Last weekend I sprained my ankle at a festival. Wellies & mud & drinks that certainly weren’t green juices = Twist and Shout!

So instead of feeling sorry for myself because I have to stay away from Frame for at least two whole weeks (booooh!) I have made it my mission to heal at lightning speed.

It’s all healthy food and lots of greens this side of the screen but naturally I also need a bit of comfort food.

I found this recipe the other day and since I’m on a porridge-roll anyway I instantly to give it a try. Good thing I did because it’s yummy, nourishing and can even turn the rainiest of days into a happy one.
