2 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,
20 hours 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
4 days 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
5 days ago by brownpapernutrition EGGPLANT MUNG BEAN CURRY: Making this one because I’ve not been able to stop thinking about it but also to store in the freezer for post partum meals which are easy to pull, defrost, nourish and restore. The eggplant gives a really substantial element to this curry, complimented well by mung beans. Mung beans are some of my favourites for curries, they have a delicious flavour, but also deliver significant amounts of fibre, plant based amino acids for protein, iron and interestingly a dense amount of folate too. Folate (Vitamin B9) during pregnancy is required to help reduce the risk

Rosy vanilla wholefoods slice to celebrate the launch of Schmidt’s Naturals

by Jacqueline Alwill

Our home has slowly transitioned to more plant based foods over the past couple of years, and more natural approaches to body, skin and home care too. I (try to!) do my best to create a holistic lifestyle for myself and the fam, so today I’m taking ingredient inspiration from one natural product into the next, and look yes I know deodorant may seem left of field to then think about in the context of food BUT Schmidt’s Naturals includes beautiful, mineral and plant based ingredients such as coconut, vanilla and rose in their formulations and I thought that was a pretty wonderful inspo for something of a similar nature in the kitchen.

I’ll be packing these snacks and Schmidts Rose and Vanilla Deodorant in my hospital (and everywhere…) bag in the weeks to come.
