Making every mouthful matter
I have often come up against the barrier of ‘but everything healthy is SO expensive’.
And yes if you do choose to purchase Madagascan vanilla powder from a tiny independent health food store on a high street in a relatively affluent neighbourhood to make your grain free vegan muffins then you would be entirely correct.
As you can probably tell I don’t do this. Anymore.

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.

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.

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.

Ever looked at a recipe & thought “YES PLEASE” then looked at the ingredients & realised you’re missing a few crucial (AKA all) elements?
Well these babies throw that to the wind & offer up an entirely adaptable, totally delicious & obviously nutritious new way of baking.
I’d probably read more if I were you….

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.
