Carolien’s Nori Rolls
I love making nori rolls as they are easy to take with me when I travel or for lunch at work. I fry thin omelets from eggs with some spices (such as turmeric, wasabi, black pepper, chili, Italian herbs or fresh herbs. You can also add a little garlic powder) and cut those in half. Place the half (cooled down) omelet on the nori sheet. Then on the middle of the omelet place your filling. Your filling can be whatever you like: salad, avocado, greens like watercress, sprouts, smoked salmon, tuna etc. I have even filled them with left over … Continue reading Carolien’s Nori Rolls

The Onion
I’ve often heard the analogy that healing is “like peeling away layers of an onion”. If only … I have a lot of ‘if only’ running through my mind at the moment and there’s one thing I know for sure – I can’t go back and change them … so how do I accept the not-so-loving choices I’ve made in my life? The unfoldment of the amazing work-in-progress that I am is allowing me the opportunity to choose another way of treating myself – I have been and can be very hard on myself for choices that have not been … Continue reading The Onion
