Not Breakfast Salad
Breakfast rice, nuts & fruits. I've adapted this from The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook. The original calls for protein rich quinoa, but I opt for brown rice. Both options are gluten free and the nuts add protein regardless. Eat before a beach holiday or after splitting a bottle of wine (plus some reallyContinue reading “Not Breakfast Salad”

Maybe I should make something.” Me (last inside voice) “I could useContinue reading “Friday Fried Rice”

So when I read the latest stats on food waste, the mantle of responsibility weighed heavy upon me. We toss 40% of our food annually. That’sContinue reading “Sweet Potato Cottage Pie”
