This grilled broccolini is so easy I’m not sure it qualifies as an actual recipe! It takes 5 minutes of hands-on time, 5 minutes to grill and it’s the perfectly charred and tasty side to pretty much any dish! Even better? It’s a hormone-balancing superstar cruciferous vegetable!

My Bok Choy in 5 Minutes recipe literally takes five minutes to prepare. This makes it the perfect side dish for beautiful summer evenings, not meant for spending indoors. Bok choy is a cruciferous vegetable. This means it’s rich in compounds that ultimately help us to get control over our hormones at any phase of life, and especially in perimenopause and menopause. 

Oven roasted vegetables have that sweeter, caramalized, mellow yet more intense flavour. This recipe will save you so much time when it comes to meal prep! Carving out 30-40 minutes to roast a couple pans of veggies can save you hours during the week, and will help you to achieve your fat loss and health goals!

Hakurei Turnips are one of my favourite veggies to steam! These are also delicious raw - they’re sweet & crisp but if you have digestive issues, I recommend keeping your raw veggie intake to a minimum. Plus these become buttery & even sweeter when cooked!

Do you go overboard on carbs this time of year? Between gatherings, parties & Christmas cookies it’s easy to do! For this reason, I try to keep my condiments & sauces lower in starch & sugar to help balance my plate. This Gravy is a go-to for me – it’s perfectly creamy, low in carbs & downright delicious!

Cooked radish: the undervalued hack for gut-supportive & low-calorie meals! Radishes are low in carbs but high in fiber, which helps to make you feel more satiated & maintain a decent daily poop. And at 25 calories for 1 cup, this is a great ‘volume food’ if you’re in a cutting phase.

You would never guess this broccoli came out of the freezer. This recipe is a go-to in our house, especially in the winter when there is no fresh produce. Added bonus: it takes 2 minutes of hands-on time.
