I had a lovely lunch last weekend with Alex and we were discussing how much sugar impacts on how much we eat. We’ve both had a similar experience – by reducing sugar we have reduced the craving for more food. It’s like sugar runs another program in my brain that overrides my ‘satisfied’ belly. We have both found that by cutting down on sugar of any kind, the feeling of ‘enough’ could truly be felt and over-eating is no longer a driving force at meal time. Inspired by this conversation, I’ve created a ‘sweet treat’ that is lovely to offer … Continue reading Coconut & Almond Truffles
This week was really busy at work. I have started to integrate into a new department to take over from a lady who will be going on maternity leave in three months. So in addition to my usual work, I am picking up more tasks and spent Friday focussed and busy. I love being busy so it wasn’t exhausting or stressful. When I got home at 7.30pm, I was hungry and tired, so I wanted to have something super nutritious and light that would send me to sleep in harmony. In a large fry pan I melted some coconut oil. … Continue reading Simple Vegetable Supper

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
Super simple … Gently fry a piece of fresh fish (or you could use prawns, or tofu, or grilled aubergine!) in a little coconut oil with lots of chilli flakes on one side. While that is cooking, re-heat some pre-cooked coconut dahl (or cook from fresh – allow one hour) and chop some fresh coriander. Turn the fish till cooked through and serve on top of the dahl, sprinkle the coriander and eat lovingly. Satisfying, tasty and super simple. Continue reading Simple Dahl & Fish Supper
