View this post on Instagram

#foodiefriday Tempeh & assorted curried vegetables with beans and beans sprouts for crunch. For those who haven't tried Tempeh before, it works really well in curries and stir fries. Pan fry for a few minutes first them add to your favourite dish, yum!

Hero Nutrient: Selenium

Selenium helps protect our cells from rogue chemical reactions that can occur sometimes (oxidative stress). Best food sources include Brazil nuts, Fish, Turkey, Brown rice and eggs.

Foodie Friday: Chicken Provencale

#foodiefriday My interpretation of Stephanie Alexander's Chicken provencale. Slow cooked with Thyme, Bay leaves, black olives, a splash of wine in a chicken stock and tomato base. We had a win with red capsicum for my kids. They had flatly rejected it for a while, now they are fans again, happy days 😀

Avocado

I love love love avocados.

Containing approx 20 different vitamins and minerals (including more potassium than bananas), Monounsaturated Fatty acids similar to those in olive oil, beneficial fibre and antioxidants, what's not to love?

I try to eat 1/4 of a large avocado or a 1/2 of a small avocado in a salad or my morning smoothie every day

If you haven’t tried avocado in a smoothie - DO IT! it makes your smoothie incredibly creamy!

Foodie Friday: Zingy Quinoa Tabbouleh

#foodiefriday This week I was craving something fresh and with a bit of zing. This Quinoa Tabbouleh hit the spot. Combine parsley, mint, cucumber, tomato and cooked tricolour quinoa. Dress with good olive oil, lemon, S&P and spring onions (my little peeps don't do raw spring onion yet, but throw them in for some extra bite if they are to your taste!)

Food Prep Tips

Food Prep whenever you can. If I have an hour at home, tray bake some vegetables such as these gorgeous mini sweet potatoes and cauliflower florets. Toss in a splash of olive oil, cracked pepper and cumin. Bake at 180 degrees for 45-50min. Once cooled, they freeze really well so can be portioned up for quick lunches, or chopped up ready for an express frittata mid week. Job done 😀

#foodiefriday Whenever you do a traditional roast, always try to cook an extra tray of baked Vege and extra steamed greens. After a crazy day at clinic (like today!) this gets defrosted and eaten with any turkey rissoles I have in the freezer too or the vegetables get chopped up and turned into a quick frittata. Forward plan your food prep 👍
