Throwback to this incredible meal I had with last week 😍😍😍

We had all of our fave things thrown together on a plate and somehow it worked out really well!!

Fried tempeh, crispy roasted sweet potato and courgette, hummus, guacamole, rocket, cauliflower and broccoli 💞

Butternut squash, aubergine and chickpea stew with brown rice 🥰 This is perfect for cold winter days, especially with fresh coriander on too! I used the recipe. I've got several of her cook books and highly recommend ☺️

Feeling very Christmassy, putting up the tree and blasting the Christmas tunes 🎄🎁 @ Manchester, United Kingdom

It's been a while since I posted, in all honesty I've been so busy and have prioritised other things. But I'm back to it now and I'm hoping to start posting me recipes regularly again 😀

I'm now over half way through Semester 3 and I'm fully loving it!! I've decided I'm really interested in pursuing neurology going forward so watch this space!

Today's tea was No Lamb kebabs (from Morrisons), tomato cous cous, salad and a homemade vinaigrette dressing 👌

It's finally reading week!!! Very shocked that I am 5 weeks into my second year (halfway through semester 1 already 😱)

The past 5 weeks have been extremely busy with lots of content. Even with all the extra work, I'm enjoying this year even more than last and I'm finding neurology super interesting 😁🧠

With that said, this reading week has come at the right time and I'm ready to relax and recharge. I'm starting things off right by baking some banana muffins with chocolate chips 😍🍌

Banana bread was definitely a thing in the first lockdown so I'm changing things up with banana muffins for lockdown 2.0

Hope everyone is doing ok in the current lockdown, times are hard but we have got each other ❤️

Tonight's menu 😍

Sh*ttake mushroom and vegetable gyozas with pad krapow and jasmine rice 🍚🌶️ All made completely from scratch!! @ Manchester, United Kingdom

Just what I needed after a long day 🥰 hot and spicy soup with homemade gyozas 😍😍

My fave breakfast, it never ever gets old 😍🥑

Plus, avocado is full of healthy fats so it's a great start to the day and really fills you up!

And it only takes 2 mins which is perfect for a busy week night breakfast!! 💞

There's a jacket potato under there I promise 😂

I've never had chili with jacket potato before but it was definitely a hit!!! Absolutely loved it, especially with the Morrisons vegan cheddar cheese on top!!

Happy Friday everyone!!! ✌️

Very much enjoying a chill night with my gal 💞 Popped into Morrisons after uni and came out with these treats 😍 margarita pizza and mozzarella sticks with some olives because why not!!!

Another super exciting tea for me tonight ✌️

Not every meal is gonna be insta perfect but I'm just going to be honest, a lot of my meals are like this at the moment 😂

Thank you all for your suggestions on how to stay healthy while busy. Lots of people suggested a meal plan so I will be putting one together over the weekend for next week ☺️💞

I will also be sharing it with you all incase you're struggling with the same problem!!

Fave comfort food ever = spag bol 🥰😍

I used the mince and I've got to say I'm a big fan, the texture is amazing!!

Good morning 👋 just a cute little bowl of yoghurt and fruit to brighten up your day!

Alpro vanilla Greek style yoghurt with a little vanilla protein powder stirred in. Topped off with raspberries, strawberries and PB 😍

I might branch out and try different nut butters as I always get peanut butter. What would you guys recommend!?

Hey guys 👋 As you may have seen, I've not been using social media as much recently. I've been really stressed getting ready to start back at uni as well as personal issues. But I'm back now, and really appreciate all your support and kind words 💞

Don't forget to look after yourself when you're stressed out, for me that means making a delicious healthy meal!! For today's lunch, I had no lamb kebabs, roasted Mediterranean vegetables and golden rice. I topped it off with some tahini, a wedge of lemon and some fresh parsley 😍🍋🍅🥒❤️

Good morning 🌞 Starting my day off with a high protein breakfast, scrambled tofu on toast! Seasoned with shallots, garlic, turmeric, paprika, salt and pepper 💞

Last nights tea... My new fave boats 😍 so easy to make but still healthy and delicious. I filled mine with loads of salad, bean chilli, avocado and tomato salsa 😍🥑

The biggest bowl of pasta ever 😍 Spaghetti with home made pesto and loads of veg!

Kidney bean fajita boats 😍 this is the first time I've tried using these little boats and I love them!! They are so cute and versatile, I may even try doing a dessert boat soon 😏

For these, I made a kidney bean, red pepper, tomato, chilli and baby corn filling. I topped it with avocado (a must), fresh tomato salsa, corriander and a wedge of lime 🍋🥰

My fave combo, mushroom and truffle risotto with garlic bread 😍

This time I made the risotto with woodland mushrooms and loads of truffle oil and it was amaaaazing 🍚🍄

Tropical porridge bowl for breakfast this morning🍌🍍🥭 I've run out of peanut butter so was forced to branch out from my usual toppings but this might be a new favourite!!

Rolled oats and soy milk porridge topped with vanilla alpro yoghurt, sliced banana, frozen pineapple and frozen mango ☺️ I also added a little maple syrup as I've got a major sweet tooth 😂
