Working from home: Week #4 ~ . Honestly, at first

Working from home: Week #4 ~
.
Honestly, at first I was pretty happy about working from home. As someone who enjoys being in her own company I welcomed the chance to get cosy, create a space that worked for me and knuckle down in the place I feel most comfortable. Here I can be amongst my plants, enjoying the free oxygen they provide, decide what essential oils we’ll have floating out of our room diffuser that day and enjoy the natural light. (Believe me, I know how so very hipster this sounds...). Plus it doesn’t hurt that my lovely boyfriend is happy to bring me green teas all day. 😜😌🙏🏻❤️
And that morning commute? Thankfully nowhere to be seen!
.
But last week is the first week I really struggled, for various reasons and various difficulties arising out of the woodwork, as they often do. I know it’s okay and that everybody is going through a tough time right now. Whether it’s work life, money worries, family issues or mental health struggles, everybody has their own battle to fight right now, and in a weird way knowing that helps to keep my feet on the ground and put my problems into very stark perspective, reminding me that I can make myself feel better by asking what I can do to help others, and not be so focused on myself. And for that I am grateful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
.
How is everybody doing out there? Like, seriously? 👇🏻👇🏻

Might sound a little dramatic to those who haven’t thought of it this way. But why are we allowing this to happen? Why aren’t we caring more? Why are we happy for businesses, shops, restaurants & all public places to be closed to keep us safe (rightly so), but then the actual CAUSES of this virus are allowed to keep on operating as normal??
A Coronavirus belongs to a group of viruses that are zoonotic - meaning they can be easily transferred from animals to humans. Animals pick up viruses and get sick when they are kept in cramped, squalid conditions - such as the cages in wet markets and - guess what - FACTORY FARMS. We cannot point the finger to China for this one - many of the world’s pandemics have started in pigs, chickens and exotic farmed animals from all over the world. Terrible living conditions and the nightmarish horrors of slaughterhouses lead to death, sickness and disease. When a virus manages to infect a human, it leads to society-disrupting pandemics like the current one we’re facing.
.
All zoonotic viruses need to be traced back to their origins, which has everything to do with how we unnecessarily breed, rear, intensively farm and dominate animals.
Over 70% of the UK’s meat is factory farmed.

It doesn't make sense! If authorities were really serious about stopping this pandemic and preventing future outbreaks, then farms, slaughterhouses, and other places of animal exploitation should be the first to close!

Yet another #legitdelicious plate of plant foods.

Yet another #legitdelicious plate of plant foods. 👌🏻😜
Lately I’ve been having massaged kale salads almost every day as a way to get in those greens. If you haven’t tried massaged kale before - you need to GET ON IT. All you do is massage a couple of simple ingredients to make a delicious dressing - including something acidic like apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. This makes the kale break down and become softer and easier to chew and digest. To be honest it’s probably the best way to enjoy raw kale. 👍🏻
I’ve been massaging mine with 2 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp tamari and 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar. Then I just throw it on a plate with some rocket, tomato, cucumber, whatever cooked grain I have in the house (in this instance brown rice) and some pulses or dry-fried tofu. ✌🏻🌱
.
Every time I am able to put a dish like this together with lots of nourishing plant based foods, I give thanks and feel so grateful that I am still able to enjoy healthy meals at this current time of crisis. I really do realise how lucky and fortunate I am at this time. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey friends! As promised, here are some useful jou

Hey friends! As promised, here are some useful journaling prompts you can use below to get some stuff off your chest during this whole crazy scenario. 🤪 Journaling can be an amazing coping mechanism and whilst it may not immediately solve all your problems, it can really open us up to reflection, appreciation, finding new solutions where we may not have seen them before. 📖🖋
Over the weekend I began writing in my journal, sharing all of the thoughts and feelings I’ve been having over the past few weeks, and just general observations really. 👍🏻 I feel like not only will this lead to more mental clarity and more appreciation in all of us, it’ll also make a fascinating entry to look back on in years to come. 😝😆
.
Journal independently or use some of the prompts/questions below to get you started:
.
1. What are you enjoying most in quarantine?
2. What are you enjoying least?
3. What things are you missing about normal life that you can’t wait to do again?
4. What might you actually miss about being in quarantine that you have come to appreciate?
5. What have you learned so far throughout all of this, or what do you think society has learned?
6. What things have really bugged you, upset you or angered you throughout this whole crisis? (For me there’s quite a lot haha 🤣)
7. Imagine you were writing a guidebook for the future generations. How would you describe the current way of living right now and what advice would you give?

One of the best things about this quarantining thing is that you can legit make pancakes any time of day and no one is going to judge. ✌🏻🥞
.
Recipe for these healthy vegan spelt crepes is a little further back in my feed. They’re light and crispy and fluffy - pretty much everything you want your crepe to be. 👌🏻 I like to top them with fresh/frozen berries, a squeeze of lemon juice and some date sugar.
.
If you make these, tag me! #everythingspeachy. ✌🏻

This week I had a bunch of bananas going brown so threw them into this yummy banana loaf. 👌🏻😍 I used the awesome recipe by @chocolatecoveredkatie which relies largely on the ripeness of the mashed bananas to get its sweetness. In fact there was only a half cup of maple syrup in this whole cake, which is so much less sugar than your standard Mary Berry/Betty Crocker/Nigella recipes. 😂👍🏻
I used spelt flour for some hearty whole grain goodness and replaced the oil/butter with half a cup of coconut yoghurt. This resulted in a rich, moist and decadent banana cake that was still light and fluffy and could be enjoyed without the guilt. ✌🏻 It’s been making a great desk and pre-workout snack during the afternoons this week. 😋
.
I’m loving all of the extra time right now to bake and get creative with recipes in the kitchen. 💪🏻 What tasty things have you guys been whipping up in your kitchens this week?

Made a big batch of this vegan green lentil curry

Made a big batch of this vegan green lentil curry before the weekend and the leftovers are still going strong. 💪🏻💪🏻 The best part was that it required only pantry staples to make and made a lot of food for very little money. Tinned green lentils, tinned tomatoes, coconut milk, various spices, garlic (but could use garlic powder) and I had it with some cooked quinoa (but could of course use rice).👌🏻😋
I then added a dollop of coconut yogurt from the fridge and a sprinkling of coriander, which I keep frozen in the freezer (I store all my fresh herbs this way as they last so much longer!!)
.
Thankfully, plant foods are incredibly cheap and you can eat a healthy, balanced whole plant foods diet mostly with cupboard staples. 👍🏻 I know the canned foods in the supermarkets have taken a bit of a beating lately, but it’s no wonder as these cheap foods are also some of the most nutritious around. 💪🏻
As well as canned beans/lentils you can also buy them dried in bulk and cook from scratch. Dried grains are of course also amazing and if you can’t find fresh produce, try to get frozen instead! They’re just as tasty and nutritious (if not more so) than fresh ones.
.
Hope you’re all doing well out there. If you’re out at the supermarket and have some money to spare, please consider buying a few extra items and donate them to your local food bank (donation points are often located in supermarkets, conveniently). Food poverty is going to be a huge issue for some people now more than ever and we all need to do what we can to help. See my IG story for more details. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This delicious nourish bowl has been a firm regular on the rota this week. 👍🏻
Brown rice, paprika-roasted sweet potato wedges, edamame beans, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, oh and there’s a bed of romaine lettuce sitting somewhere under there too...😜😆 Rice and wedges were pre-cooked at the start of the week and everything was drizzled with last week’s leftover tahini, orange & ginger dressing. 😍👌🏻

How is everybody doing out there? All staying safe I hope? How is everybody managing from a grocery point of view? One major thing that’s been on my mind lately is the concept of people not being to get out and go shopping, or not being able to get the foods they need at the store. You never think about “going without” until times like these but for many people its a very real possibility. And if the UK goes full-on lockdown, it’ll be something many of us have to think about.
.
At the moment food businesses in the UK have claimed that there is “enough food for everybody”, but in order to ensure that continues to be the case we need to all shop mindfully and make sure we leave enough for other people. I understand the fear right now and how the uncertainty of things makes people want to be prepared and buy a ton, but today we went shopping just to get a few bits and there was...barely anything left in certain product lines. 😐 We never think about supermarkets running out of stuff all at once and it’s scary! I am so so glad that supermarkets have introduced a special morning browsing hour for the elderly and vulnerable, and the rest of us should all respect it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
.
I’m going to research some ways to get involved and help prevent food poverty in this troubling time. If I come across any good resources I will let you guys know, or if you happen to know of any, let me know!! Love to all. 💕✌🏻
