Summer is on its way so it's time to get thinking about you! I offer a fun fitness class every Wednesday at 7.30pm-8.30pm in the Ellerslie area. It is a different class every week so you will never get bored. The ladies that come are such a great bunch of humans. You will get a fantastic workout with great music and make some wonderful friends.
Especially great for mums who can't otherwise get out to exercise during the day, come along when bubs/kids are in bed and have some "me" time.
See my attached flyer for details.
Bookings are essential.
FREE trial class!
Come and see what it's all about.
Contact me and I can email you prices and all the details.
I look forward to meeting you!!

Serves 4
Ingredients
20 Asparagus, spears (5-6 asparagus spears per person)
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Mayonnaise
50 g Parmigiano cheese, grated
Directions
1. Snap off the asparagus ends or peel the last 2-3 centimetres.
2. Heat a pot of water to blanch the asparagus.
3. Add salt and sugar to the water — this helps heighten the green colour of the asparagus.
4. When water reaches a rolling boil, add the asparagus. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain in a sink with cold running water and ice if you have it.
6. Remove from the water when cool and drain and place on a serving plate.
7. Combine the parmigiano and mayonnaise and pour over the asparagus.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
