2. She Hikes

Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “A rigorous hike may offer many of the same physical benefits as interval training, which alternates low- and high-intensity exercise to increase cardiovascular fitness. During a hike, your heart rate goes up as you move up an incline and drops when you head downhill.”

I was blown away. Something so simple, so cheap.. SO delicious!😋 Anyway, I wrote the recipe down almost immediately and since .. it’s become a favourite when we’re in need of comfort food. If you fancy trying it, send me a message and I can send you my scribbles x”
