Meal Prep Friendly Salad – Lentils And Beetroot – Lasts In The Fridge For Days

I love a good salad. Not the sad type, with just a few scraps of lettuce, and soggy cucumber. I love a salad with a variety of textures and flavours. The only problem I have with such salads is that making them takes a bit of time – time that I don’t have on weekdays. I’ve been on a quest to find or salad recipe suitable for meal prepping. One I can make on Sunday evening and still enjoy on Thursday. I’m happy to announce that I did manage to come up with a suitable recipe!

Why You Should Use Kitchen Scales And Ditch Cup Measures – And Scales Mistakes To Avoid

Whenever I post recipes on my blog, sooner or later I get comments about providing ingredient measurements in grams instead of cups. And I get it – it might be frustrating if a recipe requires a kitchen appliance you don’t have. But if there’s a hill I’m willing to die on, it’s this one – scales are a lot more accurate than cups. If you’re still convinced that cup measurements are better, I invite you to read this post, in which I’m going to try to convince you to switch to kitchen scales.

Weird Foods I Ate Growing Up In Poland

Moving abroad 6 years ago taught me numerous things. One of them was realising just how different people’s dietary habits are between different countries, even when those countries are located in the same area of the world. History also plays a part in it – poorer nations tend to have very different diets than the richer ones. I grew up in Poland, in the 1990s. Now, Poland has caught up with the Western world and young people are well familiar with oat milk matcha lattes and similar staples of 21st century foods. But back in the 90s, things were much different. I recently thought back to my childhood and all of the meals that were part of my usual diet, and realised that a lot of my peers in the UK would be perplexed hearing about my childhood menu. So, I decided to share with you some of the meals that I used to eat regularly. I hope you find this list interesting!

We’ve been spoiled with a hot summer in London this year, but a couple of cooler days last week were a great reminder that autumn is slowly approaching. And to me, autumn is the time for cosy, warming, comfort meals. There are a few autumnal dishes that my Mum only made when the required ingredients were in season.
