Because it feels like a treat, when really, it’s full of everything we need; protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre.
Every meal tastes jazzy when it’s smothered in nut butter.
This seductive sweet spud dish is ‘sweet as’, hence the name. Now, never fear dear readers, I’m will not keep going on like;
a) I own a surf board,
OR
b) I call everyone ‘bro’
The ‘sweet’ talk (sorry) ends here.
Continue reading Sweet (As) Spud PuddingWell not actually, though I have been known to make suggestive noises when I bite into sumptuous preparations, I do not, repeat DO NOT, make love to my food. Hopefully, however, I grabbed your attention with the title, and now you’re thinking; hmmm orgasmic dinner bowl … I’m intrigued.
This tasty bowl is …
- Addictive – I’m warning you now
- A complete source of protein – all essential amino acids are represented
- Rich in nourishing fatty acids – may your skin, brains, gonads (I’m serious) and hormones drink them in. Cheers.
- Poop-producing fibre – so much roughage. Glorious!
- Easily prepared in advance – busy beavers rejoice!
It’s been a while since my last “a day on my plate” post and I figured, I’ve actually got time to do a blog post (this chicken is up-to-date with her uni assignments). Let’s take a peek at my veg-a-licious eats.
The thing that helps keep me on track with eating nutrient-dense meals is having key ingredients on hand. When we a) love a recipe, b) have the ingredients available to us, and c) find said recipe easy to prepare, we can say winner, winner broccoli for dinner!
Here’s what I’m obsessed with lately …
I LOVE nuts. And seeds.
Without them, I’d likely starve.
Or, at the very least, spend large chucks of my days drowning in tears of peanut-butter-deprivation-induced misery.
Cashews in creamy soups, pepitas sautéed in coconut aminos and sprinkled on meals, macadamias in these muffins, almonds in bliss balls and inca inchi seed butter with bananas. Dreamy!
This stew came about because I had way too many beef marrow bones in the freezer and needed to use them up.
In the nineteen months I spent on GAPS, I craved slow cooked meats, particularly the connective tissue from around animals bones. I kid you not, I happily ate little bowls of slimy, creamy connective tissue for dessert while my family ate chocolate cake around me. I thought that THEY were the ones missing out!
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.
