain high levels of nutrients and have health benefits far beyond 'common foods'. 5. Tea ... four cups of tea per day will keep your heart healthy... Ah... the Great British staple. Research has shown that four cups of this superfood, or super drink, per day, will keep your heart healthy. So not only will you be alert after your morning cuppa, you will be safe in the knowledge that your ticker is in great shape too! As if that wasn't good enough, tea can help to prevent the hardening of your arteries.

So you want to start running...

I can't count the amount of times people have either said- you're mad running all the time, or, I wish I could just run, but it hurts soooooo much! My stock answer is, I might be a little mad, but believe it or not, I actually ENJOY running! Why else would I do it? The answer to the second statement is, yes, it hurts a little at first, but stick with it and you won't regret it! These  top tip s  will help getting into running that bit easier! 1). Little and Often.  I remember the days when I was a little fat pudding. Having been fit at school, I decided enough was enough. I strapped my trainers on, drew a line under my old ways, and headed out into the freezing cold night. I'll never forget that day as long as I live. I was determined to do this properly, so at first I simply went round the block. I hadn't gone far, but the feeling of achievement was incredible. The next day I went slightly further, then slightly further again. Sure enough, with a gradual b
