🥬 MY VEGGIE-WASH ROUTINE has looked like this f

🥬 MY VEGGIE-WASH ROUTINE has looked like this for the past 2 months - quite different to the way I prioritized things previously, when I used to advocate not worrying about a bit of dirt (if organic) to help support a diverse #gutmicrobiome.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While this takes more time than a quick rinse, I don't consider it a drag or drain on my time. If anything, these last few months have made it clearer then ever how fortunate any of us are to have the time and resources to take any of these sorts of lengths to support our health.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, I make it fun. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I turn-on some energizing tunes, and consider it a mini arm workout. 💪 I think about our ancestors back in the day who had to do WAY more than this just to eat a meal. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is it overkill? Maybe. I've done my research and weighed up decisions like this during self-iso, and I make each one mindfully considering the cost to benefit balance, which is a personal decision (for all of us). ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So if you haven't been washing your produce like this, or if it feels like too much for you, don't worry about it. We're all doing the best we can with what we have, and these last few months have been crazy, right?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
👊⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At the end of the day this only forms a small factor of the overall strategies and techniques for how we can support our own and each other's health right now. ⁣
⁣
I can't speak to everyone's circumstances, but what I can speak to is my personal experience, and sharing ways that I'm finding the positives during these days is my way of giving to you, in hopes you can find some too ✨⁣⁣
⁣
P.s. this is about washing it away down the drain, not about killing it. Even spirits wouldn't be enough to practically do that... and a waste of perfectly good cocktail ingredients 😏... so a vinegar soak certainly ain't gonna cut it 😉 ⁣

Now more than ever I feel a deep sense of apprecia

Now more than ever I feel a deep sense of appreciation for my food, where it came from, and the people involved in getting to to me. ⁣
⁣
Given my experience with my own health, and my work helping others to improve theirs, I’m acutely aware of how fortunate we are to even have the choice to *choose* what we eat.⁣
⁣
I know that it may feel hard to find positives right now, so I’m sharing this appreciation in case it’s something you might feel a little grateful for too, in our current crazy circumstance. (Even though yes, I am weary of all the toast and pantry staples I’ve been eating 💁🏻‍♀️)⁣
⁣
What’s something that this season has helped you feel extra grateful for? Let’s fill this little corner of the internet with some encouraging positivity ✨⁣

10 years ago, picking up my well-worn kitchen note

10 years ago, picking up my well-worn kitchen notebook, I scribbled down a recipe idea for an Anzac Biscuit that felt and tasted like the original, but with a few nutritious ingredient substitutions that meant I could actually eat them once again.⁣
⁣
So I went about creating a cookie recipe without gluten, grains, dairy, cane sugar or eggs.⁣
⁣
I didn’t want another year to pass where I’d miss out on the Anzac Day tradition, having spent prior years and holidays feeling a little like the odd-one-out because of my dietary needs (this was well before convenience health foods and food blogs were abundant). ⁣
⁣
Because I believe that real food doesn’t have to be a sacrifice. In convenience, in flavour, or in fun.⁣
⁣
I believe that you can live a full and busy life and still eat well. You can have dietary requirements and still be social. You can prioritize your health without sacrificing taste and satisfaction.⁣
⁣
There’s a middle ground. And it can be a fun and fulfilling one that nourishes all aspects of your health, because it’s not just about the food, it’s about how it affects your whole life. ⁣
⁣
Can I get an amen!? 🙌⁣

THIS 🍲 👈🏼 When I feel overwhelmed, I do this. When I feel short on time, I do this. When I want a little reset for my brain and body, I do this. When I want to comfort friends and family, welcome new babies, celebrate special milestones - I do this.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
I get in the kitchen and cook. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
My go-to is a big batch of comforting stew. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Why would spending time cooking actually help with overwhelm or having a full schedule? ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
It's like saying to myself 'you're worth it' when I open the fridge to nourishing, comforting food already done for me. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Cozying on up to a warm bowl of homemade food is like salve to the soul at the end of a long day.
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Friends, when times are feeling uncertain and scary, one thing we can do is look after ourselves just a little more, and it's simple things like this that can do just that.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣

These are not just your ordinary paleo waffles... they were delicious, but they represent something bigger. ✨⁣⁣

For International Women’s Day, I want to recognise the women leading with integrity, intelligence, independence, generosity, flexibility, light-heartedness and self-awareness... ⁣to name a few.
⁣
Thank you incredible women for embodying these traits amongst your families, friends and communities. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
To the women who have each other's backs even behind the scenes, when things get a little messy, and not just when the camera’s flashing. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Here's to the kind of woman who has your back so hard that she'll get a dedicated #glutenfreetoaster for her house and label it just for you. Let’s endeavor to show that kind of support for our fellow women, in whatever form it unfolds. (Ps thanks Mom 😉)⁣⁣⁣
