How to Make Your Own Tortilla Chips

Recently I discovered how to make own tortilla chips. I love it when I discover things that are super easy to make. I would like to think of myself as some kind of budding Nigella, baking and making delicious home cooked meals from scratch, but in fact I’m just far too lazy. Plus I can’t

So April was a little stressy. I had a lot on, and I neglected to do that thing that I used to call “looking after yourself” but these days we call “self care”. I actually quite like the term “self care”. Looking after yourself sounds a little bit “Hey, it’s all about ME, ME, ME”.
