Your cooking videos are the best! I prefer them to the vlogs of your daily life. You are looking great. You are modeling that it is possible to manage maintenance sucessfully. Thank you for all that you do for us!💗💗💗
Thanks for super ideas for quick and delicious healthy meals, I have to disagree though as I’m actually a huge fan of my Mam’s mashed carrots and parsnips , simply divine, I think because it’s cooked with such love and I have wonderful childhood memories of dinners together , it was probably full of butter and seasoning 😂
Hahah I love that it brings up those memories for you. In fairness my mom hated parsnips so we never had the mash. I always liked veg (my dad had a habit of buttering things a bit too much as well) but i remember going to friends houses for dinner and realising why they hated veg when you got watery mashed carrots and parsnips.
A few times per week I steam up a a bunch of broccoli and roast a pan of Brussels sprouts. If I can get organic yellow squash and zucchini, I'll make a pyrex dish of sliced summer squash with onions, whole organic cloves of garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Occasionally I will buy 3 or 4 bone in, skin on chicken thighs and cook them with butter, rubbed sage, horseradish mustard and salt and pepper (425 degrees F for like 45-50m). With this stuff in the fridge, it is super easy for me to nuke a plate of broccoli and wolf it down, like, well, a wolf. I reheat a chicken thigh in my air fryer. If no chicken, well then, I'll eat a portion of smoked or canned salmon or smoked mussels. Or I'll just eat a much larger portion of broccoli, which is like so big and not even 200 calories. I use Chronometer to track my calories. FAGE 5% yogurt: 154g this morning for 145 calories. Lunch: 351g of broccoli with 1T of olive oil, 12g of parmesan, 124g chicken thigh with skin, 10g Brazil nuts (for the selenium) and 29g dried prunes (because I love them) and that all added up to 743 calories. Dinner: 120g sirloin burger, with 60g of Shiitakes cooked in olive oil and topped with a little toasted sesame oil, and leftover fresh roasted asparagus (or the aforementioned Brussels sprouts. That plate is 562 calories. I'm nearly 60 and daily I burn more than my BMR every day, so that I can EAT. Today: BMR=1073. Imported activity: 1254. Yesterday my imported activity was 1600+, because after exercise, I was doing laundry and other things around the house that pushed my calorie burn way up. I do LONG walks outside that take HOURS, today I did a 14 minute isometric workout that was basically wall squats for 2m holds, then I did 70m of hiking on my Peloton Tread. Tomorrow I'll do the long walk, then I'll do 90 minutes of real working out (goblet squats, pullups, pushups; then side to side lunges with weights and push presses, then I do a ton of "jumping". Split jumps, jump knee tucks and jumping onto a 20 inch "play" cube. I burn about 850 calories outside every morning, about 350 during my workout on workout days, (isometrics only burns like 12 calories) and I burn 150-350 on the Peloton Tread. Obviously on workout days, I do a little less on the Tread. On Isometric days, like today, at least an hour and likely more on the Tread. Doing this means I can enjoy some dark chocolate smeared with almond butter or a small portion of macadamia nuts, now, these are among my favorite foods, chocolate with almond butter and god, I love macadamia nuts. But these foods pack a ton of calories! Sometimes lately, if I am really good and have a few hundred spare calories left at the end of the day, I'll eat 1-3 Lindt truffles, seriously, right before I brush my teeth for bed.
It's honestly so good and then it stays in the fridge for a few days after cooked and just makes the best salad protein xx Let me know what you think when you try it xx
Looks amazing! If you like celery root, Air Fryer Celery Root "fries" are super good and lower in calories. Thank you for posting some cooking videos! I am on BodySlims and it gives me some more ideas for meals. Keep up the great content 🖤🤘
@@HalfofCarla thank you Carla ~ I did actually look it up and realised what it was ~ I’m not sure if I’ll like it, it’s a new food to me, but I’m going to attempt what @mandeebraddley13 suggested and maybe I will like it ☺️ … thank you for your videos, I really enjoy watching them particularly as it’s such a refreshing change to have someone real and naturally beautiful (I know you have the shots etc but you’re still naturally beautiful) as opposed to the, instagram worthy fake let me sell you sH1t kind of people, it feels like having a chat with a great friend and you give great, actually doable tips and recipes 🥰
Brilliant thanks for the ideas. I don't have a microwave either so it's good to know how to cook those grains. Also your air fryer is really cool where did you get that?
Thanks Suzanne. I feel having a stock of them in the pantry stops us from the f**k it attitude of ordering a pizza. When we have them we know we can make a decently healthy dinner in minutes!
Haha why? It's my Mom's. She leaves it here, being a fancy lady she only likes to drink from a China cup (which she got in the charity shop for €4 I think!)
LOL... 😂... "fire in the background, real life"... love ya 💜🙏

Hi!! I really like what you did with the marinade for the tempeh!! Can't wait to try it! 💖💖💖
It's honestly so good and then it stays in the fridge for a few days after cooked and just makes the best salad protein xx Let me know what you think when you try it xx
Hi, Carla!
I love radish, but never cooked it before. I’m super curious to try now. I’m glad I have tempeh at home because now I’m craving it 😂
Love your heart necklace.❤

What’s celery root? I know what celery is but I’ve never heard of celery root.
I'd never thought of making into fries!! What a great idea, I'll try it and maybe include it in the next episode xx
In Ireland we call it Celeriac xx
