What you may not know about Wimbledon!

Whether you are a tennis fan or not, Wimbledon is no doubt a big event in the British sporting calendar. Originally starting in 1877 this historic tennis tournament has been a staple in our summer calendar for years. With Murray coming back to the courts this year after claiming the title in 2013, this tournament is bound to be one filled with energy and suspense.

Here are a few fun facts about the tournament you may not have known, like there are nearly 55,000 tennis balls used in the two week long championships!


Enjoy watching the tournament!

Father's Day Recipe

Father's Day is fast approaching and what better way to tell Dad how much you love him then a lovely homemade breakfast and time with the family next Sunday. We tried out a great omelette muffin recipe that is perfect for the kids to cook for Dad in the morning, and only needs simple ingredients you probably have in your fridge already.

Ingredients:

- 125g chesnut mushrooms, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- 100g spinach
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 30ml skimmed milk
- 20g parmesan cheese - finely grated
- salt and pepper

Recipe:

1. Firstly, preheat oven to 200c/400F or gas mark 6 and start by chopping your mushrooms and garlic ready to use.
2. fry the mushrooms and season well until they start to turn goldden


3. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute and then start adding the spinach and leave to wilt with the mushrooms


4. Remove from the heat once the spinach has wilted and set aside to cool
5. Whisk together the eggs, milk and half the parmesan in a bowl


6. Stir in the mushroom and spinach mixture
7. Grease a muffin tray


8. Divide the egg mixture between the muffin tray and sprinkle the tops with your remaining parmesan
9. Bake for 15 minutes until the muffins are puffed and golden (we kept them in the oven for 20 minutes)


10. Get them out the oven and serve hot, reheat them for 30 seconds if you leave them to cool!



There you have it, yummy mushroom and spinach omelette muffins for all the family to enjoy!

Just under 4 weeks to go!

The Ellie Ellie Team are embarking on a 13 Mile Midnight Walk this June to raise money for the Martlets Hospice! 

Being established in Sussex we are passionate about supporting our local charities and events and would like to raise as much money as possible for this great charity! If you are able to donate thank you so much for supporting us! We will keep you updated with our training progress and how our legs feel after the walk!

We are really motivated this year to support great local charities and doing our bit to support others. We were even more motivated to participate when we discovered that the Midnight Walk raised enough money last year to care for 2 patients in their own home, every day for a whole year. This year, we would be so honored if we could say we were a part of making such a huge difference to other peoples lives. 



Head over to our sponsorship page to donate to this great cause now and we promise we will do our best on the walk!
