One sick little toddler at home today so trying to get as much goodness in as possible for a speedy recovery. Thankfully he loves sauerkraut and kale with nutritional yeast and lemon juice - and avocado, gnocchi and tofu were also safe bets for lunch 🥙 Other things that have gone down a treat today are a cacao shake with kale, frozen banana, brazil nuts, raw cacao powder, @oatly oat drink and dates; also papaya and some wholewheat chocolate cereal with more Oatly. Other than that he has been requesting oat bar-snacks and fruit pouches... I’m just grateful he eats anything - it is so heartbreaking seeing them unwell ❤️ What are your go-to meals for the sick little ones?! Would love some ideas! I think we’ll do rice and maybe red lentils for supper - I roasted a whole pumpkin earlier so that’ll probably feature in everything in the foreseeable future 😜 Lots of love and encouragement to the rest of you looking after poorly little ones today 💚 . . #vegan #veganpregnancy #vegantoddler #veganfood #gnocchi #vegangnocchi #kale #paddisonprogram #autoimmunedisease #inflammatoryarthritis #love #healing

Good morning lovely ones 🌅 Gosh I am so behind on my food pictures here - I think the reality of running after a toddler while 33 weeks pregnant has hit me these past few weeks and I am trying to make a conscious effort to slow things down a little 😅 And also to make sure I am as present as I can be while hanging out with little turnip! It is so easy to get caught up in doing My Stories-updates during meals, organising the next playdate or looking up what double pram will do the job best so being away from my phone more than usual is the reason I am a bit more absent at the moment - I do thank you guys for your patience during this phase and hope you’re still enjoying making the recipes from the cookbook! Hit me with some more of your piccies please - loving the updates!!! . . SO I have been getting my hands on some good papayas lately, which those of you on the @paddisonprogram will be especially familiar with as a wonderful food in healing the gut. Here we had it in our morning porridge together with bananas and seeds + some dried apricots. So warming and lovely during this cold snap that has covered the fields in a thin lace of frost. The mornings have been so incredibly beautiful lately, I do hope you guys are getting a glimpse of these epic sunrises through the mist 💛 . . My midwife has informed me I am low on iron - which came as a surprise to me as I had hoped my diet would prevent that, but being reassured by one of the plant-based doctors that this is common in pregnancy whether you’re an omnivore or herbivore, I will give the iron tablets a go. But I am still doing my best to up the levels through diet - so lots of leafy greens eaten with vitamin C that helps absorption, as well as dried apricots that seem to be a good source of iron. Thankfully it hasn’t really affected how I feel, except maybe a bit more tired in the evenings, but that could also be down to the full speed ahead we do during the days 🙈 Anyone else experienced low iron in pregnancy? Did you do anything diet-wise to sort it out? Oh and that last picture is my current obsession: frozen raspberries OMG I am popping them like popcorn 😄 Ice in any shape also works!! Cont 👇🏻

A compilation of what we’ve been having this past week - with a toddler running around like he’s got ants in his pants all day long I am so struggling to get any good food photos going - or much other stuff done either 😮 It is such a fun phase though and listening to him suddenly blurt out sentences in all the languages we’re teaching him is incredible - but yes my piccies are suffering and I guess that is cool too. Life does present us with all these different phases so best to just roll with it 🙏🏻 Today’s lunch was a leftover situation as we had some baked potatoes with a divine mash if chickpeas, capers, lemon juice and spices - there are a few versions of it that ate the vegan version of tuna and it is a good spread on toast for example. I am just working in the measurements for the toddler book but it is insanely good! Some leftover tofu scramble with kale (little turnip’s absolute favourite) and just greens and carrots 🥕🥒🥬 Tonight I made this heavenly roasted stuffed pumpkin with black beluga lentils, apricots and roasted cashews, wild rice and avocado. I also had a big bowl of salad with raw cabbage, red onion, sauerkraut and apple cider vinegar on the side. On Halloween a friend made that incredible dessert with fruit and melted dark chocolate, plus a ratatouille with rice for a main, just divine! So we have been spoiled with good food this week 💚💚💚 . . #vegan #plantbased #veganfood #sauerkraut #veganpregnancy #autoimmunedisease #rheumatoidarthritis #paddisonprogram #vegantoddler #vegantoddlerfood #surreyvegan #surrey

I made some brunch today for the rugby final watching and ended up with these plates 😋 Some people were having non-plant-based foods whereas I opted for our favourite tofu turmeric scramble from the cookbook which was requested by one of our friends, oven roasted oregano potatoes, nutritional yeast infused kale and some avocado on baguette - since the shop I visited at 7:30am had just brought the bread out of the oven 🥖🔥 Obviously a more processed food that I usually go for but hey ho, some days! I am not really a hot drink person but someone very kindly made me a cup of rooibos Earl Grey tea (no caffeine) with @oatly organic 😊 Little turnip had the same and also tried some of @millyskidchup on his potatoes (added after I took the piccie!) which he enjoyed very much! No sugar or artificial sweeteners just sweetened by good old apple sauce. Mums and dads, one to try for your little ones 🍅🍎❤️ Dessert was the updated banana bread which will go in the toddler book, this glorious papaya that a friend brought along, @kokodairyfree coconut yoghurt - and some cooked plums that my mother-in-law had made but which I failed to include in the photo! Little J was a HUGE fan though 🍑 So a lovely morning for all for us, hope you’ve also had a great Saturday 🍂🍁🌹 . . #vegan #plantbased #veganbrunch #brunch #wfpb #wfpbno #akitchenfairytale #tofu #scrambledtofu #veganpregnancy #avotoast #autoimmune #autumn #rheumatoidarthritis #paddisonprogram #inflammatoryarthritis #delicious #love #surreyvegan #vegancookbook
