This week I'm sharing a really simple lunch. This is one I find as a good "standby" meal as it is adaptable to what we have on hand (eg this one I used black beans, but could use baked beans, chickpeas or any bean of your choice). It is also one that is super easy to throw together so great when the I have no energy or limited time.

Minute Monday: Minimal Effort Foods (MEF) Part4.

This week I'm sharing a really simple dinner. Substitute frozen carrot strips for whatever veg you have or are cheap, we got these in a discount food bundle. So quick, simple but still delicious.

Minute Monday: Minimal Effort Foods (MEF) Part2.

This week I'm sharing a really simple dinner. I added extra minced garlic (we are garlic fiends) but it's completely optional, just tailor to your taste. So quick, simple but still delicious.

Minute Monday: Minimal Effort Foods (MEF) Part1.

This week I'm sharing a really simple dessert I came up with. We were really craving something sweet and comforting after dinner, but didn't have a lot left in the house nor a lot of energy (we had both been sick), wanted to keep it simple. I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of doing it this way before now. So quick, simple but still delicious.

Exciting new series starting Monday.

Delving into not only my experience as a dietitian but also the lived experiences of the physical and mental recovery (and occasional flare ups) from my health conditions and limited income, I bring to you a new series of recipes that are easy to make, little to no preparation, balanced and still budget friendly.

Minute Monday

"Add not take away" this is a message I try to in still in my clients, and live by in my own life....no matter the persons health goals. This solves a lot of challenges people can face with dietary changes, but can also be challenging when you have limited funds available, time or ability.

So one thing I often keep on standby is 2minute noodles (whatever brand or flavour that is cheap at the time) and then ADD to them to make them more filling and nutritious. Some examples include:
- added some leftover meat and frozen veg to make a mini stirfry
- add an egg (I find this is great when I'm sick and don't have much energy or appetite - minimal extra work, not overly filling but extra nutrients)
- add mushrooms, tomato, or whatever veg you have in the fridge to use up
- tin of flavoured tuna
- baked beans

A couple of fellow dietitians recently wrote an article that I came across while starting this post that goes into more detail if you want to read more. https://theconversation.com/can-i-eat-instant-noodles-every-day-what-does-it-do-to-my-health-262507

Dietitians do more than just talk about food. They are trained to support complex patient needs, enhance quality of life for the people they work with and ultimately their contribution reduces long-term healthcare costs. 💪❤️

But outdated regulatory systems are holding them back.

When we don’t make full use of , Australians miss out on:
🚫 Early support to help prevent health issues
📈 Better care for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease
🌄 Access to expert advice in rural and regional areas
🏥 Less pressure on hospitals and busy GPs
💰 Lower healthcare costs and fewer hospital visits.

Let's change that.

Empowering dietitians to work to their full scope means:
✅ Better health outcomes for more people
✅ Smarter, more efficient healthcare services
✅ Fairer access to nutrition care across Australia.

It's time to unlock the full potential of dietitians - for stronger support that reaches every corner of our communities, lower healthcare costs that benefit everyone, and a healthier Australia. 🔓
