Whatever about other people I have this problem for myself. The perpetual problem of what to eat and do I have all the ingredients in the press!
The following recipe will rock using regular potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash or other seasonal root vegetables.
In small to moderate portions root vegetables are an awesome addition to the diet. Even the poor ‘spud’ isn’t as bad as it is made out to be:

So now that I am getting adventurous this is my third take on Nettle Soup. This time I placed a lot more focus on nettles as the main ingredient; however typically I have added in the kitchen sink of ingredients to make this jam-packed with nutrition…. After all why stop at just one vegetable when soup is your chance to get in a heap of veggies!

This is a cheap, fast, and tasty curry that can be made from ingredients found in most well-stocked cupboards.

So now that I have tried my Nettle Soup Take 1 I realise that these stinging beasties are not going to kill me from anaphylactic shock once cooked (funny because I already knew this; I have no idea from where the paranoia reigns) I am adding a greater quantity of nettles into my Nettle Soup Take 2. Both these recipes show you that nettles can be added pretty much into any vegetable soup recipe.

Ok I will admit I am a wimp when it comes to eating nettles. I have a ridiculous paranoid fear that I will die by asphyxiation if I eat these little nutrient bombs. And so despite knowing better I am treading cautiously for my first attempt at eating these nutrient powerhouse. Please also be warned that I have total recipe following ADHD and so the following recipe is another Andrea invention; my apologies in advance as quantities are rough estimates based on what I felt like chucking in!
Today we are talking about blackberries
Not this
But these
Blackberry picking is something that is part of an Irish country person’s heritage; here is the late Seamus Heaney paying tribute to the unassuming blackberry.
I wanted to share with you all the recipe for bone broth that I recommend to my clients. Bone broth is an amazing nourishing and healing food; especially for those on a gastrointestinal healing programme, recovering from illness, going through the wringer with food poisoning (add brown rice or quinoa to the broth), or if embarking on a nutrition bomb-packed detox (if detoxing aim to add some sea-weed to the mix).
Simply make a giant pot of the steaming healing liquid and enjoy often during the day.
Extra can safely be frozen in Pyrex dishes or glass jam jars and removed from the freezer the night before you plan on enjoying to permit the soup to defrost naturally.
Wow such a lot to write about today; I am unable to come up with a creative title so here you are getting the whole mish-mash of what has been going on as I wanted to touch on a few issues today.
