Beetroot would have to be the prettiest veggie right? Even if you aren’t rapt in the earthy taste, you’ve got to dig the pinky-purple vibes.
That’s why I love cooking with beets. They make meals damn attractive. I also love that thanks to their nitrate status, beets boost exercise performance, lower blood pressure and improve endothelial dysfunction (Lidder & Webb, 2012).
Holy Moly this meal is a winner! Black bean noodles are a brill pasta or noodle replacement and taste so authentic. I love how rich in protein and fibre they are, plus the antioxidant content helps combat the oxidative stress of everyday wear and tear. Paired with a funky broccoli smash plus the totally addictive sweet and salty combo of coconut aminos-roasted almonds, pepitas and dates, this Black-belt Bowl is a nutrient-dense flavour bomb.
This is a genius way to make the most of fresh sardines – which are much sweeter than the tinned variety. And, I find, less gag-worthy.
I don’t always use the phrase “BOMB DIGGITY”, but when I do it’s because of taste sensations like this super-easy dessert “parfait”.
This baby only features two ingredients, but the technique and uh-maz-zing flavour combo is the absolute shizzle, I’m not even exaggerating when I say that it honestly tastes like banana cake batter. Who doesn’t love eating cake batter by the spoonful?
Bone-broth based soups are so on trend right now and for good reason. They are;
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!
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 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.
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?
