It’s been a while since we’ve been able to rac It’s been a while since we’ve been able to race in Melbourne and some of my fondest memories are of volunteering as a blind runner guide. These athletes are truly courageous and so amazing, it’s such a privilege to support them in their personal goals, not to mention so much fun! 🏃🏻‍♀‍🙌🏼 

You might not be a runner but you can support the community just by purchasing  @community_co products at your local IGA and independent retail stores. Community Co are committed to supporting the community by making donations from the sale of their products to those in need through the IGA Community Chest Program. It’s so easy for all of us to make a difference!🤗

Leftovers never looked so good! I've made these yu Leftovers never looked so good!
I've made these yummy veggie parcels from a part eaten cauliflower from the other night's dinner and uneaten roast veggies from another by using the Glad to be Green® Compostable Bake Paper to help reduce the amount of food we waste at home. Did you know that the Glad to be Green® Compostable Bake Paper does not only have silicone coating for non-stick cooking, but it can also be composted after your done using it? 💫 So no matter how many food scraps you have leftover, don't throw them away; just get creative.
Share your at-home hack on reducing food waste. I can't wait to see all your creative ideas! @gladaustralia, #ChangeTheOutcome #ad

#ad A tasty Roast Pumpkin & Chickpea curry made so #ad A tasty Roast Pumpkin & Chickpea curry made so easy with vegan friendly @pataksanz Butter Chicken Paste! It’s a simple recipe using this expert blend of spices to make an authentic curry, perfect for winter warming.
Ingredients
✖️1/3 cup Patak’s Butter Chicken Paste 
✖️1.2kg pumpkin wedge
✖️Coconut oil spray
✖️1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
✖️1 onion, finely diced
✖️1 can chickpeas, drained and washed
✖️2 cups coconut milk (I used carton coconut milk for a lighter option)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.
2. Cut pumpkin into 4 wedges. Place on a lined baking tray, spray with coconut oil and pop into the oven for 45 minutes until soft. Turn oven up to 240 degrees and cook an extra 10-15 minutes until caramelised.
3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. 
4. Add Patak’s Butter Chicken Paste and fry for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add chickpeas and stir into mixture.
6. Add coconut milk and blend in completely. Simmer for 5 minutes gently before serving.
Serve up the curry with a wedge of roast pumpkin, a dollop of coconut yogurt, some coconut rice, fresh coriander and Patak’s Garlic and Herb Naan. Look for the little orange & purple Patak's Paste jar in your local supermarket. Enjoy! #pataks #pataksanz #indianfood #patakspaste #butterchicken #curry #vegancurry
Have you downloaded the FREE @listnrau app yet?📲 💁🏻‍♀️ I’ve been exploring more of the music, podcasts and news on offer since first discovering it. LiSTNR has also just launched a program called Shameless Presents: The Books That Changed My Life. It’s a new series featuring interviews with people about books that have…exactly as the program says, changed their lives!📖🙌🏼 Podcasts  include interviews with @laura.henshaw and @deltagoodrem just to name a couple. I’m a big fan of books with impact so I’m keen to schedule these podcasts into my week for a little inspiration. 🎧📚In fact, it’s perfect to dedicate to chill and stretch time! 
🦵🏼 Legs up on the wall (so many benefits from this easy restorative yoga pose from relaxation, increased circulation, to stretching and flexibility)
🎧 Pop on the The Books That Changed My Life from the LiSTNR app
🙏🏼 20 minutes of me time in this position, then legs down for some dynamic stretches and flexes or just savasana depending on how I feel, for the remaining 25 minutes of the podcast. 
💫Voila…restored, refreshed and inspired!
