Roasted Garlic, Mushroom & Chestnut Crumble Pie
"Are you having nut roast for Christmas?" Absolutely nut. I don't know why people seem to think that the only veggie option is nut roast. I've never had it, nor do I have the desire to have it. All I can imagine is a dry lump getting stuck in my throat. I am sure there are some decent ones out there but I'll leave them for someone else to eat and I'll stick to my pastry and veg and cheeeeeese please.
Broad Bean & Pea Salad w/ Zingy Dressing
Let's talk about me and my attempt to be fit and healthy. I'm not very good at it. My excuse? Work. The real reason? Lack of motivation/pizza. All the pizza. But also, kinda work. Since coming back from Kenya, on a number of occasions I have said "I don't feel right in my body". Meaning, my bod needs some fruit, veg and vitamins and such. My heart rate needs to be raised a little. And unfortunately the increase in heart rate caused by the anticipation of watching the dominos pizza tracker probably doesn't count as "cardio". I wish. I know the root of the problem is me. But I am about to launch an attack on Social Media....
Green Lentil & Bulgur Wheat Salad
A SALAD?! WHAT IS GOING ON?! It shocked me just as much when I decided a salad is what I wanted to eat for dinner. There's halloumi in it though so its fine. And this isn't one of your "diet" salads, it fills you right up! Especially if your portion sizes are anything like mine. I was pretty keen to post this recipe for two reasons: 1) I would get to utilise the white table in my room along with the ridiculous amount of natural light I get and b) I made this salad for paying customers at my new job! Well it wasn't exactly the same as I had access to ALL the ingredients, but it was similar!
