  • A robust salad of Puy lentils and pan fried smoked salmon fillet completes the protein - many people don’t realise when you consume pulses you need another source of protein to make it complete in terms of the amino acids. Adding tofu or another pulse and meat gives it the full benefit. Puy lentil also is quick to cook and does not require soaking. I cook it in a pot with cold water, a bay leaf, a piece of lemon rind and clove of garlic. It gives it a good tasty base. Drain any surplus water once it’s cooked and any leftovers can be used in another dish - which I will be posting soon. No need to worry if you make too much. You can make lentil burgers - I’ll be making Mudajjara an incredibly tasty lentil and rice Arabic dish. Here made into a salad with half an onion, a banana shallot would be perfect. Romano pepper, chopped parsley and radishes. Just make sure you put any light green leaf at the end after you dressed it so it does not to wilt too quickly. I used baby spinach as that is what I had in the fridge but you can use rocket, watercress or even sliced cod lettuce. Be experimental- dressing - lemon juice, red wine vinegar - a couple squirts of Bragg’s amino acid, you can use a dash of soy instead. Off course season it well with salt and black pepper and olive oil. Avoid table salt at all costs and in fact get rid of it. Use sea salt or Malden salt. Salad stays well for a couple days but will need boosting with more dressing or oil.

  • Midweek supper. Easy to fix and tasty indeed. Gluten free penne pasta with Chicken Arriabata Sauce. Never occurred to me to make it with chicken until I saw this in this months Sainsbury’s magazine while queuing at the checkout. Hmmm looks good I thought and feeling off red and heavy meats recently. My partner loves pasta so this dish satisfies us both - for me it needs to be gluten free. I have found Sainsbury’s gluten free pasta excellent in terms of texture and taste. Inspired recipe and adapted as mine is heavier in the sauce department. #foodfriday #healthyfood #glutenfree #chicken #arrabiata #sainsburys #sainsburysmagazine #recipe #lowfat #wholesome #penne #chilli #tomatosauce #romanopepper #cherrytomatoes #chickenbreast #easy #supper #homemade #sauce #inmykitchen #alifeofgoodeating
  • Working from home means I take a break making swift lunches. Gluten free rice noodle ramen made with mushroom stock. Putting bits of left over veggies, shiitake and cauldrons fried tofu. I added a few prawns too. Only ten minutes to knockout- very little washing up - always a bonus - wholesome and good too. Topped with black sesame- I also added a generous spoonful of ground flaxseeds to make up for the lack of fibre in the rice noodles - not photographed. Can off course be vegan without the prawns. #lunch #homecooking #easy #quick #healthyfood #vegan #vegetarian #meatfree #glutenfree #noodles #ricenoodles #ramen #shitake #chineseblackmushrooms #nourishing #mixedveggies #foodphotography #food #healthylifestyle #healthylife #wakame #alifeofgoodeating #inmykitchen
  • This is the result of my feeling the need to bake yesterday. Homemade gluten free muffins. Clearing out the baking larder had me making carrot muffins. Didn’t have quite enough gluten-free flour so made up the 50g with Farina de Milho Branco - which essentially is ground corn flour - Portuguese. Worried that it may dense up the end result so grated an apple that was leftover from a cheese night. We like eating sliced apple with cheese on a cheese night we do. There always seems to be enough carrots in a bag left over too, especially when they are organic - hence the inspiration of carrot muffins. Icing sugar another culprit for sitting around for months on end as most recipes only require a small amount. This was added to the cream cheese I had left over in the fridge! I love when the ingredients around inspire a recipe to be made. Added xantham powder, baking powder, mixed spice and cinnamon. A bit or orange zest and it’s juice also. #nofilter #healthyfood #vegetarian #glutenfree #muffin #muffins #carrotcake #easy #apple #creamcheese #orange #spices #yummy #baking #supermoist #breakfast #snack #healthysnacks #homemade #homecooking #inmykitchen #alifeofgoodeating #foodphotography #foodporn #food

  • Super Full Moon in Libra - Spring Equinox -GMT 1.42am With us being on the fringe of the equinox and together with the alignments of the planets, we are asked to be stripped of all we know and embark on the path of not knowing. The manifestation is yet to form. A time when we need and must put ourselves at the core of our lives and navigate the terrain of building this with our outer world. With everything being reflected for healing right now, we only can change ourselves. Allow the wheel to turn in the way it needs to, surrendering to what is, letting go what no longer feels right, and it’s actually not that hard as there won’t be any energy left around it. You will not feel the lean toward someone or something. Focus on what usable energy you can draw on to make this shift. By the way, this is not a time to give up either - To give up on your hopes and dreams, on relationships you have cultivated despite its difficulties, but to dig deep and do your inner work. By usable energy I mean, what personal resource do you have to assist you with and or accomplish right now?This could be your physical fitness, your time, rather than squandering it onto other peoples dramas and needs?Your thinking. Positive or negative riled with worry? Mercury retrograde ( has us in our heads, the thinking planet )and Chiron the wounded healer at the 0 degrees of Aries - Aries is the sign at the start of the zodiac wheel. Therefore, we are a portal of new beginnings. Combined with the Super Full Moon GMT 1.42 a.m. in Libra again at 0 degrees - the Jaguar moon and Spring Equinox are giving us a massive shove to call in Divine Spirit for guidance, and for those who feel lost, abandoned and unconnected you must connect to the Divine. Remember this is not a do it yourself path. Never was and never will be.

  • It is imperative to give our men, our personal man space to breakdown if need be and held. ( by that I mean space, to be witnessed rather than doing anything, i.e. wipe his tears or even hold him physically until he is done.- you will know. ) I remember when my love did, a few times, rather than correct him, wanting him to be stronger or felt any disgust toward ‘his lack’ of masculinity. I recognised that he needed more than anything to let it out. Like an internal purging, emotional vomit…As women, we need to ask ourselves ‘what is in me that requires him not to show his emotions?’ We were brought up by the false notion of what a man is supposed to do, look like, what our expectations are - be our hero, smarter, make more money, be the perfect husband, not allowed to show their vulnerability, God forbid they do! It is no wonder they turn to drink, get into addictions and in some cases, commit suicide. Heart attacks and heart ‘dis-ease’ also… The pressure to achieve, get to the top, be the best…The shame so great when they don’t. They find themselves unable to open up ( as they would be letting people around them down: their partners, business partners, dads, moms). -The image they held for so long, as it’s not brave enough to confess that he feels his life to be shit and falling apart: afraid because he does not know where to go and who to turn to. We all know what a stigma there is in going to seek counsel or a therapist? Men have not been raised as most of us know to be open, vulnerable and show their emotions. Grown to be fighters, protectors, doers, providers you name it. We’ve all had dads, partners, uncles any male figure be driven to supply, provide and hold their family. For full article go to my profile and click on my website. 🙏🏼 you’ll find it there. #together #emotionalsupport #manup #youarenotalone #wellbeing
  • Transformation Thursday! Love is all we are, but we tend to hide from our light and greatness. That does not mean we do everything for everyone. No. Self love is self care at its highest form. Putting boundaries up when it is needed. Letting go of what no serves, people, habits, time wasting devices, bullshit and all things that steal our inner light and love. It’s wisdom in action 🙏🏼🌟 #transformationthursday #karma #release #transformation #selfcare #beyou #selfdevelopment #selflove #sovereignty #selfauthorship #expression #narratives #integrity #trustchange #coach #lifeguide #change #changeiscoming #innerlife #cominghome #ownyourlife #discernment #letgo #empoweredliving #empowerment #nourishment #lifeforce #lifeenergy #soulwork #rafahsabbagh
