Venison stew
Stew season is upon us my friends. The rain, cold and cosy fires, at this time of year nothing beats coming home to the delicious aroma of cooking stew. I love stews because you can prep the morning of or night before, stick it all in a slow-cooker, and then come home to a yummy ready-to-go meal.
Brassica Salad - Why we love these veggies
Brassica vegetables, also known as cruciferous vegetables, are my all time favourite foods to incorporate into the diet as nutritional medicine.
Its includes vegetables such as; Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, kale, turnips, radish, horseradish, wasabi, watercress, bok choy and mustard greens.
They are known to help combat a range of health concerns, including hormone imbalance, PMS, skin concerns, cancer, and contain an array of nutrients including like vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, maganese, beta-carotene, potassium and glucosinolates. Brassica vegetables are also a great source of soluble fiber.

Veggie protein Frittata
This frittata is a great excuse to get your daily veggie intake, in a delicious way that the whole family will love. You can use pretty much any vegetables you have lying around. The eggs make it high in protein and it is also gluten and dairy-free.
Frittatas are my go-to when I need to prepare meals for the week, it freezes well, and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Autumn pumpkin soup
With our days getting shorter and evenings getting cosier, Autumn is upon us, and it's time to start preparing for the change of season.
That means eating seasonally and locally which means you pay less and support your local growers!
Root veggies are great for nourishing soups and stews. One of my favourite soups to make is pumpkin soup.
disordered eating or eating disorder?
Our society has unrealistic, underweight body ideals, especially for young women. Added to this are fashion and beauty trends, social media influence, and an abundance of food choices.
Disordered eating, known as Orthorexia Nervosa, has a continuum that is broad enough that most people could experience some form of disordered eating, making it hard to identify.
