This Sweet Chilli Chicken with Brocco Slaw and Peanut Dressing is definitely a @freshstartwithnadia recipe that I’ll be making again. So easy. So quick. So delicious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #myfoodbagnz #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyrecipes #mumhealth #mumwannabefitspo #nzmum #mumlife #kiwimum #motherhood #sahm #stayathomemum #weightlossjourney #weightlossgoal

Here’s last nights dinner; Tikka Spiced Chicken with Puy Lentil Dhal - YUM and ➡️ tonight’s dinner; Italian Pork with mushroom tomato sauce - NOT AS YUM. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m too tired to write anything interesting about them 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #myfoodbagnz #totiredforwords #healthyfood #healthyeating #mumhealth #weightlossjourney #weightlossgoal #mumfitness #mumwannabefitspo #mumlife #mumoftwo #stayathomemum #sahm #kiwimum #sleepdeprivedmummy

I felt like a chef making this Fish Parcel with Vermicelli & Thai Salad 👩🏻‍🍳 I’ve never made any type of parcels before. Also felt ridiculously fancy eating it at lunchtime today (despite a baby chucking food at me from her highchair) given my usual lunch is eggs on toast 👸🏻 In other news I’m about to turn 34 and I made batter for the first time in my life 🤷🏻‍♀️ My plan to get Cooper to eat the remaining fish worked. He even declared it yummy which is very high praise from a toddler 👌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #myfoodbagnz #healthyfood #healthyeating #lifewithatoddler #lifewithatwoyearold #mumlife #nzmum #kiwimum #motherhood #sahm #sahmlife #stayathomemum #mumhealth #mumwannabefitspo #weightlossjourney #mumweightloss #weightlossgoal

P A S T A 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I could live on pasta, bread and cheese so I have missed them over the past weeks and was so excited to cook this Beef and Mushroom Bolognese tonight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The husband doesn’t like mushrooms so I chopped them up really small in an attempt to hide them like I do with Cooper but he was too smart and sniffed them out 🤣 He was also smart enough to still eat the meal put in front of him 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s on a San Remo Pulse Pasta which is made from the flour of pulses including lentils, chickpeas, peas and beans and has 10g of protein per serve and is naturally gluten free. This recipe only used half the packet so I’ll be making pasta again soon! 😋 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #freshstart12weekchallenge #sanremopasta #iheartpasta #healthyfood #healthieroptions #weigtlossjourney #weightlossgoal #nzmum #mumoftwo #motherhood #mumlife #kiwimamalife #kiwimum #stayathomemum #mumbod #mumweightloss #mumfitspo

I forgot to do my weekly weigh in this morning 🤦🏻‍♀️ Maybe it’s a sign from the universe that it wouldn’t have been good news?! We had Cajun Spiced Chicken with a Salad and Walnut Yoghurt tonight. The salad had roast carrot and beetroot, cabbage, pear, tomato and feta with a dressing made from yoghurt, honey, oil, red wine vinegar and dijon mustard. Not a combo I’d ever think to do but so bloody tasty I’ll definitely be recreating it. I ate at 530pm with the kids. It means if bedtime takes ages I’m not getting hangry and Kelly can just reheat his when he arrives home and doesn’t have to wait for me if I’m stuck with one of the kids. It also means I’m not snacking while I cook because I’m starving and will cut out eating anything too late, I’d like to stick to a no food after 8pm rule. The exception being my cleanse tea. I think the saying is it takes 21 days to form a habit so let’s see where I’m at on 8 April! There’s a list of the other things I want to achieve daily on my Tumblr • • • • #pipsunpudging #weightlossgoals #weightlossjourney #lifestylechange #nzmum #mumlife #myfitnesspal #freshstartwithnadia #freshstart12weekchallenge #healthyfood #mumbod #stayathomemum #motherhood #mumoftwo #creatingroutine #healthyhabits #kiwimum #ditchdairy #nobreadweekdays #sundaycheatday #waterwaterwater

This Chermoula Chicken with Bulgar Salad and Chermoula Drizzle is delicious! I’m loving not having to think about what to make for dinner and how quick the meals are to make especially when I’ve prepped all the veg earlier in the day. Perfect for us with two young kids who don’t always go to sleep at the time they should! #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #freshstart12weekchallenge #mumhealth #mumlife #nzmum #mumweightloss #weightlossjourney #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #mumfitspo #mumfitness #mumtumbegone

Somehow I managed to have dinner prep done and both kids fed, bathed and in pjs by 6pm tonight 👊🏻 They were both asleep by 7pm so I had dinner ready by 730pm but typical it’s the one night the husband is not home at usual time so I’ve eaten my Herb-Crumbed Fish With Spicy Capsicum Relish and Kumara by myself and he’s going to have to reheat his 🙄 #PipsUnPudging #freshstartwithnadia #freshstart12weekchallenge #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyhabits #mumlife #nzmum #mumfitness #mumhealth #mumbod #lifestylechange #amatuerchef

This is Almond Coconut Chicken with Salsa Verde. And it was delicious. However the meal plan said Cajun-Style Blackened Fish BUT the kids were both difficult at bedtime and delayed my cooking and the husband isn’t a fish fan so I pulled the pin on it and had this chicken dish ready in 30 minutes. The old me, when feeling overwhelmed like tonight, would have gotten takeaways or eaten something quick & easy but full of empty calories like cheese toasties. Having the fresh ingredients staring me in the face every time I open the fridge is a great motivator to use them (so is the fact we’re paying for @freshstartwithnadia ! 🤣) What’s the likelihood of the kids eating the fish with me at lunchtime tomorrow 🤔 #mateyouredreaming #pipsunpudging #freshstartwithnadia #freshstart12weekchallenge #myfoodbagnz #lifestylechange #freshingredients #weightlossgoals #mumlife #nzmum
