🥶🥶🥶 Team Winter Warming Recipes 😋😋😋

Today's drool-worthy recipe drop is courtesy of Dr Jake, or more accurately, Dr Jake's Fiancée's Grandma... it's who you know 😜

Sri Lankan Spicy Chicken Curry

My Favourite winter recipe would have to be my fiancée’s Grandma's Chicken Curry. It reminds me of cold nights sitting around their dining room table with the whole family, eating this warm spicy chicken curry to warm us all up.

Ingredients:
Combination of chicken breast, thigh and drumsticks (allow at least 250g per person)
1 large onion
1-2 tbsp of curry powder
1 tbsp of chilli powder
Handful of curry leaves (from good fresh grocers)
Thumb size k**b of ginger, grated
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tin diced tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
2-3 cloves
Fresh green chilli chopped (to taste)
4 cardamom pods, smashed
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
2 tbsp white vinegar

Wash and pat chicken dry. Add salt and curry powder to the chicken pieces in a bowl and mix and leave to marinate
Heat ghee or oil in a large casserole pot.
Add onion, chilli, cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and curry leaves and sauté for a few minutes.
Add ginger and garlic and sauté quickly.
Add chilli powder, curry powder and turmeric, coat onions for a few minutes, add a splash of water to mix well.
Add chicken and coat in sauté mix for a few minutes.
Add tomatoes and vinegar and let tomatoes cook down until the juices create a sauce.
Lower heat and add 2 cups of water, cover and simmer for 35-45 minutes.

Serve with rice (and yogurt if too spicy) and enjoy!

🥶🥶🥶 Team Member Recipes Cont... 😋😋😋

There isn't a meal much more comforting and nostalgic than Savoury Mince (it reminds me of my Grandma and what we'd eat at her house when I was small) and Dr Ti has a cracker of a recipe for you to try that's great for throwing rando fridge leftovers and veggies into.

Savoury Mince

1. Fry up diced carrot, onion, zucchini and celery until soft.
2. Add mince (approx. 500g) and brown.
3. Add beef stock (1L), enough to cover the mince, and then as it simmers, add more so it doesn't dry out.
4. Add 2 tbs Worcestershire sauce and 1 tbs curry powder to taste.
5. Add can of mini potatoes and simmer for 30 to 40 mins, stirring from time to time and topping up with the beef stock.
6. Towards the end of cooking, add frozen peas, corn and green beans. Season with salt and pepper.

Once cooked through, serve with rice or pasta. Enjoy!

🥶🥶🥶 Thaw your insides from the Winter chill with recipes from the pracs at Movement Studio 😋😋😋

Dr Erin's Coconut Lemon Chicken Soup.

This recipe is my go-to for warming me up from the inside out. It's great for immunity and fighting inflammation and I can usually get the whole family to eat it!

2-inch k**b fresh ginger
Good heaped tsp of turmeric or 1 inch fresh
3-4 cloves of garlic
2 spring onions
1 red chilli
1litre of chicken stock/home made/bone broth
400g coconut milk
1-2 lemons juice (depends on your taste for lemon)
2 tsp of coconut sugar
2 tbsp of fish sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
200-300g of shredded chicken

I also love to chuck in some greens - broccoli, beans, brussel sprouts and mushrooms all go really well in this soup. Sometimes I add a handful of vermicelli noodles too!

Prepare your shredded chicken prior to assembling the soup.
Finely chop the ginger, garlic, chilli and onions and sweat in a large saucepan with the turmeric, sugar and a slug of olive oil (or your preferred neutral cooking oil).
Add the stock carefully (it may spit initially) and then follow with the coconut milk, fish sauce and lemon juice.
Bring everything to the boil and then turn down to a simmer and add the shredded chicken and any vegetables or extras. Season with salt and pepper and serve while steaming in big bowls.

My other go-to winter comforts while I'm slurping my soup -
A good old blanket in the couch!
Crank the diffuser with citrus essential oils.
I try to meal plan warming foods like soups, tea, coffee and stews.
Also - fresh air! Rug up in all the layers for a nice walk in the cold fresh air is good for the body and the soul.

Stay warm and see you in the studio - Dr Erin 😁

o v e r w h e l m

The feeling of ‘Overwhelm’ is a symptom of an over-excited nervous system, in particular the fight/flight centre of our brain.

This fight/flight response is something that we need to stay alive and function; we would die without it (if you’ve ever got up from a chair too quickly and felt woozy or even fainted that’s because your fight/flight centre wasn’t working properly!)

Our bodies respond to stimulus, like pain or public speaking (aka stress) and this triggers an ‘up’ response (fight-flight) or a ‘down’ response (rest-digest). The catch is that over time our nervous system can become sensitive to certain stimulus (again, stress) and this cranks up the reflex to fight and/or flight, which we perceive as ‘overwhelm’.

So now we know that overwhelm is triggered by a 100% normal and essential physiological response, we can now practice how to calm its sensitivity. This is, in fact, really simple and requires no supplements, pills or gadgets; the key is our breath.

When we are in fight/flight mode, like when when we are in pain or overwhelm, it’s a reflex to breathe quick and shallow through our mouth. The thing is that our mouth is not for breathing, and the act of breathing this way fuels that fight-flight response!

So here’s what do:
• Close your mouth.
• Breathe gently in and out through your nose.
• Don’t take deep breaths or try and change your natural breathing rhythm, just let the breathing happen on its own.

There are dozens of fantastic breathing techniques that are well documented to reduce the fight/flight response and they are all great, but a simple practice of closing your mouth and breathing gently through the nose is the easiest way to calm your nervous system when you’re experiencing overwhelm.
