The key to keeping on plan and on track, for me, is to make and stick to a meal plan. Sure, it can take time, but in the long run it saves so much time. There's nothing worse than coming home from work and having to work out what to have for dinner and how many calories or diet points you have left etc.

I have created a meal plan that is super tasty and easy to follow. This meal plan is mainly calorie based, however this is for guidance only. It is always recommended to check that these meal plans fit in with your specific diet plan.

This meal plan is not affiliated with any diet club.

We were given a complementary stay for the review, but all opinions are honest and my own.

I was born in Devon and grew up here my whole life. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful things we have in the South West. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and filled with a wonderful selection of local producers of food and drink, with loads of incredible restaurants and eateries.

There are so many wonderful places to explore in the South West, but I really feel like I haven't explored far enough into Cornwall and Somerset, and all the amazing foodie things they have on offer.

I have been a judge in the Taste of the West awards twice, so like to think that I know great quality when I see it. The judges are usually assigned to visit places that are relatively local to them, and I have judged some great places in Exeter.

Last year I launched my own review series where I crowned Exeter's Best Breakfast, shortly followed by Devon's Best Roast Dinner. They were very successful and got hundreds of thousands of views on my website and for those featured. The success of these inspired me to launch a new series in 2019 that focuses a little further outside of Devon.

A couple of years ago we visited and reviewed The Bristol Hotel and had a great night away there. I realised how refreshing it is to spend the night away with a loved one, and make the most of all the hotel facilities and location. With Valentine's day fast approaching, I decided to try and find the best venue to enjoy a romantic night away in the South West.

Absolute travel offers some great group holidays and activities to accompany your trips, if you like to do more than just sit and relax on your breaks. But for these reviews, doing as little as possible is part of the charm!

The areas that I will be scoring will each venue will be the Hotel Facilities, The Room, The Food, The Service and the Overall Experience

Trehella House

Trehella House is located near Bodmin and started life as a posting inn. It was converted to a farmhouse in the late nineteenth century, subsequently becoming a private house in the twentieth century.

The elegant Old House and its neighbouring Coach House have since been completely refurbished to provide delightful hotel accommodation for families, couples and business people alike. The splendid Courtroom Suite is a popular choice for a very special break or occasion.

They are Taste of the West Gold winners, and we were lucky enough to be invited to stay in the Courtroom Suite, a fabulous suite of 500 sq ft. A king size bed at the far end of the room and a large lounge area and bathroom.

The room was huge, decorated well and a great place to stay in. It was almost it's own little apartment- all it needed was a kitchen.

Luckily though the hotel has it's own award winning restaurant for us to test out. The restaurant area itself was quite small, and we got to sit in a living room like waiting area before being brought through to the main dining room.

For starter I had a creamy mushroom dish with bread. The bread had some kind of herb in it that was totally overpowering and spoiled the whole flavour of the dish for me. The bread we were given with the meal was sadly the same bread.

My boyfriend had steak for main and it was cook beautifully and melted in the mouth. He really enjoyed it.

I had a chicken breast with creamy mushrooms, broccoli and mash. The mushrooms were exactly the same as the starter I had and the chicken breast was on the bone - which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The chicken was a little dry and I felt the broccoli didn't need to be such a large chunk. The flavour was delicious though/

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Trehella House, and the room was a real highlight. There could have been a few more amenities, such as small snacks like crisps or nuts being available.

I remember the very first time that I was tagged in a photo of a recipe that someone had made of mine. I remember feeling like all my hard work had been worth it, I had written a recipe that someone else followed and liked!

4 years later and I still get that same feeling every time someone sends me a picture of something they have tried. Blogging takes a lot of time and effort, and any small example that the hard work is actually helping others really makes me smile. So if you have ever sent me anything- thank you. I can't even express how appreciated it is!

I thought it would be a good idea to collate some of the images I have received lately, and also share the recipes that inspired them. I also recommend giving the Instagrammers a follow, as clearly they have excellent taste and can take a good foodie photo!

What is Ramen? Ramen is a Japanese dish that consists of noodles served in a meat or fish-based broth and topped off with an egg. I had never actually made this myself, but after seeing so many amazing photos on Instagram, I really wanted to give it a go.

This is a kind of 'cheats' version where I put it in the slow cooker and leave it alone. I saved loads of time by getting a stir fry veg mix as it had all the perfect items for for Ramen. The mushroom stir fry bag had mushrooms, cabbage, red onion and bean sprouts.

I also used some dried noodles, but added them in towards the end to stop them going mushy. The ramen is topped off with a soft boiled egg dropped into the broth. I also added some sweetcorn for some extra colour.

I made this with chicken, but you could switch the stock flavour and meat to have different varieties.

* I was gifted the product for the review by Nanu. All words, thoughts and opinions are honest and my own *

I must admit, a good night's sleep isn't something I can claim to have every night. I find my boyfriend manages to fall asleep within a few minutes of putting his head on the pillow, and I always take so much longer to drift off.

I often wake up early and in the night, and have just kind of got used to it over the years. When I was contacted by Nanu and asked if I wanted to try out one of their pillows to help me get a great night's sleep, I was really interested in seeing if it could actually help me.

Created by a team of sleep specialists, Nanu want to give everyone their perfect night’s sleep. They say that everyone sleeps differently, so their pillows are tailored to suit each person individually and takes their sleeping styles and details about them into account.

They also take every measure possible to make their products as 'green' as they can, so you can sleep safer knowing that you're doing your bit for the environment. They're so confident that the pillow can truly help you that there's also a 30 day money back guarantee.

I was given a code to use on the website, and went through the questions to help build my perfect pillow. They asked how I sleep (front, back or side), how firm I like my pillow, my height as well as my weight. The questions only took a few seconds to complete an the website was easy to navigate.

The delivery was super quick, and within 2 days the pillow had arrived.

It was super plump, lush and comfortable and I really noticed a difference the second I set my head down. I have never really invested in a proper pillow before, always opting for the cheap options. Having it under my head for just a few seconds, I could really feel the difference in quality.

It's so much more comfortable then any other pillow I have slept on, and I finee that I can also lay on my back and watch TV with my head on the pillow comfortably. Previously I would have had to stack extra cushions and things under myself.

One thing I really noticed since using the Nanu pillow is that I find it so much easier to fall asleep, and once I am sleeping I rarely wake up. I really didn't think that it would be possible for a pillow to make such a difference, but it really did.

It is just the right balance of soft and firm, and supports me really well. I have been getting neck and back problems on and off for the last few months, but ever since using the new pillow, *touch wood* I have been fine.

My boyfriend is very jealous of my 'posh pillow' and wants one for himself! Check out the Nanu website for more info.
