Love Food Hate Waste- This week I?ve been sharing some of my favourite veggie recipes for National Vegetarian Week. On the search for veggie dishes I visited the Love Food Hate Waste website which is packed full of handy ways to prevent food and drink waste with top tips and fantastic recipes that use up food you might have otherwise thrown away.
As someone who really enjoys food I?m conscious about trying to get the most out of my groceries so LFHW?s website is perfect for me. I like the recipe search tool which uses categories according to the ingredients you have and the type of meal you want to make- a quick breakfast, light lunch or a vegetarian evening meal etc?

You?ll discover a huge variety of beautiful dishes which can be made out of pantry essentials and leftover, helping you save money and use all the delicious ingredients that you bought at the supermarket/grocers.
Also check out LFHW?s tips on ways to make sure you don?t over stock your fridge and how to control the amount of food you?re cooking. I?ve found the ?Perfect Portions? tool really helpful for ingredients such as pasta and rice- I always make more than I need.
Royal Horticultural Society- This week Royal Horticultural Society have been busy hosting the annual Chelsea Flower Show and it?s fair to say that they chose the perfect week as the sun hasn?t stopped shining.
I wrote a blog earlier in the week about my favourite gardens featured at this year?s show and since the RHS have handed out awards to their favourite gardens and gardeners. You can view all of the winners and nominee at the Chelsea Flower Show 2012 section of RHS website along with a host of photographs of the gardens and video footage from this year?s event.

Whilst at www.rhs.org.uk ?I also had a nosey around the site?s gardening section which has lots of information about how to tend your garden during the summer months. Including how to maintain a grow your own veggie patch, which is handy to read if your currently growing your own veggie, fruit and herbs like me.
This weekend is set to be a scorcher so why not try and get your grandchildren to help you around the garden. If they aren?t convinced read RHS?s top tips on gardening for the whole family where you?ll find fun garden tips aimed at children, but don?t forget the sunscreen.
Olympic Torch Relay- As I?m sure you already know the Olympic Torch Relay began its tour of the UK last weekend. The torch has already travelled from Land?s End to Worcester and is now en route to Cardiff before it tours Wales.
Throughout it?s week- long journey various famous people from the world of sport have carried the flame including Darren Campbell, Sharon Davies, Zara Phillips and Didier Drogba. Along with these sports personality?s people from local communities have also had the opportunity to carry the flame, which was saluted by two elephants at West midlands Safari Park yesterday.
BBC Olympic Torch Relay
As the torch travels most people want to keep track of its whereabouts, including me. I?ve been tracking the torch via BBC News who has created a fantastic Torch Relay landing page that gives up to date coverage of the relay.
From here you can view a live video stream or read up to date reports of what?s happening on the relay. The page also includes an interactive map with the route highlighted and estimated times of arrival, plus pictures from the relay so far. A great resource which I?m sure I?ll be glued to next week when the torch arrived in Staffordshire.
