If you haven’t figured out yet from this post and this post, I really hate seeing a quality lamb leg go to waste after a roast. It’s virtually impossible to strip all the meat away, and seeing flesh go in the bin is such a sad sight. Thankfully, this is a sight we needn’t see – enter Thrifty Lamb Soup, which, as the name suggests, allows us to be thrifty, ensuring that no part of that beautiful animal goes to waste (plus you get a delicious and dirt-cheap meal out of the whole experience – plus you kitchen will smell divine). Winning all round!

My Go-to Side Dish or “Starter”
I’ve mentioned my adoration of organic broccoli with olive oil, salt and pepper several times before. However, I thought that seeing as I eat this dish pretty much every day, either as a light lunch, side dish with fish at night or a “starter” before a dessert of a few organic bananas with inca inchi butter, I’d better give my beloved greens their own recipe post.
A Day On My Plate
A blogger fave of mine, Megan from detoxinista.com, writes regular posts entitled; What I Ate, where she shares photos and explanations of what she’s eating lately. I find it weirdly fascinating to take a glimpse at someone else’s nutrition habits. I’m guessing this strange interest is what makes me cut out to be a nutritionist.
Sex-noise Salmon with Seductive Veggie (s)Mash
This meal is seriously worthy of it’s kinky title. The salmon alone will induce the foodgasm of a lifetime. No joke, you’ll be hard pressed to contain the urge to happy dance in your seat and grunt with delight as you savour each flavour-bomb mouthful. Then you discover the seductive bed of mixed vegetable mash. The playful side dish keeps drawing you back for more as you take time to appreciate the moorish creaminess, subtle spiciness, addictive sweetness and grounding saltiness. The crispy skin garnish takes the presentation and texture to another level – who doesn’t love a well-seasoned, absurdly crunchy and deliciously fatty salmon skin?

Sneaky Swaps Part 2: A Sweeter Life
It’s early January. New Year’s resolution season! The time of year that we resolve to change ourselves for the better, implement new habits, commit to carefully-planned routines and promise ourselves that we WILL use our gym membership (for the record, I only put this last one in here to stay relatable … I genuinely look forward to gym classes). Among the lists of admirable intentions, is often something nutrition-related, and more recently sugar – specifically the refined white stuff -seems to be something that people are determined to give the flick. AND FOR GOOD REASON.
Broccoli Coconut Rice
No rave from me today, just one of my favourite savoury dishes of late, that ticks all the boxes, no matter what you’re dietary requirements, food philosophies or health preferences.
My Favourite Green Smoothie
I have updated this post (I am writing to you in June 2019 and the post was originally written in 2016). It was wordy. Yawn! This smoothie doesn’t need a rant. It just needs to be embraced.
An even tastier variation is available in my glorious paperback; Periods, Poo & A Glorious You but for now, the original base recipe will do just dandily.
Comforting chicken, cabbage and kale bowl
This is comfort food taken to the next level A delicious recipe that fits in nicely with a ketogenic diet, GAPS (stage 4 I believe), grain-free, paleo, sugar-free, dairy-free (well, it uses ghee but lots of dairy-free peeps don’t react to ghee as it is pure butter fat; minimal lactose or casein. You could always use coconut oil, tallow, lard, chicken or duck fat), soy-free, nut-free, egg-free. Have I missed anything?
Lemongrass and Ginger Turkey and Vegetable Medley
To start of the year, I’d like to share this recipe that I came up with last night. What happens when there’s only three people in your family and the organic turkey that you order is 3.8kg??? You have LOTS of leftovers!
