French toast for steady blood sugar levels

I’m loving this low carbohydrate French toast at the moment! It’s seriously tasty and it doesn’t make your blood sugar levels go through the roof, resulting in sustained energy and feeling satisfied until lunch.

김치 (kimchi)

I’ve eaten my fair share of kimchi the last little while, from various locations (including South Korea), and I’ve learnt that there are some okay ones and some seriously delicious ones. For this reason, don’t let your first kimchi tasting determine whether you like it or not. Keep trying it. Better yet, make it!

Hearty Irish vegetable soup

This soup contains HEAPS of vegetables, is souper (get it! wink, wink) comforting and a big batch will last in the fridge for 3-5 days! That’s a big plus if you like eating soup during winter, like me.

It is also a warming and nourishing meal to have when you’re sick!
