salmon niçoise and caprese cous cous: dining al fresco with homesense.

I've hope you've been enjoying the long Bank Holiday weekend! Has the British Summer finally begun? Whether you're planning the first BBQ of the season or are dusting off that picnic basket, I've teamed up with HomeSense to bring you some al fresco inspiration. In case you aren't familiar, HomeSense pride themselves on beautiful homeware without the hefty pricetag. Part of the TK Maxx family, HomeSense offer everything from cookware and baking essentials, to pretty cushions and quirky decorative finds. As a foodie I of course always make a beeline for the kitchenware aisle, discovering some lovely pieces from their latest Al Fresco dining range. 

king prawn, asparagus and broccoli pasta.

A simple and light recipe for a sunny evening. This week was the first time we ate outside in the garden, where we enjoyed this king prawn, asparagus and broccoli pasta dish. Made with wholemeal fusilli and a zesty chilli, lemon and garlic sauce, it was the perfect healthy recipe to start the Spring. Plus asparagus is finally coming into season - yay!
