Just got back from the supermarket, and, as usual, I ended up throwing any amount of guilty pleasure treats into the trolley! I tried hard to be good, but the lure of carbs and sugar proved as irresistible as ever.

I did buy the ingredients for Nigella Lawson’s brilliant minestrone in minutes from Nigella Express as I have a friend coming for lunch and no time to cook.

You basically throw chicken or veg stock into a tomato-based pasta sauce and add a can of beans (I opt for cannellini) and some soup pasta. It feels healthy and tastes amazing.

In addition to my favourite mini iced fingers, I spotted some new Maryland cookies to try. They have a hazelnutty chocolate goo in the middle and are very moreish indeed.

Maryland Gooeys biscuits. They re most definately moreish

I may take one upstairs to finish Girl, Gone by Gillian Flynn, which is proving to be very addictive as it rattles towards the conclusion!
