Burrata served with roasted tomatoes, basil oil and sunshine. Watched the Italian episode of normal people last night, and now hankering for bike rides in the Italian countryside wearing flowy dresses. Until then I shall eat Burrata instead! Recipe as follows: 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes 1 tsp duck fat, sub out for olive oil if you prefer. Handful of fresh basil 1 clove of garlic 100g burrata Salad greens Toasted pine nuts to serve Heat the oven to 180c and melt fat. Coat the tomatoes in the fat and season. Roast for 30 mins In a blender, add basil, juice from 1 lemon, garlic and 2tbsp of olive oil Add a handful of salad greens to the plate and top with roasted tomatoes Place burrata on top and drizzle with the basil oil and toasted pinenuts. Pretend you’re in Italy and 21 again. Enjoy xx #summersalads #saladseason #alfresco #roastedveggies #nourish #eatarainbow #lunchtime

And breathe. Taking a few gentle breaths, outside in nature if possible, is one of the best ways to help bring your body back into the parasympathetic mode and out of stress. I like to grab a few moments throughout the day, with a gentle reminder to myself, to just breathe. Hope it helps. Enjoy the sunshine xxx #mothernature #stressrelief #breathwork #forestbathing #nature #nourishyourbody #parasympatheticnervoussystem

Dreamy breakfast this morning. Making the most of not having to homeschool today. Last week felt a little bumpy. I’m sure we’ll settle into it, but not having to do I.T support at 8.45 today was lovely! This is a recipe from @we_are_food I’ve been coming back to cook books I’ve had for a long time, and this recipe for a fruit plate with a tahini dressing caught my eye. There was much suspicion over tahini at breakfast but it’s a beautiful flavour that elevates an ordinary bowl of fruit so I’d urge you to try it. Happy Sunday everyone. Tahini dressing: 2 tablespoons of tahini 2 tsps of honey 1 tsp of cinnamon Juice from 1 lemon 2 tbsps of water, more if needed Add ingredients to a jam jar and give a good shake. #sundaybreakfast #sundaymornings #breakfastgoals #nutrition #wellness #nohomeschooltoday

Little wins today included not appearing in my daughter’s teams chat with her tutor wearing my pjs and then having to silently back out into the garden and this salad! It’s a quick one to knock together in between all the many, many tasks we’re suddenly juggling. Don’t skip the mint, it really brings it together Hope you enjoy xx Halloumi and Quinoa salad 1 packet of red and white quinoa, toasted in the frying pan until warm 3 slices of halloumi fried Handful to walnuts, chopped finely Half a cucumber, chopped Pomegranate seeds Mint, finely chopped 1/2 lemon zested, save for the juice Heat quinoa and transfer to a bowl.

Slightly distracted this morning and have only managed to take a picture of half of this smoothie! Probably an accurate reflection of how I’m feeling today!! Juggle juggle. This is a blueberry hemp smoothie I knocked up quickly this morning for us all before I walk kids and dog. One tip I’ve found useful for isolating is to try and differentiate week days from weekends by keeping to a routine Monday to Friday. The kids are already on holiday but keeping to a schedule has been a lifesaver. Keen to know how you’re making the weekend feel special. Happy Friday everyone xxx Recipe for 2: 2 cups of almond milk 1 tsp of almond butter 1 cup of frozen blueberries 1 small banana Handful of spinach 2 dessert spoonfuls of hemp seeds #smoothierecipes #nourishyourself #nutrition #startyourdayright #wellness #thejuggleisreal #fridayvibes

Happy Sunday all, at least I think it’s Sunday 🤪. Using up the last of the fresh vegetables today and decided to make this leek and butternut squash soup. Soup is a great way to use vegetables that are maybe slightly past their prime. This one is from Delia again, my go to for soups as she has such an extensive collection. Happy Sunday everyone xx Recipe: 4 leeks, washed and chopped 1 onion roughly chopped 150g approx of butternut squash 1 tsp butter 1 tsp dried parsley 850ml chicken stock 250ml of milk Melt the butter in a large saucepan and tip in the chopped vegetables. Season and add dried herbs. Leave to sweat on a gentle heat for 15 minutes. Add stock and milk and simmer vegetables for 20 mins Blend. Top with a dash of cream and fresh, chopped parsley #soup #fibre #nothingwasted #nourishyourself #moreveggiesplease #familyfood
