Ages ago (and I mean ages), I wrote this post where I was all like “I’m going to do a regular-ish post series sharing what I eat from day to day, because I find what others eat fascinating and figured maybe you do too”.  I got the idea from Megan and her “what I ate Wednesday” posts. Is it totally tragic that I enjoy perving on what she’s been eating of late? Don’t answer that.

As it happens. I don’t usually want to take snaps of my food. I just want to eat it. So, these posts will be more sporadic. I’m leading by example and not putting pressure on myself to take on tasks that add to my very full mental load. Feel free to use this as inspiration to re-assess your own self-inflicted obligations.

Anyhow, here’s what I’ve been loving lately …

Brekkie

Still completely obsessed with my fave green smoothie. I don’t see my love for this smoothie going anywhere any time soon. This is definitely one rut I have no urgency to get myself out of.

Lunch

At lunch I’m loving making turmeric macadamia cauliflower rice with  roasted pumpkin … so super-tasty and always hits the spot. This is one I can make-ahead and take to uni. I’m in the process of writing a cookbook at the moment (don’t ask me when it will be finished!) and the cauliflower rice recipe will definitely be in there.

It’s funny I’ve always wanted a cookbook but always figured there’s already too many – what do I have to offer thats different? My friends keep telling me I should totally do one so I’ve started writing and we’ll see how that goes. If you reckon you’d buy a book of mine please comment below so I can have an idea of demand (to kick this little tushy into excitable action).

After Lunch or Arvo Snack

I’m loving snacking on frozen mixed organic berries lately. When I was a kid I used to roll my eyes when people said that frozen fruit was a “dessert”. I’d be all like “it’s fruit, not chocolate” and proceed to   crack open a block of 85% dark choccie. I’m now one of those people and you’re probably rolling your eyes at me. Seriously though, frozen berries are the bomb diggity!

Dinner

I’m still amazed that black bean noodles taste so “carby” and pasta-like. I enjoy them with anything; roast veggie and avo, or my broccoli and olive oil smash plus some trail mix sauteed in coconut aminos (a-la black-belt bowl style). Sometimes I’ll just have a bowl of salt and vinegar veggie rice (recipe will also be in the cookbook) and then chase it with my latest dessert obsession …

Dessert

I’m back to being totally addicted to my ole’ fave recipe for buckwheat porridge. These days I make the dairy-free option with cashews and decorate it with fruit and nut butter. It’s so comforting on chilly nights and the complex carbohydrates really seem to improve my sleep quality. I’m so glad that I’ve healed my gut and now totally thrive on a higher (not high) carb diet than before. Just goes to show that our needs keep changing and that nothing (other than real food!!!) is set in stone when it comes to nutrition.

So, what are YOU loving lately? And also, would you be keen for a cookbook, or do you think the market is overcrowded and I’m better off working on my autobiography instead?
