Crunchy Spring Salad

smc

I was blessed to have a house full of truly beautiful people and shared dinner with Love. With our salmon fillets, I made a delightful salad that could possibly be my yummiest ever!

There’s an honesty in the way I prepare food and feel the care for myself and others I am sharing food with. It’s changed more recently where I only want to give myself loving food and eat honouring my body. Ingredients: Baby cos … Continue reading Crunchy Spring Salad

smc

Julie has asked me to come up with some fresh ideas for a work lunch meeting she is holding for 17 people. A great idea is to ask everyone to choose his or her protein the week before, then you know how much you will need to buy and prepare. Keep it simple and buy a few BBQ Chickens already cooked (no stuffing) and cut them into quarters with some good quality shears/scissors so they are easy to manage. Drizzle with olive oil after cutting and cover to keep in the moisture. Here’s a twist on the protein with a … Continue reading Julie’s Team Lunch Meeting

You could enjoy this at any time of day, but I had it for breakfast and it was very fitting indeed. While steaming some broccoli florets, grind a handful of almonds – not too much though. Warm some olive oil in frying pan on medium heat and add the nuts. Add a teaspoon of turmeric, a sprinkle of cumin, a dusting of sweet smoked paprika and a few caraway seeds. Gently fry until roasted. When the broccoli is tender (not too soft), remove from steam and in a bowl combine with pepper, olive oil and a teaspoon of rose harissa. … Continue reading Jinya’s Warm Broccoli Salad with Roasted Spicy Almond Chunks
