RECIPE: Matcha & Macadamia Chia Pudding

The concept that someone would have the creative capacity to come up with an entirely new breakfast every single morning baffles me a tad.

I mean it could just be jealously, I wish I had this ability.

No I am a creature of habit when it comes to my morning meals. This is not the say I eat the same breakfast every day & have done forever, no not at all, I just mean I’ll have a variation on a theme for a week or 2, then swap to something else.

And my current favourite is chia pudding.

RECIPE: Sesame, Banana & Walnut Breakfast Sandwiches

I have a weird obsession with frozen things.

Like to the point people may be concerned that I am causing myself frostbite of the oral area. (I’m not FYI)

Yes my dental durability is such that I can delight in frozen berries, frozen peas, frozen brownies….pretty much any I desire BUT I entirely understand that this is not something others would necessarily want to join me in.

These dreamy semi-fredo style coconut yoghurt stuffed breakfast sandwiches however…..oh yes chaps you’ll want in, oh yes indeed.

RECIPE: Summer Herb Meatballs with Celeriac Mash

Through no conscious decision, perhaps more a subconscious nod to being more sustainable in my eating habits, I don’t eat meat on that regular a basis these days, however on occasion I do just have that hankering for something ravishingly red meat centric.

Now in honour of our environment and those animals that we will be consuming I will only ever purchase and suggest others purchase organic, grass fed animal products. Not only does this ensure a higher welfare standard for those animals whilst they are alive, but as a consequence the nutritional profile we receive is entirely different to intensively raised livestock. Those natural farming habits are also less damaging to our world.

The Many Facets of Self Care

We have all been told we must love our neighbours as we love ourselves but I will hazard a guess that many of us afford others more attention & kindness than we gift to our own beings.

Now this is not a bad thing per se, being a wonderful human being, caring for our loved ones &/or those we may not necessarily even know that well in itself is a form of self love, as in turn we tend to see at least some of that being reciprocated. Paying it forward so to speak.

My thoughts today however turn to the numerous different ways we can look after ourselves, a few of which I summarise below.

Is Your Eating Really Intuitive? My Thoughts On Positive Food Relationships, Cravings & Functional Issues

“I only eat what my body tells me it needs”

Sounds pretty simple doesn’t it?

And yes in principle I fully support the idea of eating intuitively, following your own unique hunger signals, being in tune with what you need as opposed to the generalised ‘normal’ way of feeding ourselves (whatever that actually is these days…..) should be.

But I do have one distinct stumbling block here – what if your body isn’t firing on all cylinders & so can’t give you the right messages? Well that’s when I pull the above face because I’ve had numerous discussions with individuals that indicate this is the case & so that’s where my attention is directed today.
