Anyone else feeling deflated by the thought of cooking?

I’m with you. It’s the time of year when you’re completely out of ideas. Your head is filled with all the things in your calendar, elf on a shelf (IYKYK), Christmas shopping.

I thought I’d share a few of our family favourites to give you a few ideas up your sleeve. Because although takeaway seems like a good idea at the time, a home cooked meal is cheaper, more nutritious and will often give you leftovers for lunch.

All of these recipes use meat from , they are truly the best when it comes to quality, ethical farming practices. They are farmers who care about the animals and the earth. I cannot speak highly enough about them.

I truly believe that every time you spend a dollar you’re casting a vote for the type of world you want to live in.

Comment ‘dinner’ and I’ll share the recipes you want x

Imagine if I told myself…

I’m too tired.
I don’t have enough time.
Lifting weights will make me bulky.
It’s too hard with the girls at this age.
I don’t want to take the supplements.
I can’t be bothered making my lunch.
I can’t find the time to make breakfast.
It’s too hot, too cold, too wet to train outside.
Making the changes to my diet is too difficult.
It’s Christmas time, I might just start next year 🤯

On the other side of every excuse you’ve told yourself is the version of you waiting to shine.

These are all the excuses I’ve previously used. But I’ve been consistent for a while now and the consistency has paid off. I’m no longer derailed by a week away or the Christmas holidays because I have habits.

Last week I went away and yes I indulged.

Late nights (for me and the kids), a few meals out, a few drinks (when I barely drink at all), no macro tracking. Basically all the things that usually make women feel like they’ve fallen off the wagon.

But here’s what we don’t talk about enough ⤵️

I still felt good in my body because I kept the habits that support me most whether I’m at home or on holiday. I walked a lot, I rode my bike where possible instead of driving, I cooked protein + fibre-rich breakfasts, got morning light, stayed active.

Sure there wasn’t as much structure as my regular week but I got it done. This is what real consistency looks like.

Not once did I feel like I was ruining my hard work or that I needed to start again, I was living my life while staying connected to the habits that help me thrive.

If you’ve been scared of overindulging as we head into Christmas, let this be your reminder that you don’t need to be perfect at everything you do. You just need a few non-negotiables that make your body feel safe, nourished and supported.

Tell me I’m not the only one?!

If half of my boot wasn’t taken up by our dog, Saber, this is what I would’ve added.

My Thermomix ~ it’s so handy for quick salads, smoothies for the whole family.
Our kettle ~ the one in the cabin is plastic inside ☠️🤮
My pillow ~ I literally just realised I left it at home, devastated.

Sometimes being “crunchy” is a pain in the ass, but here we are taking kitchen utensils to a fully stocked cabin.

Make me feel normal.

Videos like this get me in the feels.

And hit even harder on the days when mumming feels looong and you feel under appreciated. When their big little feelings are hard to regulate.

I don’t know if the dads have these same feelings. We grow these tiny humans and our bodies expand and change and grow. Our postpartum breaks us apart and puts us back together again and we feed and soothe these little people. We make the breakfasts and pack the lunches and kiss the scraped knees. We mediate friendships and are the taxi to after school activities.

We give everything, selflessly, but sometimes forget OURselves.

They get bigger and many women get smaller…

I have many ‘whys’ and this video highlights one of them. The strength to be able to pick my girls up beyond early childhood. To have an extended period of time where I CAN pick them up if I want to or need to.

My advice to you is this ~ these years are busy, you will be needed during this time more than you ever will in your entire life. It’s messy, it’s brutal, it’s beautiful and it requires energy that needs to be replenished.

Your health, strength and vitality need to be put on the to-do list too. If you fall, everyone falls.

Eat the food. Lift the weights. Work on your nervous system.

Get strong so that this last pick up can be way further away than you think x

This chicken 😘👌🏼

I got inspired by a TikTok recipe and decided to make a version using what I had.

Chicken:

I meal prepped this and used about 6 thighs, but for 1 meal you could get away with 4. My chicken is skin on thighs from , the skin is the best part, if you remove it we cannot ever be friends.
2 Tbsp Dijon
2 Tbsp Honey
Zest of 1 lemon
2 x Lemons Juiced
1 tsp Garlic & Onion Powder
2 tsp dried oregano
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced

Dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
80g feta crumbled
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder, onion powder
1 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Dijon

Salad: can be anything you want really
Cabbage
Snow peas
Cucumber
Quinoa
Mint
Parsley

Marinate your chicken.
Prepare your salad.
Grill your chicken.
Make your dressing.
Assemble.
Eat 😘

I’ve meal prepped this for lunches this week. I only dress it when I’m ready to eat it to keep things fresh. The flavour of the chicken is bomb. It would also be amazing with a grilled zucchini, herb and quinoa salad if your digestion handles cooked vege better.

I’m halfway through my most important decade 💥

My youngest daughter is 3YO and my postpartum has most definitely collided with this impactful decade. But I am grateful for having the foundations in place that have supported bone density and muscle growth (lifting weights 4 x week), nutrition aimed at supporting both of these things as well as helping to keep my nervous system in check… because you must understand that for your nervous system to be balanced you need to be a well fed woman?!

36 to 46 is when your body starts catching up with the habits you’ve been keeping.

But the most beautiful thing about this message is that you can start now by eating enough protein, lifting weights, regulating your nervous system… and it’s going to have a positive impact.

The Lancet tells us that this decade matters… and my message to you is that you matter too. Comment or DM ‘ready’ to book a Free 15-Minute Discovery Call x

Today I under ate protein and here’s what happened ⤵️

If you’re not already please give me a follow . I share content that encourages women to nourish themselves first 🧡

✅ Had a solid breakfast
✅ Had an early lunch because of a lengthy appointment which wouldn’t allow me to eat - it lacked protein as it was on the run
❌ Went grocery shopping while hungry (not hydrated enough also)
❌ Munched on a “healthy” lunchbox snack while walking the aisles with my daughter - 15 mins later bloating and intense stomach pains which, 5 hours later are still lingering

When you don’t eat enough protein your blood sugar levels go haywire and you’ll scramble for anything to try and regain the balance. But often the things our brain seeks are not what the body needs.

Sharing this in case you live daily with these feelings in your tummy. It’s not normal and it’s not nice. Always humbling to be reminded of why I do what I do x

Please send me a DM if this resonates and you’d like a free discovery call to talk things through.
