Midweek Meal InspirationCould the Instant Goddess quest for the perfect fishcake be over?! My regulars will know that we do LOVE a fishcake in the Instant Goddess household… and with a chunk of cheese in the middle this really is happiness on a plate. Full recipe here courtesy of those domestic goddesses at Woman & Home. P.S. You can freeze these fishcakes too and if you can’t find smoked haddock just substitute any white fish you can lay your hands on.

Yogi tea saying of the week: “If it doesn’t challenge, it won’t change you.”

Instant Goddess saying of the week: “The Big C can’t keep an Instant Goddess down.”

Until next week Goddesses and remember, you are ALWAYS, ALWAYS worth it.
