You know that 3pm thing that turns a sane person with a will power of steel into a jibbering wreck clawing at the biscuit tin? Yeah right, me too. Warming Winter Fruit Salad is just the ticket !
In a perfect world a sweet juicy apple would be enough to counteract those afternoon lulls but alas, for me, they don’t. So, at precisely 2.47pm today I decided to pimp my fruit bowl and see if I could cheat my toast & Marmite cravings with a plate of warming winter fruit salad. So far (4.24pm) all is well in the world. The bread bin is safe.

Look at the colours in that salad! So pretty, I love it!!
Jane Sarchet says
And happily it tastes as good as it looks (which often isn’t the way for some biscuits & baked goods, don’t you think?)

This sounds (and looks) so delicious! The sugar beast usually hits me around 3pm so I totally get what you mean! I’m always looking for a snack in the afternoon.
Jane Sarchet says
It’s a weird time of day isn’t Tammy? Weirdly, cravings in the morning are so much easier to ignore!
