Slow Cooker Pulled PorkThis slow cooker pulled pork is a great recipe to make ahead of time. It can be used in so many different ways. You can enjoy it alongside a salad for a quick dinner, make pulled pork tacos, or my personal favourite is to make pulled pork nachos, using organic corn chips, a big fresh salad and guacamole - delish!

Homemade Bone BrothBone broth is a superfood in my eyes, especially when it’s made from scratch. It packs a mighty nutritional punch and supports gut health, immune health, skin health, and is anti-inflammatory. Nutritional benefits: Bone broth is mineral rich, because minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus leach out from the bones. These minerals help to replenish your electrolytes. It’s a rich source of collagen and gelatin, two nutrients which are important for connective tissue health, thus supporting gut health and hair, skin and nails (if you’ve got gut issues, bone broth should be on your menu often)! It’s high in glycine, an amino acid also important for connective tissue health (making bone broth great for anyone with arthritis). Glycine is also needed in high amounts for pregnant women. It’s also a good source of protein, with 1 cup containing approximately 7-8g of protein. Here is my go-to homemade bone broth recipe which is super easy to make and oh-so-nutritious!

Come home 8 hours later and you’ve got yourself a warming, nourishing, soulful dinner. My husband and I have been loving this recipe over these chilly winter nights, it’s a cook once, eat twice kind of meal we like to enjoy for two nights in a row.

Winter is now upon us which calls for more warming, grounding dishes. This coconut quinoa curry is a recipe my husband and I have been enjoying regularly over these cooler months. It's a great recipe which you can prepare in 10 minutes or less, then turn on the slow cooker and walk away for a few hours. I like to cook this meal to enjoy two nights in a row for when our schedules are busy to save cooking time, you could also freeze the leftovers to enjoy another week.
