With all these aromatic, healing spices, this Moroccan dish is good for the soul. I usually double the mixture of the spices but you can obviously make as much as you like, as its a good spice mix to use to marinate meats or put in curries. 1 x can chickpeas 1/2 pomegranate 1/2 cup…

This dish is clean and green and sooo easy. Just poach or steam your chicken, make your pesto (or buy from supermarket) cook your rice and assemble.

Thai Fried Rice

Curry Salad
This salad originally came from my sister Andi, but I’ve changed it a bit to be a bit more fructose friendly. It’s a bit blokey too I think because of the curry dressing so men seem to like it as well. My BG loves it and always scoffs two bowls down. So the dressing is…

Turmeric Cauliflower Rice
So cauliflower rice is a great alternative if you’re trying to reduce your carbs. It also looks like rice, so I managed to trick my kids into eating it by mixing it with rice and a few other salad ingredients too. I add just a bit of turmeric to it; I add turmeric to everything…
