Good Evening Community. I got SO MANY DM's about this raw cauliflower dish I prepared I thought i would post about it!! . (Ok I lie.. i got maybe 2 or 3 messages 🤣 #keepinitreal ) . ANYWAY I present to you a very typical Mediterranean way of preparing cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower. We ( me moreso ) are mot huge fans of cooked cauliflower. There is something about the taste when it becomes soft I have never really enjoyed. . This is where this dish comes in! Prep is simple and please note.. special shoutout to my grandparents who like the rest of my famiy, live on the other side of the country: this is homegrown Oregano that they sent me! 🔹️Raw Cauliflower florets 🔹️Dried Oregano 🔹️White Vinegar 🔹️Garlic Powder 🔹️Lemon Juice 🔹️EVO Oil 🔹️Salt and Pepper . Simple right.. but the taste.. well I will leave you to be the judge. Now we like ours quite acidic! So by all means balance it out depending on your taste pref! Please note.. like most our dishes.. I am not a measure type of person i just add and taste.. exactly like my nonna. . . . . . . . #mediterraneanfood #italianfood #rawfoodshare #rawfood #cauliflower #freshfood #homemade #rustic #wholesome #foodshare #vegetables #mealprep #foodshare #foodie #freshfood #eatclean #healthyeating #foodsnap #foodie #healthandwellness #wellbeing #eatwell #families #family #cookedwithlove #produce #eatfresh #salad #plantbased

Let's talk School Lunches! However way you decide to introduce your Child to lunch packing make sure it is sustainable. This is the reason my lunches look super ordinary, simple and quick to put together. . The one thing you will always notice about my lunchboxes ( remembering this is MY way not necessarily YOUR way) is i don't pack packaged food and I also don't pack baked goods. I personally don't feel like there is a need to introduce baked goods into a lunch box for kid's at all. I still consider food even made with "natural sugar" to be a sometimes food, for example something they may have after school one day or on the weekend. . Sometimes parents will say to me "but you are lucky your kids eat well and eat a big variety of fresh food" It actually annoys me. Nothing in parenting is luck. You may have a child with favourable characterists however i have worked very hard day in day out to consciously work on building a positive love for fresh food just as much as I have worked on their education. They are not perfect eaters and I always feel like food and taste evolves so you are equipting your child with the skills to be open to those changes. . Something else I do which is contraversial; I simply don't pack food my children don't like or are still learning to like. I first get them eating it at home comfortably then i may add just a tiny amount to their lunchboxes. My mentality is you want them to eat and enjoy their food at school.. just like education- they do homework and practice at home that way they excel in their learning at school. You will notice I have only added 1 baby tomato as my son still pretty much dislikes it but asks for one as he wants to learn to like it because his sister out eats him haha . The way I build my lunch is this way: into 3 parts: Fruit, Veg and Lunch. That's it. I may add an accompany to the fruit or veg for example a homemade dip or some fresh unsweetened yoghurt. Kid's are not given alot of time to eat at school so don't pack ALOT! . Today's lunchbox: 🔹️Marinated Raw Cauliflower 🔹️Celery 🔹️Kiwi 🔹️Strawberry and Blueberry 🔹️Rye Sandwhich with tuna, carrot cucumber and lettuce . 💕✌👋

Hello 👋 🤗 we have been super duper busy bees of late and to be honest a shift in my priorities saw me distancing from this platform in order to do what I needed to do. . I can assure you though everything is well and even though we may not get into our private lives on this platform ( guess we are not over sharers) I do appreciate those of you who have personally reached out to us during our moment of silence! . Today's post is dedicated to my boy. School lunches have been looking alot like this. He hasn't been asking much for left overs.. but has requested some of his "fav salad additions" fair enough. I have also been making a conscious effort to include alot of fresh herbs into their meals so now the kids ask " where is the parsley.. what about the corriander" whenever I present them with food 🤣 they are strange.. like their father no doubt 🤔🤣 . Anyway look forward to catching up with you all. Hope all has been well.. and how exciting.. last month of winter for us 🙌 I can taste the sweet mango and cherries already! What has everyone been up to and trouble have you been causing 😉

Do you workout with your partner? . Who LOVES it? Who LOATHES it? Have you found something you both enjoy doing? . Getting your sweat on with your partner has many benefits. I think you train alot harder, you put in more effort and i think they can push you a whole lot more.. providing they don't drive you crazy! Crazy in a bad way that is! . I love training with Hubby because it makes a positive impact on our relationship! We feel closer to one another and I feel i work at 100% . Our biggest tip is to do something that you both love! Make a list of all the things you enjoy and don't enjoy. I will tell you now we both dislike walking, running and yoga and we both enjoy weights, resistance training and martial arts.. in particular Muay Thai. I have tried jujitsu but i end up laughing too much 🤪😜 . We always talk about high intensity exercise. To reap the most benefits ( providing you are low risk ) exercising should make it difficult to maintain a conversation. You should be puffing. If what you are doing is not causing these pysiological changes then you are exercising at a low to med intensity ( some high risk people can only do this, that is why you need to be properly assessed before increasing your heart rate) if you do enjoy the more passive exercise.. that is fine but try and fit in 1 or 2 sessions a week of more strenuous exercise and make sure you lift weights! That is something EVERYONE needs to do under proper care, instruction and advice from their team! . So why not grab your partner now and give it a go!! You could start off doing things at home.. like partner squats, sit ups, and hey some partner boxing!

I am making a batch of my "Panzarotti" tonight. . Have you made them yet? No?!?!?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAT??!!!!!! . Essentially these are little morsels of potato pillows: Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. They are inspired by my Nonna's traditional version which i still adore. . I added zucchini and spinach to mine. They are popular with kids, a great blw food for babies nom nom.. and for us Adult's.. gosh it is the type of food once you sink your teeth into especially in this cold weather; it just hits the spot! . If you are GF, just use a GF crumb instead of bread, i love making my own crumbs because yo uh can get your hands on whatever bread you can consume.. toast it in the oven and whizz it up! If you are dairy free, omit the cheese. It is still delicious!

Chickpea & Zucchini Slice RECIPE . Good evening everyone. I just spent the last hour scrubbing my shower because for some strange reason i get these energy hits every single night 😂 but don't worry all.. chemical free cleaning 🙌 . So what does that have to do with the photo? umm nothing.. just random gibberish talk, because that is what I graduated uni with. Have to put my skills to good use. . Umm soooo my Nonna used to make a zucchini frittata growing up. A slice typically will use flour in the mixture to give it a more spongy feel and texture. So with my beloved in mind I whipped these up - a couple of times now and used chickpea flour. Essentially this becomes a double whammy protein dish with the goodness of zucchini and silverbeet. . I used lemon rind to give a beautiful citrus and sweet undertone and for those that are dairy free please omit the cottage cheese, however if you add it it gives a nice tangy flavour to it. If you didn't use cottage cheese i would add a dash of lemon juice to it. . RECIPE 🔹️1 cup Chickepea flour ( besan flour) 🔹️8 eggs whisked with salt pepper and garlic powder 🔹️4 zucchinis grated 🔹️3 shallots sauteed and cooled 🔹️3 big Silverbeet leaves finely chopped ( you can use kale or spinach 🔹️Rind of 1 lemon 🔹️1/3 cup cottage cheese . 🔹️ Combine all the ingredient ( except for the flour ) into a bowl and stir well. Start adding the flour slowly whilst mixing, until it is combined well. 🔹️ Bake in a preheated 180 degree Celsius oven until firm and golden, allow to cool slightly before cutting. . MEAL SUGGESTIONS 🔹️ Breakfast wrap with roasted veggies 🔹️ Diced into cubes and added to a salad 🔹️ snack on it's own ( I have been eating them on their own mid arvo when i get hungry)
