What to do with leftover rice? Make fried rice of course! Fried rice is really such a great dish to also pop in all your leftover bits and pieces from your fridge. I’ve got everything in here from gai barn, bok choy, corn, carrot, onion, beans, peas and mushrooms. Best of all, it tastes yum too! #zerowaste #eatmoreveggies #stayhomecooking #friedrice

And then there were three...took a bit of effort, but my daughter was finally let back into Perth. ✈️ Not sure when we’ll see her again, but it’s been such an added bonus having her home with us over these past months. It’s been really special having the whole family together. 💞 We’ve had so much quality time and made some fun memories, especially with our weekly stay home themed dinner parties during the first lockdown. #covidsilverlinings🕺🏼💃🏻 Bit of a shame I wasn’t able to fly back with her this time but hopefully we’ll be together again soon.🤞🏼#flashback #motherdaughterrun #southperthforeshore #staysafe

Jam packed with so many goodies, this was such a delicious Burrito bowl! 🌯🥣 I started with lettuce leaves on the bottom and topped them with Tilda Jasmine rice mixed with coriander and a couple of squeezes of lemon. Next was a mix of spiced black beans, corn and green capsicum, then came a tomato, red onion and coriander salsa, finished with pickled cabbage and a sliced wedge of avo, really yum! 🥬🍚🌿🍋🌶🖤🌽🍅🥑👌🏼 I also made a wonderful new discovery on the cook today - not all rice is equal. Amazingly fluffy, delicate and beautifully tasting, this Jasmine Rice from @tildarice was exceptional!👌🏼The rest of my family noticed and commented on how delicious it was too without any prompt from me. Give it a try and see what you think!🍚💛#tildarice #burritobowl #gifted #veganbowl #stayhomecooking

Some mornings have been so icy cold out on the run, and while my body warms up after a while, my hands never seem to, even when I wear gloves. 🥶 I’ve just discovered Kobayashi Hot Hands warmers which fit easily into my gloves and help keep my hands nice and warm. They’re air activated, a slim fit and easy to use.🤲🏼🔥 With the heat still going post run (lasts up to 10 hours), I’ve actually been sitting at my desk with them too.👌🏼#wfhlife You can pick up these handy hand warmers at your local @colessupermarkets . #MyHotHands #ad #winterrunning #outdoorrunning

A comforting spiced sweet potato and carrot soup with a deliciously crunchy garlic crumble - it’s a tasty WFH lunch made so easy with @vegeta_australia Gourmet Stock Powder.
Ingredients
✖️ 1 brown onion, chopped
✖️ 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
✖️ 4 carrots, peeled and chopped
✖️ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
✖️ 1 teaspoon ground cumin
✖️ 1 teaspoon ground coriander
✖️ 2 teaspoons curry powder
✖️ 1/2 cup red split lentils, washed and drained
✖️ 1 teaspoon Vegeta Gourmet Stock Powder
✖️ 500ml of boiling water
✖️ Extra water or stock if needed
Method
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté all the spices with the chopped vegetables and lentils for a few minutes until aromatic.
2. Make the vegetable stock by mixing the Vegata Gourmet Stock Powder with the boiling water and add to the pot.
3. Bring to the boil then simmer for around 10-15 minutes until all the vegetables are soft.
4. Take off the heat and cool slighty before blending the mixture. I used a stick blender straight into the pot. Add extra water or stock as desired for a thinner consistency.
5. Season with salt and pepper as desired, and serve with a sprinkle garlic breadcrumbs, fresh coriander and chilli. Enjoy!
Vegeta is available in all supermarkets.
