Food and Lifestyle

For many people, including us, there is an intrinsic connection between food and lifestyle. Therefore, it makes to have a lifestyle category on our website. The food and lifestyle category has three subcategories; family life, gardening, and healthy eating.

In the family life section of the food and lifestyle category of The Fruity Tart, you will find articles that connect food and family. Some articles are personal accounts by Liz Flynn, who is a mum of four. Other pieces provide tips for getting children involved in cooking, along with advice for introducing new foods.

The focus of the gardening subcategory is growing fruit and vegetables to use in your cooking. Again, this section includes personal accounts from Liz Flynn, who enjoys trying to grow vegetables to create meals for her family. Additionally, there are tips for growing your own vegetables and how to use them.

Finally, in the healthy eating section, there are various informative articles about how to eat a healthy diet. These include information about how to include all the nutrients you need in your diet. For example, there are pages with information about each of the vitamins and minerals.

Hopefully, there is a diverse range of informative articles that cover many aspects of food and lifestyle. We hope that you enjoy reading our pages, and would love to hear your feedback. Feel free to add comments or to tell us about your experiences in the comments section below each article. Your comments may give other readers additional tips.
