Favourite type of Noods: Quick and Satisfying 💁🏼‍♀️

Now we’re not always used to pairing curry and noodles together but what 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 combo 👏🏻

Thai Yellow Curry Noodles with coconut milk, aubergine, courgette, peppers, mushrooms, and chicken. Topped with spring onions, chives, and peanuts.

1. Fry or roast your veggies and any protein you want with onions, garlic, and ginger then put to the side.
2. Fry off your curry paste of choice and add in a tin or two of coconut milk and cook until slightly thickened. Add a bit of water if you want but don’t overdo it, no one likes a thin curry 💁🏼‍♀️.
3. Cook rice noodles as per packet instructions.
4. Mix together and top with your fave toppings and enjoy 💃🏼

I used frozen veg and two tins of coconut milk which made 5 portions of curry, 4 of which went into the freezer to save for the week. As always, great way of using leftover veg and reducing food waste!

Let me know what you think, mad love ❤️

The deadline for registering to vote is 23:59 tonight. You can still apply for a proxy or postal vote after, but you need to make sure that you are registered first.

This is especially important for first time voters or people who have moved house.

For those who are unsure for who to vote for, the https://uk.isidewith.com quiz can be really useful to understand which party you align with or https://tactical.vote to specifically aim to reduce the risk of certain parties winning.

For educating yourself, I highly recommend the and podcasts (they are both left leaning, I don’t have recommendations for right leaning podcasts).

On socials, you should definitely follow and as they give a fantastic overview, as well as

When I say that I studied food politics, people would ask me what that even was. But both your choice and your access to food, whether it healthy, ethical, or sustainable is political.

Perfect example, I used to buy Sabra hummus, it was expensive but delicious. However as an Israeli product, and given the sanctions we put on Russia for their invasion of Ukraine, I no longer feel comfortable purchasing it.

What you purchase and where is a political choice (whether you like it or not). Now we can’t do everything perfectly, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. So why buy something harmful when you can make it yourself?

RECIPE ☀️

1. Throw one cans-worth of chickpeas in the oven on 200C having seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, and zaatar.
2. Empty another can of chickpeas and water into a pan and boil with 1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda, 2-3 cloves of garlic, and 1 tsp salt. Boil until soft. Add more water if you need to.
3. Empty contents into a blender and add tahini and lemon juice.
4. Spoon on to a plate and add some olive oil, seasonings, and top with the roasted chickpeas.
5. Enjoy ☺️

You can also then donate the money you would have spent on expensive hummus. Everything helps ❤️‍🩹

Now that spring and summer are starting to peak through, we’re all getting back into gardening and houseplants.

As you know I’m all for this, but sometimes our methods may actually be damaging our plant babies, as well as our planet.

Whilst chemical fertilisers do help get a bigger plant, in the long run it may be doing some damage.

Have a go with more organic options, protect your plants, protect your soil, and help the planet. Triple win.

Any questions, hmu. 💚

The one, the only, NAN’S TRAITOR PASTA ❤️

Now, contrary to *some* opinions, this pasta is your perfect quick meal. 15 mins. Bish bash bosh done.

1. Cook your pasta (shorter pasta works best but you do you)
2. Whilst pasta is cooking, chop spinach and tomatoes.
3. When pasta is cooked, mix in spinach, tomatoes, tuna, mayo, salt, and pepper to taste.

Swap in mackerel or salmon for an oily fish, or other salad veg if you don’t like spinach or tomatoes.

Cheap. Quick. Healthy.
What more could you want for a meal?

My nan used to make this meal for me and my sister (sans veg) when I was a kid and it will always be my go to if I’m ever sad or stressed or in need of comfort. Post nutrition degree I did add the veg cause even great things can be improved.

It then had to be renamed due to some unapproving Italian opinions (who knew you’re not meant to add mayo to pasta- madness, I know).

Let me know what you think!

Fish and Leftover Veg Massaman Curry 🥘

One of the fantastic things about this dish, despite being absolutely delicious, is that you can be really loose about what you add into it.

Last week was anti-food waste week. We’re all guilty of not finishing all the veg we buy, in fact vegetables are often the most wasted foods. Curries such as this one can be a great way of getting odd bits of veg in.

Massaman Curry:
- vegetable oil
- 1-2 onions
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 thumb of ginger
- Massaman Curry Paste
- Coconut Milk
- Various veg (I used carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and aubergines)
- Fish

1. Fry onion, garlic, and ginger
2. Add in veggies and stir-fry
3. Add in curry paste and coconut milk
4. Place the fish in the curry and cover until cooked.
5. Season with lime and fish sauce
6. Top with spring onions, sesame seeds, and chives

Serve with rice or noodles and enjoy ☺️

What does health look like to you?

When I speak to clients, they often tell me that they want to be “healthier” without necessarily being able to identify what that actually looks like for them. Does that mean eating better? Does that mean having a different weight? Does that mean being happier?

Media will often make you think that achieving x and y behaviours will give you “health”, but health is much wider than that.

If you hoping to improve your health, have a think about what that looks for you and how you might achieve that.

I’m currently taking on new clients so if this seems like something which interests you, then drop me a DM.

Mad love ❤️

Over the moon that my dissertation is featuring in the blog! As you know I loved writing it and found it so interesting!

Mad love ❤️

The last few weeks have been hard. Through a series of unfortunate events, I have felt sadder than I have done in a long time.

The feeling of wanting to never get out of bed, but also not want to come home. To be feeling uneasy around people but also desperately lonely when on your own.

I have been blessed with the ability to make strong friendships, but reaching out can be really difficult. The fear of being needy or clingy. The fear of rejection if they say no is almost tangible.

BUT THIS IS JUST BU****IT.
Some toxic s**t you've no doubt learnt somewhere.
IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP.
Though there are some diamonds who reach out, for the most of us, we're busy in our own lives that sometimes it's so easy to miss those nuanced signs.

Speak to friends, speak to family, even speak to hotlines such as 0300 123 3393

If it's an ongoing issue, maybe consider getting out and joining a community, be that sports, or crafts, even religion if that's what you're into. Looking into therapy would also likely be very valuable.

Just don't suffer on your own.
As much as you feel it, you're never on your own.
(Especially not when there are 8 billion people on the planet 😂)

Big love ❤️

Three faces of a library break;

5 weeks to go until dissertation is due so this will likely be my home for 5 weeks more.

Been making me think about the grind. I've mentioned before about the risk of the grind and its links to burnout, and questioning whether that effort is all worth it, especially when it's not even for yourself but for someone else.

But the grind for yourself is a different kind of grind, those long hours are worth it cause you have the faith that they'll pay dividends later.
That being said, no grind is worth your health.
Take those breaks, eat good food, be with people who make you laugh.
Also, let's not lie, winter is coming if it's not here already, grab that last bit of vitamin D wherever you can 😂
