  1. The hardest thing I’ll ever share! Because yes I am embarrassed, sad and angry that I let myself get to this level of self hatred, sadness, anger and size! Totally abusing my body with food, constantly punishing myself for being unhealthy by being even worse!! It’s a vicious cycle and so many can resonate with that! Yes I took a different route for weight loss one which many don’t agree with, but it wasn’t for lack of trying it all, and mentally I just couldn’t do it any longer. So after alot of agonising over this decision I decided to do it! After some research and consultation with @getsliminturkey I finally changed my life! And it’s the best decision I have ever made! I’m so grateful for every single day and every day of feeling so much better. And I appreciate everything so much, I’ve always been blessed with what I have I just didn’t see it for a while! “Once you start appreciating life, that’s when you realise how much you truly have to live for” Whilst I always loved being active I now absolutely love it!! Yes I hiked mountains the size I was last year, I never gave up, I used to be 76 shades of purple in the face for gasping 🤣 but I never gave up, I am actually proud of that! But perhaps maybe trying to prove something to others, whereas now I’m only trying to prove things to myself! 🤍 This isn’t a post looking for compliments, this is a post to every single person who struggles with their weight/fitness/confidence that you can take control, you can change things for yourself. You’re worth putting the effort in, you’re worth the work, you’re worth keeping yourself healthy for a long time! “True wealth is having your health and knowledge of self” Benjamin Franklin #lifechanging #healthier #weightloss #buildingconfidence #gastricsleeve #bariatricsurgery #getsliminturkey #fitter #stronger #lovinglife #appreciation

  1. ✨Chicken Casserole✨ Sometimes you just need a comforting, one-pan dinner that makes the whole house smell amazing. This chicken casserole is rustic, simple, and loaded with tender chicken, hearty veggies, and a silky sauce infused with wine and herbs. Perfect for a Sunday dinner or when you want leftovers that taste even better the next day. ⸻ Ingredients • 4 chicken breasts • 3 carrots chopped • 2 celery stalks • 1 large onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced • 2 tbsp plain flour • 250 ml white wine • 500 ml chicken stock • 1 tsp dried thyme •. 1 tsp parsley • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter • Salt & black pepper, to taste ⸻ Instructions 1. Brown the chicken – Heat the olive oil or butter in a heavy casserole dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear until lightly golden. Remove and set aside. 2. Soften the veggies – In the same pan, sauté the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften. 3. Make the base – Sprinkle over the flour and stir well. Pour in the wine, letting it bubble for a minute as you scrape up all the tasty browned bits. 4. Add stock & herbs – Stir in the chicken stock, thyme, and return the chicken to the dish. Add on potatoes. Bring to a simmer. 5. Slow cook – Cover and cook gently on the stovetop for 35–40 minutes until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through. 6. Finish & serve – Adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed. ⸻ Serve hot with crusty bread to mop up the sauce. #chickencasserole #onepotmeals #easydinnerideas #weeknightdinner #sundaydinner #slowcookedgoodness #foodinspo #recipeoftheday #cookwithme #foodphotography #foodstagram #comfortfood #autumnfood #corkcity

  3. ✨Traditional Cheesecake Buns ✨ A real taste of home, these old-fashioned cheesecake buns are the kind you’d spot in any good Irish bakery. Crisp shortcrust pastry, a spoon of jam, and a light vanilla sponge baked on top — simple, sweet, and comforting. There’s no cheesecake in them at all, just that familiar flavour we all grew up with. Best enjoyed with a cuppa, still warm from the oven. Save to try 💌 Ingredients For the base: • 1 sheet ready-made shortcrust pastry @tescoirl For the filling: • 6–8 tsp Raspberry Jam @follainirishpreserves (about ½–1 tsp per bun) For the sponge topping: • 100g unsalted butter, softened • 100g caster sugar • 2 eggs • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 100g self-raising flour • 1–2 tbsp milk (as needed for a dropping consistency) ⸻ 🧁 Instructions 1. Preheat & prepare: Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) 2. Line the tins: Roll out the shortcrust pastry. Cut out 12 circles about 9–10 cm wide and gently press into each muffin hole to form neat pastry cases. Chill in the fridge while making the sponge. 3. Add the jam: Place ½–1 teaspoon of jam in the base of each pastry case. Don’t overfill — the jam will bubble up as it bakes. 4. Make the sponge topping: In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Fold in the self-raising flour until smooth. Add a little milk if the batter feels thick — it should drop easily from a spoon. 5. Top the buns: Spoon a generous dollop of sponge mixture on top of each jam-filled pastry case, just enough to cover the jam completely. 6. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the sponge tops are golden and spring back when lightly touched. 7. Cool & finish: Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Mix together icing sugar & milk (or water) until thick consistency. Spread on top of each bun. ⸻ #cheesecakebuns #baking #irishbaking #ireland #irishfoodie #traditional #corkcity #buns #recipeideas #irishmammy #sweet #treat #ireland☘️

  1. ⚡️❤️🐶 Daffodil “Daffo” McElwain Byrne ❤️ Feb/March 2012 to December 8 2022 🐶❤️⚡️ Thank you so much for all the lovely, kind messages and pawsitive vibes sent to myself, @niallofthenines and Daffo in the last few days. From the first moment Niall and I were handed Daffo @dspcashelter in April 2012, she had a special spark which seemed to burst out of her little body. Naughty, sweet, gas, obsessed with Kong balls, startlingly and inappropriately mean to other dogs, 💯 the Alpha at all times and fiercely loyal to her people, her decade of life was very Big for such a little doggeen. That tremendous spark of hers showed signs of dimming this November, and after a short illness she was diagnosed with a rare adrenal cancer. My heart hasn’t quite caught up with my head in understanding that I won’t see her silly little face again. I am sad but I am also so grateful that, with the help of the amazing team at our local vets here in Clifden @westernvetsclifden I was able to put a stop to her suffering and send her off to the big beach in the sky surrounded with love. I am grateful Niall and I gave this little doggeen such a great life, and grateful that I got to have such a great little pal for so long. I heard my hero @dollyparton say in an interview once that when you have a big heart, you hurt big too. For me, it’s the connection we have with people, pets, and places that make life worth living. Even if it meant my big heart might break a little less, I would never take back any of the love I’ve given out to the world. It’s worth it. Thank you Daffo for being my constant companion in a time of great change and for teaching me that a great way to approach life is to be the person your dog thinks you are. Sleep well, sweet friend xxx until we meet again xxx

  2. I love these photos that @cliodhnaprendergast took of me for The Sunday Times, because she captured how I feel at the moment - so well, happy and free. One reason for that is because I came out to myself, my family and my friends in the last year. I am queer and I am finally proud of it. This is something I kept hidden from myself for twenty years. Even though I would consider myself an lgbtq+ ally, and have seen the beautiful support my family have given my gorgeous trans sister, I think I had internalised so much homophobia growing up in the 80s and 90s that on some deep level it just felt too risky to me to answer the whisper of my queerness. I already felt a little too different as a young teen (I was weird! I still am, but now I understand that it’s one of my strengths) where homophobia was rife. Everywhere, every day. I chose to hide a big part of myself to fit in. Now it’s as if I’m stepping into the full possibility of my life. As I explained it to a new friend, I feel as if I’ve turned my face towards the sun and I am starting to feel its goodness. It is important to me to share this with you because it’s #pridemonth. I feel an even deeper respect than ever for the legendary queer people who have come before me and have made my coming out - overdue as it was - so much easier than it was for them. Thank you. I also strongly believe that shame and secrets are among the most damaging and toxic experiences we humans create for ourselves and for others. Life is so short, and shame burdens it with a heaviness that makes us miss out on so much beauty. I want to dismantle this part of my shame by stepping into the sun. Even if you’re not a beautiful queer person - maybe you’re a gorgeous straight person - you can celebrate #Pride by stepping into the fullness of who you are as a person. Be proud of who you are and of all the strength, learning, love and grit it has taken you to get to where you are today. By doing so, you honour the courage of the people who have gone before you. It feels really good here in the sun ☀️

  3. Nora Ephron once wrote “never marry someone you wouldn’t want to be divorced from” and boy, did I hit the jackpot with Niall. We met 17 years ago. We got married 9 and a half years ago. We separated 4 and a half years ago. On 26 June, we met for a coffee and a stress pastry at Proper Order Coffee for our final team meeting as (technically) husband and wife. At 12 noon, we went into court together, wishing each other luck, without solicitors as this was a DIY Divorce. Possible for us because we had no shared assets, no kids, no complications. With a few words from Niall, a “yes” from me, a confirmation of paperwork and a little sprinkle of legalese from the judge, eleven minutes (and 18 months of paperwork) later, we were divorced. The relief! You can see it in our faces in the pic we took after leaving the courthouse. It was finally time to celebrate. We met Niall’s girlfriend, Katie, and my girlfriend, Anstice, for lunch at Assassination Custard, a place that feels as special and unique as my wonderful relationship with Niall. There is no other place in the world like this tiny restaurant serving tiny plates of sensational, special, love-filled food, and there is no other marriage like myself and Niall’s. Over plates of labneh and pickled veg, and tripe and chorizo, and watermelon and fermented lime, and veal with fenugreek, and a summer berry pie, we toasted to our happiness and a lifelong friendship between the four of us. It was a great day out. Here are three key things I’ve learned in the process of getting divorced: • It is quite easy to get married in Ireland but it is *not* easy to get divorced. • When you are hurt, raw, and grieving, space and time are key for healing. • Just because something ends, it doesn’t mean it’s a failure. Every part of my marriage and divorce with Niall has been a success. It has been filled with care, love, and respect. I love this man, and I love that we let each other go. I look at Niall now with his gorgeous partner, Katie, and their beautiful baby boy, Naoise, and I couldn’t feel more successful. I think about my life ahead with Anstice and I feel so grateful for it all. Thank you Nialler 🩷
