Home is where the heart is…

Welcome to Feeling Food

A place to find lots of healthy recipes, where being mindful, feeling truly nourished and fresh, is forever in season.

I love to cook and I love to share simple and uncomplicated recipes.

I’m a Mum of two beautiful boys, one’s a teenager and one’s a toddler, I’m also expecting my third cherub! Life is never dull, everyday brings new gifts!

I want to enjoy my time in and out of the kitchen, so I create fresh, easy and nourishing recipes. I don’t beleive in quick fixes or diets. Feeling good is a culmination of making healthy choices, walking your talk, surrounding yourself with positive company, saying ‘no’, staying to true to who you are and accepting compliments graciously.

I want to live a full life and give my children the best start in life and from my experience of working with people with eating disorders, I know that a balanced and healthy relationship with food is key to happiness.

I sometimes wonder…

It is very simple to be HAPPY,

But it is very difficult to be SIMPLE.

I’m a great believer in mindfulness and am convinced that each of us may transform the way we feel by being more mindful, more present. You are a gift, you are beautiful, and we are all mirrors of each other, TRUE!

I hope you enjoy the recipes and thoughts that I share with you.

The special recipe below is from a post I wrote a few years ago, and reflects pretty much what Feeling Food is all about, indeed what I think life is about…

The Recipe of Life

The essence of Feeling Food…
Ingredients
Trust, an epic handful
Love, 1 gallon, though this has a never-ending flow
Sympathy, use sparingly – we all need to feel
Patience, one level tbsp
Serenity, an endless pour
Truth, only the essence will do
Forgiveness, for ourselves and all
Light to balance the dark
Acceptance, as much as you can afford
Hope, enough to fill the deepest bowl
Faith, in total abundance
MIX an inspired amount of total trust with love.
POUR a few drops of sympathy – taking care not to overpower the blend; flavours and feelings need space to breathe.
HEAT gently over a low flame, this time of year can be very chilly.
SPRINKLE over some patience and plenty of serenity.
ADD truth and forgiveness, with unending light.
FOLD in acceptance and hope, take care here, these don’t always come easily.
STIR everything slowly together and with a steady hand, breathe deeply.
TRUST that the right flavours will develop with enough understanding and thought.
SHARE abundantly and remember friendship is the present we give and receive everyday.
LIGHT a candle on top and thank God for all the loved ones in our lives and cherish the memories of those who are no longer with us, may they rest in peace.
