Helbel’s Weblog

 About me…

Hello, my name is Helen  and I live in lincolnshire, the facts are as follows……

1) I am 33 , ( but I’m in denial, I don’t feel it!) have 3 kids , 1 partner, and a loopy chocolate lab called Megan,

2) I am an artist and have been painting professionally for 12 years, I love to paint food and have a whole website devoted to it!

3) I can’t spell, at all. So I think spell check is geneuios ! (I’m leaving that one in, just for you…)

4) I have been cooking out of necessity since leaving home but in the last year I have found a real love for it, I think its super relaxing , I like the process of it, and if it gets me out of doing the ironing I’m happy…

5) I am trying to learn Greek, I went to kefalonia (a small  island, off Greece) last year and now am sure it is actually heaven. Were all going again in June and one day I’d like to live there

6) I’m quite good at making cakes

7) My favourite cook book is How To Be A Domestic Goddess, Nigella rocks. I love the way she’s not afraid of showing how much she love’s her food and still has tones of  sex appeal!

I used to go to the gym every day (even on weekends) but I got bored after about a year. So now I am looking for another way to eat what I like and still get into my jeans, any suggestions?

9) I was a blond, now I’m a brunette but I am always changing it

10) My favorite non cook book is called The Hundred Secret Sences by Amy Tan. Its a vivid fairytale-like story of  having faith in the one’s you love, ahhhh…

11) I’m loving Nettle tea and miso soup at the moment, no I’m not Gillian McKeith! she’s a bit bossy

I would love to hear about you, who are you?…
