Spiced Kale Chips 🌿 🌿🌿 So Kale is errywhere in 'health food land'... And Kale Chips ain't nothin' new.... So adding some flavour funk to the basics can be a nice change and a good way to make kale an exciting tasty side dish or snack. Add some nice oil, sea salt, some spices and a quick oven roast to make kale sing! Try walnut oil, salt and dukkha.... OR.... Chilli oil, sea salt and smoked paprika... OR.... Olive oil and zatar mix....below is a simple combo I often use... But go on and EXPERIMENT! 😊 ---------------------------------------------- - 2 big handfuls of kale leaves, trimmed, washed and dried well - drizzle of extra virgin olive oil - pinch Himalayan Pink salt - pinch cayenne pepper - pinch white pepper Preheat oven to 150C. Put everything in a bowl and mix around with your hands to coat leave evenly. Spread leaves on a large baking tray and roast for about 15-20 mins until crunchy.... Boom! Done!

Super Simple Soup # 11: Butternut, Lentil & Kale 🍵💪🏽✔️ We are in Melbourne at the moment and ever second person I meet with feels like they are 'coming down with something'.... Melbourne is quite chilly at the mo... When winter hits, M-town don't play. So I hit up some farmers markets and bought some garlic and kale and other super food winter helpers. I made this mega chunky, tasty little number to help ward off and sick vibes headed my way... This goes down a treat with some nice crunchy fresh bread drizzled in olive oil and a nice glass of red 🍷🍞 will definitely warm the cockles! ------------------------------------------------ - 1 small butternut squash cubed - 2 med potatoes peeled, cubed - 2 med carrots into chunks - 1 large brown onion diced - 6 gloves garlic finely diced - 2 large handfuls curly kale trimmed, washed, chopped - 1 handful flat leaf parsley washed chopped - 1 can brown lentils drained and washed well - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 veggie stock cube - sea salt - cracked pepper - water Sauté onion, garlic, carrot and parsley in oil for about 3 mins. Add potato and carrot and just cover all with water. Crumble in stock cube and bring to boil. Cover and lower to a simmer until veg is cooked and potato and pumpkin start to just breakdown to thicken the soup. Add kale and lentils and cook for about 3 mins until kale is just cooked. Season as desired and MUNCH! 😎 The big choon is 'CMYK' by James Blake 👌 #kale #soup #lentils #butternut #pumpkin #vegansoup #vegan #vegansofig #whatveganseat #veganfood #veganfoodshare #veganshare #plantbased #food #instafood #instagood #healthfood #health #healthy #healthyfood #realfood #lovemusickitchen

B R E A K F A S T ☀️ the most important meal of the day! This meal kicks off everything, so make it tasty, healthy, nutritious and exciting. You needn't stick to the same old... Try switching it up! Whilst living in Sydney I used to smash an incredible Lebanese 'breakfast pizza' during the colder months... This here is my homemade version. Super simple - Lebanese flat bread, good quality extra virgin olive oil and Za'atar herb mix. (I have given my recipe for Za'atar in a previous post!) serve with warm hummus and black olives... Break the Breakky monotony and get with it 👌🏽 #Zaatar #breakfast #goodmorning #Lebanese #pizza #vegan #vegansofig #veganfood #veganfoodshare #plantbased #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #healthy #health #healthyfood #food #instagood #instafood #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #winter #realfood

Super Simple Soup # 14: Carrot + Orange 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊 I'm a big fan of funkin' up the basics! Carrot soup is an oldie but a goodie - made right, it's really clean and very healthy. This is my version, simple, clean and quick, with a hint of orange! The #orange really lifts it on the flavour front as well as nutritionally. This is a great winter warmer and tip top detox soup! -------------------------------------------- - 500g carrots, washed + chopped - 1 brown onion diced - 3 garlic cloves diced - 1 orange, juice + zest - extra virgin olive oil - water - sea salt - pepper Heat oil in a large saucepan and sweat the carrots, onion and garlic until soft. Cover with water (only just) and bring to boil. Lower heat, season with salt and pepper and cover with lid, allowing to simmer for about 20 mins or until carrots are soft and starting to break up. Remove from heat and stir in orange juice and zest. Whizz in a blender or with a hand held soup mix. Voila!

Super simple soup # 15: Tomato + Basil 🍅🌿 Growing up I HATED tomato soup. Of all the soups, It was the 'boring' one. I recently made my own homemade Passata for use as a pasta sauce base... From that I thought I'd try a more 'soupy' version and this was the result. It's very very tasty and super clean. The addition of red capsicum adds the to flavour body and helps up the nutritional content as capsicum is very high in vitamin C ... Making this a great nourish winter soup. This could definitely be used as a pasta sauce base as well. Simple + versatile + yummy! Great for winter cleansing or if your not... Enjoy it with yummy fresh garlic bread and a glass of red 🍷 ------------------------------------------ - 500g ripe Roma tomatoes washed + diced - 1 brown onion diced - 2 cloves garlic diced - 2 carrots washed + diced - 1 celery stalk washed + diced - 1 red capsicum washed, cored + diced - 1 big handful fresh basil leaves chopped - sea salt - pepper - 2 cups water - extra virgin olive oil Heat oil in a large saucepan, sweat celery, onion, carrot and garlic until soft. Add tomatoes and capsicum and season with salt and pepper. Add water and stir. Bring to boil, then lower heat and cover, cooking for a further 10 mins. Remove lid and add half the basil. Cook for 2 more mins uncovered. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning to taste. Whizz in a blender or with a hand held soup mix. Add the last of the basil and stir to distribute. Bang bang!

Super Simple Soup# 16: Fennel + Pear🍐 So I am on day 2 of a cleanse right now and this was this evening's meal. Fennel + Pear is an AMAZING combination. The subtle aniseed-y-ness of the fennel kisses the sweetness of the pear so beautifully! Fennel is great for gut health (drink fennel tea to sooth an upset stomach!) and pear is one of the top fibre fruits! This cleanse focuses on the stomach. The stomach is the fuel processing centre of the body, so it makes sense that when our gut is healthy, we function far better overall. I do not believe in starving yourself to cleanse at all... Just clean up your act 👊🏽 Lots of clean cooking, fibrous fruit and vegetables, juices, herbal tea and loads of water. Cleaning isn't just something for the warmer months or lead up to a bikini jaunt. Giving the system a break for a week or two, a couple of times a year is a great idea. Allowing it to repair and restore to optimum health. ----------------------------------------------- Heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large pot. Sauté 1 diced onion and 2 diced cloves garlic for a few mins. Add 1 medium bulb of fennel chopped into chunks. Stir and cook for a few mins to soften slightly. Add 2 large cored, unpeeled pears chopped into chunks. Cover with water (only just covered) and add a little pink Himalayan salt and cracked pepper. Bring to boil, then lower heat and cover, simmering until pears start breaking up. Remove from heat and whizz with a handheld soup mix / blender and serve with crushed walnuts and a drizzle of olive oil. Fennel + Pear + Walnut = 💚👍🏽 The track is 'Free Ride' by Nick Drake... This is from the golden oldie album called Pink Moon... It's amazing!

Rice Noodle Salad + Tamari Sesame Dressing 🍜 Similar to a stir fry in that it uses the same kinda stuff, just some slight variations to ensure optimum healthiness! Simple and clean and ready in a flash! This is a great one to make a big batch of to have for lunches on the go through the week... And it's great hot or cold! ----------------------------------------------- In a large bowl pour boiling water over a small pack of vermicelli rice noodles, set aside until they are completely soft, then drain well. Wash, trim and chop some snow peas, carrot, red onion, spring onion and broccoli. Bring a big pot of water to the boil and blanch all veg for a min then remove and plunge/ rinse in cold water.

Quinoa Salads 🌱🌱🌱🌱 Using quinoa as a salad base is dope skool! You can take quinoa is loads of different directions taste wise. It's subtle nutty base is perfect for taking on bigger flavours and it's great for 'bulking' out a meal without bulking out your belly! So incredibly nutritious... Making good quinoa is a kitchen must! This is my fail safe way to cook quinoa... ----------------------------------------------Fill the kettle up and boil. Heat a large pot on the stove. Add quinoa (I don't use measurements often, I go by eye - 1 cup dried makes about 3 cooked cups) so pour to suit the amount of people your serving... Bearing in mind whatever you add to your salad will bulk it out further). Toast your dried quinoa in the med hot pan until it's golden, keep it moving continuously to prevent burning. Lower heat and add kettle water so that the water sits about 2cm above the quinoa. Cover and allow to simmer until water is absorbed and the quinoa has uncurled. Remove from heat and allow to stand for 5-10 mins. Fluff with a fork and get salad-ing To this you could add different combos of... - seeds like sunflower, pepitas, sesame etc - legumes like chickpeas, cannellini beans, lentils - fruit like chopped green grapes, pomegranate, dried sultana or apricots - veggies like red onion, cherry tomatoes, grated carrot, spring onion, green peas etc - herbs like chopped mint, coriander, parsley or basil - dressings like olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon, sea salt + cracked pepper... 👊🏽 Get experimenting 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 The choon is 'Berry Farms' by Meshell Ndegeocello 🔥🔥🔥 #quinoa #goodfood #realfood #salad #vegan #veganshare #vegansofig #veganfood #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #plantbased #veganfoodporn #lunch #dinner #instagood #instafood #food

Freestyle Curry + Rice Noodle 🍜 Making a simple curry paste is super easy and much cleaner than the jar stuff. Pick your curry style (Indian, Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian, Caribbean etc), have a Google and look at the flavour palette of that country... What are the common ingredients? Experiment by making up dry spice mixes or wet pastes by whizzing a few bits up in a food processor. Don't be scared! Get creative! Below is a quick Indinessian inspired curry that went down a treat! --------------------------------------------- In a food processor whiz 1 red Birdseye chilli, 1 lemongrass stalk (white bit only), 4 garlic cloves, 1cm chunk fresh ginger, 1 tsp ground turmeric, 1 tbs coriander seeds, 1 onion, 1 tsp coconut sugar, 2 Tbs soy sauce. Chuck this paste in a hot pan with a little sesame oil. Cook for 1 min. Add 1 can coconut milk, one can water and bring to boil. Add cubed potato + carrot. Some brocoli, green peas, snowpeas + Bok Choy, Serve on flat rice noodles with fresh chilli, spring onion + sesame seeds ✌🏽️ This banging tune is called 'Sista' by vocal powerhouse Rachelle Ferrell 🎤🎤🎤 #curry #currypaste #spice #vegan #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #veganfood #veganfoodporn #veganfood #whatveganseat #plantbased #asianfood #food #instagood #instafood #healthy #health #healthyfood #healthychoices #healthyeating #cleaneating #eatclean #healthyliving #chilli #coconutmilk
