Chocolate mousse with star anise apricots

At last month’s Creative in Residence supper club I insisted to my co-host Charlotte that I put a vegan chocolate mousse on the menu. And I’m going to be honest, I had to fight for it. I really wanted to prove vegan and tofu can be delicious - and I achieved it with this recipe.

10 things to do before you open your computer in the morning 
10 things to do before you open your computer in the morning 

In the last year I have made a real conscious effort to make a better use of my mornings. Whatever your circumstances, I would argue you could try squeezing in at least one of these activities before you press the ‘ON’ button on your computer. Why not give it a go and see what difference it makes?

The one time evidence isn’t important in wellness
The one time evidence isn’t important in wellness

Evidence is so important in the wellness industry.  It’s absolutely critical to building a world in which people know who to trust. So why now am I writing a blog post about ignoring the evidence? Because sometimes, belief is more important.  Your essential New Year read.

CHOCOLATE AND STAR ANISE MOUSSE 🌟 I served up these delicious little bowls of goodness at last month’s Creative in Residence Supper Club and they’re a winner! So good I didn’t want anyone to miss out, so I shared the recipe on the blog 🤩 The not-so-secret recipe is silken tofu which give these bowls more plant-based vibes which is what I wanted to showcase for our meal. Also, isn’t star anise totally amazing?! I think it’s a totally under-used spice. Any other star anise infused recipes I should be checking out?🌟 . . . . I’ve popped the link to this recipe in my bio 👆🏼 Super simple, the mousse is made with just 5 ingredients. Enjoy! 🌟
DO YOU PRIORITISE YOURSELF? 💖 How often do you prioritise you? And what you need and want for your time on this planet, rather than what everyone else needs and wants? It’s so easy, particularly as women, to prioritse everyone else and not give our own needs a look in. I thought this came up in a really interesting question last night @dollyalderton book tour, when she was asked if she was worried about how intimidated men might be by her for being a feminist and choosing to speak and write her mind. “I don’t want to live my life worrying about the ego and feelings of a man I haven’t even met yet.” BOOM 👊🏼 . . . That’s not to say I think we should all be rude and self-centred. That’s not the point either. The point is to prioritise ourselves and see taking care of YOU as just as important (if not more!) than taking care of everyone else. You can’t do the work you’re meant to do in the world or help others unless you put number 1 first 👇🏼 . . . When was the last time you put yourself first? Is there a small way you can do so today to get what you need from this week? . . We still have a few spots left on @thereset_me retreat which is all about prioritising you and giving you time, tools, tips and support to work out what you want and how you’re going to get there. DM me doe details 🌟
ROASTED RED PEPPER AND CASHEW SAUCE ❤️ My lovely friends @buywholefoodsonline sent me a whole load of cashews lately and I couldn’t have been more happy 🤗 Cashews are such amazingly versatile ingredients - not just for snacking, they can be sprinkled on stir-fries, chopped up and used in granola or porridge, added to snack bars or soaked and blended to make plant-based cheesecakes. Or made into pasta sauces like this one! 😍 . . . I got so excited about all the different possibilities I decided to do a round-up of favourite cashew recipes for my blog post this week. With help from @hbloggerscom I’ve pulled together amazing recipes from people like @thebakingnutritionist, @romylondonuk, @hedihearts and @food_to_glow to name just a few. The link is in my bio - go take a look for some cashew cooking inspiration for the weekend! 👆🏼👆🏼 . . . The recipe for this pasta sauce is coming to the blog on Monday. Super simple with only 5 ingredients. Who wants to see?! 🙋🏽‍♀️ . . . #gifted #affiliate

You show me what is possible. You teach me something new every single day. And you cheer and support me along the way. I don’t know where I’d be without you. Let’s stay together forever! 💖 . . .

HEAVEN CAN WAIT ✨ #pressgift I was lucky enough to receive a gorgeous bundle of goodies from @alpro over the weekend which came with an amazing recipe for Heaven Can Wait porridge 🥣 I’m obsessed with porridge lately to start my day, it’s so warm and comforting and keeps me full until lunch 👊🏼 . . . This recipe was made with @alpro’s Unsweetened Almond Milk with some added some twists I’ve never tried before: grated apple for sweetness and fresh mint for some serious zing 🌱 I can confirm it is indeed heavenly, I’ve already had it three days in a row! Swipe to the left for the recipe to give it a go yourself 👉🏼👉🏼 . . What do you add to your porridge that I need to try? 🥣

CARROT CAKE 🥕 Happy Friday! Don’t forget the recipe for this carrot cake is on the blog. It’s a blinder! And a few of you have made it already which makes me so happy. I’ve put the link in my bio so it’s easy to find - almost as easy as it is to make, and simple ingredients too 👌🏼👌🏼 . . . Today I’m off to change the scenery and do some co-working in town with @sophieferuch and @empowermentcoaching.ie. Then I’m treating myself to a massage and a facial - all thanks to a generous birthday voucher from @rosemaryandrobert and one in a gift bag from @girlcrewhq. It’s so nice to have little luxuries to look forward to, without the need to splash out. What are you doing for yourself this weekend? 💖
NO-ONE IS PERFECT 💖 News flash! No-one has got this all worked out. No-one is getting it right every time. No-one has built a business without making mistakes. No-one has improved their health without falling into some traps. No-one has the perfect blueprint for success that they’re hiding from you. The hard - but exciting - truth is you need to do it your way 👊🏼 Give it a go, make mistakes, pick yourself back up and keep on trying. The only thing perfect is the imperfect human existence we’re all living (I think @kerrylyonsco would agree 😆) and the fact that imperfection keeps us learning and growing. Tag someone who needs to hear this today! 💖
CAULIFLOWER CURRY 🌶 New recipe alert! Over on the blog I’m sharing the recipe for the cauliflower curry I served up at last month’s Creative In Residence Supper Club. Made with @abelandcole ingredients, this is an easy and ridiculously tasty veggie packed meal 💚 . . . Do you make your own curry at home? Until now I haven’t shared a curry recipe on the blog because I know some people will be put off with a long ingredient list ⛔️ Most of the list is spices that add lots of different layers of flavour. And the key thing is, if you don’t have every single ingredient then that’s okay! Give it a go with what you have and what you can find at the shops, and see how it tastes 🍽 . . . The priority always for me is to try in the kitchen - rather than give up at the first hurdle. Experimenting is the name of the game 🔬🧪 It’s a skill you’ll also get better at with something like an @abelandcole delivery box, where you’ll get a range of ingredients dropped to the doorstep and you’ll need to get creative! . . . The recipe is in the link in my bio, go take a look and see if you’re ready to experiment 👆🏼👆🏼
EATING SEASONALLY 🌳 #GIFT Last month I was lucky enough to cook up a whole plant-based menu for our Creative In Residence Supper Club with amazing veggies from @abelandcole. The process of putting together the menu and choosing ingredients really got me thinking about eating seasonally and the huge benefits. I’m not going to tell you eating seasonally has nutritional benefits - I’m not qualified and don’t know enough about it. But there are four other reasons I find really compelling which I think might swing you too: 💶 Eating seasonally is cheaper. If you eat food that’s abundant naturally it’s often items that are lower in price because there is so much available, or even on offer because there’s an excess. Eating seasonally saves pennies! . . 💖 Eating seasonally supports local producers. Since starting my own business I’ve become even more aware of how important it is to support local business owners. I’d like my money to go back into the local economy thank you, not someone in a far flung country. . . 🙏🏼 Eating seasonally makes you more mindful. WILD CARD! I’ve thought (and talked) a lot about mindfulness in the last year and believe eating seasonally can help with this. If you are being more conscious about what you’re choosing to eat, and knowing where it’s come from, it makes you more grateful and appreciative of the food you put in your mouth. . . 👩🏽‍🍳 Eating seasonally makes you more creative. This is my favourite reason! Having a veg box delivered by someone like @abelandcole will introduce you to so many different ingredients you might never consider otherwise. It’ll encourage you to get out the cookbooks and maybe discover a new favourite. How exciting is that? . . . There are still photos in my Highlights of a Supper Club if you want to take a look at the cooking in action. This snap is by Donna @skirtingboardschandeliers 📷 I’ve done a more in-depth blog post about eating seasonally, the link is in my bio 👆🏼
#ad DINE IN WITH DUCK 💖 This Valentine’s Day will be our first as husband and wife 🥰 We are such big foodies that dining in is a real treat and a chance to try something new. Although we don’t often cook together it has to be said, only room for one chef at a time! 😆 . . The @gressinghamduck Bistro range of cooked duck are the perfect way to share an special evening meal together. They’re quick and easy to prepare and are something a little out of the ordinary from our weekly meals. Roasted in the oven, I served these orange and maple duck legs with mashed potato (I married in Irishman, it’s the way to his heart 😜) and peas for a simple but delicious meal. If it’s the weekend we’ll have a glass of wine, switch the TV off and chat away with no interruptions. The ingredients for a perfect night in! 🤗 What makes an ideal night in for you? . . . #dineinwithduck #dinnerisserved
SMILES 😁 A big cheeky grin from me and Charlotte @craftist_in_residence to brighten up your feed! 😁 When things don’t feel like they’re going the way you want them to, despite the hard work, I’m trying to still remember there is so much to be grateful for. And a big part of that is friendship and the people I have met through this crazy journey of self-employment. They’re people that totally understand what I’m doing and get the highs and lows that come with it 🎢 And make me feel slightly less crazy for doing it 🤪 . . . If it looks like this week isn’t going to be the one you ‘smash it’, how can you put some energy into helping and supporting others with a kind word or gesture? 💖 I’m going to share some small businesses I love over on Instagram Stories today. And I’m committing this week to getting Flourishing Entrepreneurs interview series back up and running to showcase amazing people doing their thing and the journey that’s taken them there 💫 What can you do to champion someone else today? 🌟
