Foodie Friday: Tofu Stir Fry

#foodiefriday I'm home alone tonight so I cooked one of my favourite fast meals - Tofu with stir fried vegetables. I pan fry the tofu in a little sesame oil, chilli, ginger and garlic. While that's cooking, I chop all the fast cook vege I have in the fridge. Tonight's version has wombok, bok choy, capsicum, mushrooms and spring onions. A splash of tamari adds seasoning, sesame seeds and cashews add crunch. Ready to eat in 15mins, delish!

Foodie Friday: Tray Baked Dinners of Easy 'Planovers'

#foodiefriday Tray bake dinners are great when you have a bit of time to cook lots at once. Ther is potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli chopped up at roughly equal size, chicken drumsticks on top. Add your favourite herbs and spices. Put in a moderate oven for 60-75mins until everything is cooked through. Plenty of 'planovers' for the next day, or freeze portions for easy lunches.

Hero Nutrient: Iron

Everyone knows that many animal proteins are good sources of iron. However there are great plant based sources too - These include pumpkin & sunflower seeds, avocado, parsley, almonds, cashews, soybeans, lentils, dried apricots and figs and of course leafy greens like spinach and kale. If you are feeling exhausted, having mood swings, finding it difficult to concentrate, getting dizzy constantly getting colds, your hair is falling out, or your nails are weak - Please get Iron levels assessed! 😀👍

Foodie Friday: Healthy Salad Dressing

Packaged salad dressings have sneaky sugars and additives, so my favourite healthy alternative: lemon juice and olive oil, and tonnes of parsley, it's soooo yummy 😘

Foodie Friday: Beetroot, Walnut and Fetta Salad

#foodiefriday This is one of my favourite salads anytime of the year, hot or cold. The base is 2/3 assorted green vege, with a few spoons of cooked black rice, beetroot, feta & walnuts. For today's version I added radishes from the garden and some avocado. It also is amazing with broccolini and mushrooms. If you love texture in your salad try this one 😀
