Come Dine with Me – The Ballymena Today Menu

Come Dine with Me – The Ballymena Today Menu

Posted by | Oct 8, 2015 |

Last week we at Ballymena Today retweeted an advert asking Ballymena people to apply for popular television programme Come Dine with Me. So the combination of our favourite town and one of our favourite tv shows is very tempting, but our cooking skills might not be up to scratch – so instead of applying we have created our fantasy menu which we would make if we were on Come Dine with Me. STARTER Toasted Ballymena Bun with Goats Cheese and Kale Crisps. The Ballymena Bun is a traditional round loaf which is delicious with some butter and jam. For our...

Ballymena Today – Alternative Mother’s Day Gifts

Posted by | Mar 13, 2015 |

Earlier here at Ballymena Today we shared our ideas for Mother’s Day Gifts which can by bought here in Ballymena. Supporting local Ballymena businesses is something that we are really excited about but we know that not all mums are the same so we wanted to share some alternative gifts which you can still snap up locally before Sunday. 1/ Gal Groom Voucher – This is specifically for any mother who is a total dog lover! If your mum loves her doggy and they are as much a member of the family as you are then think outside of the box and give them a voucher which will treat her and her favourite pooch to a bit of pampering. 2/ Treat her to some time together. Clear an afternoon and take your mum out for a bug mug of tea and a yummy dessert. Take her somewhere that she normally wouldn’t go like the Creamery Can at Glarryford. Make the day all about her and enjoy spending time together. 3/ Head to Slemish Market Garden in Saturday morning – be early – and pick up all you need to whip up a beautiful Sunday dinner. Organic and locally grown it is the perfect way to show your mum that you love her. Forget rushing your mum on Sunday morning with a badly organised breakfast in bed – go the...

Here at Ballymena Today we love food and the latest craze is clean eating. We reckon lots of Ballymena folks have made a New Years Resolution to eat more healthily and that is why now is a good time to investigate the Clean eating trend. Thankfully Clean Eating isn’t a diet – we are not fans of cutting things out of our meals. Clean Eating is actually a very simple concept – it is all about eating food which is as close to it’s natural state as possible. Avoid things which have been processed and refined foods in exchange for well prepared, healthily cooked food. So it does sound simple when it is explained like that but how easy is it to eat clean in real life. Here are some tips from Clean Eating Magazine which should help you make your meals healthier: Drink two litres of water each day. Eat three good meals each day and snack on fruit and vegetables in between. Read the label. Look out for foods with one or two ingredients on the list. The shorter the ingredient list the better. At first this seems like a bit of an impossible task but once you find products that you like your shopping will be much easier. Keep away from bad fats. Avoid any food which has been deep fat fried or is high in trans-fats. Also keep...
