This is probably the best dal I've ever made and possibly even tasted? (that could be a lie, I could be high on dal right now). This is just the perfect thickness, it's creamy, healthy, rich and because it uses red lentils it cooks up in 15 minutes. So you can definitely have this on the table within 30 minutes of walking through the door. I buy frozen paratha (not healthy but surprisingly dairy-free) for a real treat or serve it with brown rice and a salad. We chucked some b

Crispy smashed garlic? Check. Crispy salty capers? Check. Crispy smokey butter-beans? Check. Ready in 10-15 minutes? Check. This is such a perfect, quick and easy side dish. It doesn't have any sauce so you need it to be accompanying something with a little moisture. i think it would be great on a baked sweet potato and just perfect on a table of mezzes. NUTRITIONAL OVERVIEW BUTTER BEANS (or LIMA BEANS) are and excellent source of molybdenum which is sort of an unknown nutrit

"Vegan? I couldn't be vegan, I love cheese too much." Seems to be the first words you here when you... come out? That's what it feels like anyway. So cheese is what I brings ya!

CUCUMBER! So... easy. CASHEWS are an excellent source of copper and a good source of phosphurus, manganese, m

It's been a tough few weeks here in the Afifi household, Mish Mish is teething. Her mouth has decided that all her molars should to arrive together so night times have been, let's say...tough? Day times have been full of mistakes and each day has rolled in to the next rather messily. It's times like this where I need to step back and look at how I'm eating because this is when breakfast gets eaten at lunch time and is not sufficient to carry me through or give me the strength

How do you like your eggs in the morning? In the form of tofu of course! Face plant. I NEVER thought I'd be writing these words. I mean, scrambled tofu? blurgh. But actually, these are good. They're not eggs, but the scrambled eggy texture is there and flavour is most definitely there. It's not egg flavour, but its an intense flavour that almost makes you forget you're eating tofu disguised as eggs. NUTRITIONAL OVERVIEW TOFU is a complete protein. Source of calcium, manganese

I'm usually too lazy in the mornings to make much for our breakfasts, actually no I'm not lazy, I'm exhausted. Being a mum is hard sometimes, let's face it, being is hard sometimes! But it really only takes a maximum of 10 minutes and is a little bit more exiting than avocado and Marmite on toast (sorry Marmite, they're making me say it!) NUTRITIONAL OVERVIEW AVOCADOS, CHICKPEAS, LIME AND PUMPKIN SEEDS are all sources of protein. AVOCADOS are nutrient dense and although known
