Lunch today is some cold potatoes, baby avocados and salsa. Super simple but so delicious! Did you know that cold potatoes are an awesome prebiotic?
I was so pleased that this batch of baby avo’s have turned out to be perfect (which any one in the uk can attest to is a rarity. Most avocados you buy either stay hard or go brown and gross before you can eat them)
I had two as they are so small (about the size of a plum) and who ever begrudged a girl some healthy fats!?

I love cooking big batches of potatoes and sweet potatoes for days when I’m not in the mood to cook but still want a healthy carby hit

Healthy af spaghetti bolognese for 2.

Sauce
1 medium carrot
1 stork of celery
1 small onion
1 tbs garlic (or more if you are a garlic lover like me)
1 can lentils or about 1 ½ cups soy mince
1 tbs dried Italian herbs
1 tbs tomato purè
1 can tinned tomatoes
2 tsps miso

(Optional)
1 tbs liquid amino (I use maggi liquid seasoning)
½ tbs chilli ( I used West Indian chilli sauce)
¼ cup red wine

Method

Dice onion, celery and carrot + mince garlic

Put onion + garlic in a nonstick saucepan with aprox 2 tbs of water

Sweat of onion and garlic until soft (if things start to stick just add a little more water)

Add in the carrot and celery and cook down until tender (again if things stick just add a little water)

Stick in your mince/ drained lentils and give a mix around

Put in all the other ingredients apart from the tinned tomatoes and mix

Add tinned tomatoes and mix thoroughly then turn heat down and simmer for 30mins-1hr stirring occasionally

I served it with buckwheat penne, steamed kale, ½ an avocado and some nutritional yeast

Tried the violife “halloumi”. Tasted the same as all the regular violife cheese with a firmer texture but hey who hates eating a bock of fried cheese

So it’s bank holiday and I am recovering from a day at a food fair in which I might have had more raspberry cider than is my usual want so an elegant brunch of spaghetti hoops on toast was in order

So I have made a giant vat of porridge to have this week. This is my favourite flavour which is oatmeal raisin cookie. I did enough for about 7 days or for a family of 4 for 3 days

Ingredients
6 cups plant milk ( it doesn’t really matter but I used almond milk
2 cups oats
1- 1 ½ raisins
3 tea spoons cinnamon
¼ ground ginger
1/8 tea spoon all slice
2-4 tea spoons vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons stevia
1-4 tablespoons maple syrup

Method
Stick it all the ingredients apart from the stevia and syrup pot at the same time and bring to the boil the simmer on low until it’s your preferred consistency ( I like it slightly looser but I think that’s more a uk thing. If you rather a thicker consistency just reduce the liquid slightly and cook a little longer.

Stir it every so often and tip into a container
cool.

Ps. I have just finished watching land of hope and glory on YouTube and it was so informative and heart wrenching ✌

So Lidl has vegan options this week .
I went a bit mad…..

There is falafel, plain “chicken”, seasoned “chicken”, tofu, “mince” and a bunch of other stuff. All under £2 so cheaper than the usual suspects for uk peeps!

Sunday cake. I tried yet another chocolate covered Katie recipe but not gonna lie, this turned out a little disappointing. It may have a small amount to do with the fact I ( being ever observant) used buckwheat flour instead of spelt . I will now have to keep making carrot cakes until I am satisfied with the results haha. Bright side is its gluten free I guess!
Will keep you posted.

It’s finally time to show the world my new body, I’ll never be able to fully explain how difficult this journey has been or how hard I have worked to achieve this. Full reveal video of me going from 100lbs to my new self is on YouTube.com/c/twothornedroseofficial

All I wanted was a sports bra that zipped because the one my surgeon gave me is too loose on me now. Mission failed.
