Becky's Brutally Honest Munchie Musings!

[AbFab]

Hi everyone!

I've decided to start a food diary for a few reasons:

I think it's a great way of being accountable and actually keeping track of what I'm putting in my gob!

I'm a committed foodie who loves to cook so I create a lot of really tasty and flavorsome SW friendly dishes that aren't in any of the recipe books and I'm happy to share them with people!

I'm keen to have a record of what I eat on really successful weeks so I can see what I was doing!

Thanks for reading!
Rebecca xx
