  • Rainbow platter I made to kick off our big friends
    2 weeks ago by brownpapernutrition Rainbow platter I made to kick off our big friends lunch last weekend... one of my favourite things to make!  #saysthataboutallfood  Mixed it up to suit all tastebuds - a combo of dips with some dukkah over the top  #fancy  veggie sticks  #hellsyeah , tamari almonds, olives, seed snaps, pickles  #theobsessioncontinues , a few cheeses, crackers, and some baby radish! In a world where we are so 'connected' yet so disconnected at the same time, I truly cherish having my nearest with me to share beautiful food.

It’s coming into the cooler months of the year in my home town which means a few more warming dinners and dhal is one of my favourites. I tend to make up a batch of this when I can, we eat some, and I freeze the rest in portions which makes life THAT MUCH EASIER...

CARROT AND KALE DHAL

This is delicious when fresh but after day one it will be best kept in the fridge up to 1 week or sliced and stored in the freezer up to 3 weeks. Toasting the loaf brings out the flavours.

HOW TO WIN AT MEAL PREP

One of the first comments / excuses I hear from people when it comes to getting organised about their nutrition is that they don’t have time. Most of us are time poor at some stage, so whilst I totally understand the busy-ness that is life, I still truly believe that allocating a small amount of...
