Recipe: Salmon Pad Thai

This is a simple recipe that allows for some experimentation and tailoring to your personal tastes. The vast majority is also available in Lidl so doesn't require 8 specialist shops! Main Ingredients: Salmon Fillets (1 per person) (Lidl - £2.85/pair) Rice Noodles - these 5mm ones are my preference (Morrisons - £1.40) Edamame Stir Fry (Lidl - 89p) Mange Tout (Lidl - 89p) Mushrooms - your preference on type! The following spices are worth the trip to various shops to stock up on... Spices: Black Cardamom Pod Sea Salt - The Cornish Sea Salt Co Flakes are my favourite! Pepper Sichuan Peppercorns - this is actually a little citrus thing. Tastes like strong lemon and makes your tongue tingle! Korean Chili Powder - Course (Type for Kimchi!) Sesame Seeds Cashew Nuts - (unsalted) Sriracha Sauce Soy Sauce Cooking Oil - Olive or Rapeseed This is a mostly vegan dish, and if you replace the salmon with tofu, it's completely vegan! I leave it up to you t...

Sesame Salmon & Aromatic Rice with Avocado & Pak Choi

Ingredients: 2x Salmon Fillets 1x Pak Choi 3x Spring Onion 1x Avocado 175g White Rice Sesame Seeds Sesame Oil Butter Light Soy Sauce Cornish Sea Salt Black Pepper Chilli Flakes Granulated Garlic Step 1: Toast Sesame Seeds Use a small, dry frying pan and add sesame seeds and heat - once they start popping, they're done - move them around often to achieve an even dark-gold colour throughout.

The butter stops the rice becoming stodgy, and sesame oil is for flavour. Add boiling water to the rice in a hot pan, to roughly 3/4" above the rice. Put the lid on and turn the heat down. Step 3: Season Salmon Salt, Pepper and Granulated Garlic. Add ch...

Mood and Food - Morning Routine

Does anyone else wake up and feel exhausted? Like you ran a midnight marathon... I generally turn in around 11pm - not ridiculously early; I have shit to do, but I am by no means a night owl any more (being 30 is knackering!)! I wake up around 7am and normally get up 30 mins later - God bless the snooze button! So I am getting around 8 hours a night, so why do I feel knackered before I am even in work? I started to suspect this tiredness, and the resulting foul mood that lasted all day, was nothing to do with the amount of sleep I was getting (quality of sleep is a different subject!) but was rooted elsewhere. A few months ago I actually sat down and made a record of what I was eating. What we fuel our bodies with has a huge effect on everything: mood, energy, happiness, stool consistency! The result: I was completely reversing any gains or progress I made in the gym, and worsening how I felt. It wasn't awful - the odd KFC, or pizza, but it was devoi...
