We love Cottage Pie but get tired of the long time it takes to put together sometimes or the lack of ingredients we have available, so to make it easy we are sharing our super quick, ingredients in the cupboard, recipe. These were made before work in 30 minutes, ready to heat and eat when we get home tonight. Great for the fussy eaters who pick out all the vegetables. If you have more time you can blend veg in to 'hide' in the sauce.

Our Pick of the Day today has got to be Lucy's Dressings. For the 'Great Golden' alone Lucy wins hands down - and her other taste creations will have your tastebuds in a jive in no time too. Lucy's Dressings were inspired in a rather busy family kitchen, using Lucy's own unique recipes. Having handpicked the finest quality ingredients, the dressings have been lovingly created to dress, marinate or roast delicious local produce.
If, like us, you get stuck with the same meals over and again through lack of time or imagination then hopefully this easy recipe will help you out. Having never tried making tacos we cheated slightly and popped along to our local Waitrose for an Old El Paso Taco Kit - and added it to the great ingredients we already had, as an alternative choice for minced beef.
Being on a FODMAP diet is no fun - not even at this year's Allergy & FreeFrom Show, Olympia, where a vast amount of the food either contained soya, coconut or dates. So, as I walked around with a very rumbling tum, while my wonderful food editor, Sarah, sampled all the delights on offer, I can assure you it was with great personal delight that I stopped at the Soft Sage stand.
Our yoga teacher is always extolling the virtues of the standing desk. Not a session goes by without a reference to the benefits of not spending the day sitting crooked on a chair - but simply standing to work without effort or strain. But could a standing desk really be the answer for many office workers? Nick Scott White, MD of iwantastandingdesk.com was able to demonstrate to us exactly how the standing desk could help when we met at the Back Pain show, Olympia.
