6 days ago by brownpapernutrition Finished my final work submission today (a really bloody exciting one too!) before I take time out for birth and beyond yassssssssss bebe girl you is welcome to come into the world anytime... but preferably on the weekend when I’ve ticked a few more boxes of the stuff that needs to happen including putting my heavily swollen feet up somehow. I’ll be honest I feel a bit weird and nervous about taking a step away from my business for the next while, I have driven this engine for a solid 7+ years now and not taken any real extended leave,
1 week ago by brownpapernutrition FULLY appreciate that posting Choc Peanut Butter Fudge first thing on a Monday morning might be torture, but ACTUALLY what is the point of a Monday unless to be excited about the week ahead?!?!?! ‍♀️ESPECIALLY if it involves making THIS!!!!!!

5 days ago by brownpapernutrition MANGO YOGHURT RICOTTA SLICE... cheesecake thing which I made with a few things in the fridge and inspired by my case of mangoes : ) I made it by whisking together 3/4 cup ricotta, 3/4 cup greek yoghurt, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 free range eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 medium very sweet aka brown banana and 2 teaspoons lime zest until all creamy and delicious. Then poured it into a lined loaf tin and popped it in the oven at 180C for about an hour - or until a skewer came out clean and the top
1 week ago by brownpapernutrition TERIYAKI (NO) MEAT BALL BOWL - of delicious, satisfying happiness! Pickled onion are a staple in our fridge. I use an apple cider vinegar base for it and it's literally ready in 20 minutes for whichever meal I like and then keeps in the fridge a few weeks... if it lasts. Best way to pimp up a meal, adds valuable prebiotic fibres and quercetin to the diet and sans raw onion breath too - win! The (no) meatballs are made with quinoa, beans and mushies and absolutely heaven. Make please! Popped the full recipe on @bodyandsoul_au beautiful humans. J xo
4 days ago by brownpapernutrition As you shop for your groceries this weekend, have a think about ingredients you can batch prep (roast, steam, blanch for veggies) and legumes like chickpeas, lentils, kidney beans that can easily be thrown into meals and keep your vegetable and fibre intake topped up. There is absolutely no denying that laying the foundations of your diet with plants is tremendously beneficial for your health on so many levels. There's also no denying that I am a massive believer in delicious condiments in the fridge and pantry to make meals interesting rather than plain and frankly a little boring so

New Year Resolutions for 2020

by Jacqueline Alwill

Lots of New Year resolution chats happening this time of year and before the anxiety of wtf shall I resolve to do and an epic long list appears before you I just wanted to drop this thought which is – it’s ok to resolve to do less. Doing less and simplifying things doesn’t make you any less. In fact, if anything, just doing a few less things but doing those chosen things with INTENTION will mean you are doing more – because of the QUALITY of your attention to it. I scaled back on SO MUCH in 2019 and I won’t lie at first it totally fkd with my ego. My ego told me

I wasn’t doing enough, and because I wasn’t doing enough I would fail and not be the person I “thought” I should be, but I did my best to ignore that ugly voice, persevered, simplified and honestly have never felt such fulfilment because now I do fewer things, but those things I focus on I do with all of my attention and heart. My family, friends, work and my physical, emotional and mental health have all felt the benefits of this process. So before you sit and write a hella long list of resolutions, first reflect, simplify and look at all the GREAT THINGS YOU ALREADY HAVE, and how you can act on them with greater intention and focus in 2020.
