You need to brighten up these dreary winter months with warming dishes that give you joy and that are also good for you.
Breakfast Strata
So I would like to reassure you that there are brighter days ahead. I feel like the days are just that little bit longer and brighter and there are little shoots of daffodils peeking through in my garden (let me know if you'd like to see them).
Time to look forward to and enjoy something special at weekends!
I got you with this Savory bread pudding or Strata for breakfast or brunch😉. You literally have to do nothing because you want to make this the day before. A little indulgent with the pancetta and cheese, but still packing a good measure of vegetables.
And sometimes you really don't want to reinvent the wheel if you want a simple dinner idea where you can cram at least 7️⃣plants not to mention the spices 🌶️! This chili con carne might seem indulgent, but I can assure you it is a healthy option if you are still sticking to your January health goals. Packed with protein from the lean beef, black beans 🫘 and even the wholegrain rice, fibre, and lovely good for you fats from avocado and olive oil!
I am proof that you can change your eating habits, because not long ago I was not a fan of eating carrots on their own. 🥕 But a few years ago I started making these roast Chantenay carrots during the winter when they are in season and everyone absolutely adores them! They are such a welcome bright addition to cozy meals or roasts. They are sweeter and not so earthy compared to the regular carrots, watch this Youtube video to see how I make them and what to pair them with if you have them for lunch . 🙌 All the good stuff for a happy, healthy gut, and you are well on your way to 30 plants a week 🙌
If you follow me you know I am a fan of reinventing meals by adding beans of all kinds, but this time, it's an old family creamy beans dish I was really craving! Pop back to my website to check when I post my exact mum's recipe for butter bean hummus, there are some unexpected twists and turns 😜.
