It’s Monday and you’re wondering what to cook for the family. You want something easy, cheap and nourishing, right? I mean, who doesn’t? This Baked Sweet Potato topped with Lentils and Crispy Kale is sure to hit the spot!
I love a power bowl. They’re so easy to throw together not to mention nourishing, and totally scrumptious. This Kale Chip and Lentil Power Bowl is no exception. Chock full of some of my favorite veggies, it fills me up and makes my tummy happy. What more could you ask for?
Whether you’re trying to get more plants into your diet or looking for a classic lentil recipe, my Basic French Lentils are a great place to start. Tasty, versatile, and super easy to make, they’re one of the great building blocks of a plant-based meal.
We’re doing a bit of a recipe-share at the kid’s school at the moment. It’s super fun to have a peak into other people’s kitchens, see what they like to cook. So when I came across this Deliciously Easy Red Lentil Dahl recipe I just knew I had to share it with you all.
How do you feel about supermarket shopping? Most people I know find it a chore but I really enjoy it. For me, supermarket shopping is that one time I can spend money and not feel guilty or wasteful. Having said that, there are times it feels like one extra job I simply can’t fit in. I mean, I try to do that one big shop a week that covers everything but sometimes life gets in the way. Not to mention my people are big eaters. Don’t they know that the milk/eggs/bread was supposed to last 7 days not 3?
It’s freezing cold in my part of the world at the moment. While I have come to appreciate the contrast of the seasons, there are others in my crew who don’t. It is for this reason we are making our annual pilgrimage up north to escape the cold.
Whilst most people would be doing a happy dance at the prospect of a tropical holiday, I secretly feel anxious (don’t tell anyone). Do you ever get that sinking feeling like you’re going to miss the plane? Well I have this for a whole week leading up to the trip. Even though we’re traveling domestically, I like to get to the airport 2 hours early just in case. Just in case of what I’m not really sure…
Every family has their own version of spaghetti bolognese. Growing up, this dish was a once a week staple in our household. When I moved out of home and was learning to cook for myself, spaghetti bolognese was one of the first dishes I mastered. I have always loved how inexpensive and easy it is to make.
Vegetarians need not miss out on this family favorite. In fact, my Super Tasty Veggie Bolognese ticks all the boxes. Believe it or not, my dedicated meat eaters actually prefer this version to the traditional.
