I don’t know about you, but I struggle for breakfast ideas. Moving into perimenopause and learning about nutrition in these years (40+) a higher protein breakfast is suggested. Eggs if you like them are the perfect breakfast. Unfortunately for me, I don’t like eggs, so I need to find a way to get them in […]

Lemon Chicken Thighs in the slow cooker
Springing into Spring… In my journey into eating meat, I have been experimenting with chicken thighs!

Ginger noodle stir fry
I love stir fry. It’s quick, easy, tasty, and can be a great source of fibre—the more variety of veggies, nuts, seeds, and herbs, the more fibre points you get. You pick and choose the ingredients. They can be vegan, vegetarian, or you can add meat. I love the freedom you have and the ability […]

Simple Sourdough Scone
This has to be the most simple scone recipe I have ever tried, and the outcome was delicious fluffy scones! You need a sourdough starter, so if you don’t have one, you will need to make one. I quickly talk through how to make that in this video: https://youtu.be/ylBLkbbipI8?si=2olypY-va7Xq9vD0 . I have switched from the […]

Spring is sneaking in and Tomato Toast is on the menu
Tomato Toast Fiber Points 9+ I love this recipe; it’s so simple, and you can add various herbs and seeds to boost the diversity of something so simple. Sourdough bread (to get the fiber points) or a nice bloomer. You want bread that has a good surface area when you slice it. If you are […]
