Happy holidays, dear foodie-friends and my sincere apologies for my spare recipe-shares. Our little daughter is keeping me on my toes and there is very little, to almost no time for Judy at the moment. She is the most wonderful little person though and I treasure every moment despite the busy-ness. Every day is a new adventure and a great way to learn patience and practice deep heart breathing...
I had my lovely mother visiting from Germany and my wonderful in-laws from Scotland straight after, so I didn't really have to think much about food. That quickly changed when everyone went home and Allan had to go away for work. With very little time it's hard to prepare good food and I found myself snacking on things ALL THE TIME, instead of preparing well balanced meals. There is a small Asian takeaway shop around the corner selling Vietnamese spring rolls and Sushi and I was one of their best customers in the last few weeks. But now it has to stop: I want my healthy-eating Judy back!
I'm starting to figure things out a bit better with Antonia and finding gaps in my day to prepare food and look after myself again.
This backed aubergine stuffed with Quinoa and veggies is an excellent way to use up what's in the fridge and still get a good, satisfying meal. It might not sound like a super glamorous holiday meal but trust me, it's bloody good AND easy to make.
Chop up the veggies when baby is asleep and mix together 20 min before you want to eat - done!
With this last recipe of the year I am wishing you all the most amazing holiday season. Keep up those fun loving moments and thank you for your support this year. xxx
