It’s not just good for us on Mondays either Rosie. Here’s an article from John Hopkins Medicine sharing that it’s an antioxidant powerhouse. No more encouragement needed here! Was a particularly mad Monday here today.
‘Pancake Day Pancakes‘ from the BOSH Boys. It’s been a while since we’ve used their recipes and it won’t be so long until we do again. Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday was the occasion. SO simple, 4 ingredients, ready in 5 mins. Who said healthy food is hard? (we didn’t use the caster sugar, the sweetness from the fruit and maple syrup was easily enough.)
There is absolutely no point anyone asking us who Dr Liz O’Riordan featured on her ‘X’ feed last weekend. It’s a celebrity, with a young family, and cancer. They felt their hand was forced and had to ‘go public’ with their news. If you don’t know who it is, you won’t be hearing it here. Respect. Cancer‘s enough to deal with on its own.
British surgeon Dr Liz chose another way, she has been very publicly sharing her 3 breast cancer diagnoses. You can find her story here.
‘When we spend more on a pint of beer than a chicken we know there’s something wrong with our food system’ said Professor Tim Spector on his social media feeds last weekend. This article from the Daily Telegraph shares the real effects of the ever increasing consumption of cheaply produced meat: pollution, land requirements, not to mention the wretched existence most of the animals suffer.
Ed Winters is a young man who’s well versed in debating the subject of eating meat. His latest book is entitled: ‘How to Argue with a Meat Eater (and win every time). Pulling no punches there. Here he is as a guest on the Plant Based News podcast we feature on our site.
‘But where do you get your protein?’ That ‘old chestnut’ again: (they have 2g protein per 100g by the way). These legumes are SO easy to incorporate into our diets: black bean chilli, lentils as a base for pretty much anything, hemp seeds often go in our smoothies/porridge, pumpkin seeds in bread/on salads, peas with rice dishes and chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus, which we whizz up in 2 mins. It isn’t hard. It really isn’t.
We’ve cooked a couple of recipes from Holy Cow Vegan this week. Loved this butternut squash curry. They could well be making an appearance alongside 1000’s of healthy recipes on our extensive resource.
If you know, you know. The significance of this is enormous – feeling good! It’s the ‘little things’. An empty laundry basket is a rarity round here, celebrating the (small) wins. And the joy (albeit temporarily).
