IS GUILT A GIVEN WHEN YOU ARE A WORKING PARENT?

by | May 2, 2023 | , ,

When I started to really see that my feelings of guilt came from the thoughts I had about myself, I started to see guilt as a wonderful alarm and indicator for me to actually lower my expectations of myself, relieve the pressure and be much more patient and compassionate with myself! It is simply and indicator that our thoughts have gone off in an unhelpful direction.

Brown meat in a skillet over medium high heat .Once browned, remove the beef from pan, leave any fat in there. Sauté onion for about a minute. Add in leeks , carrots, and garlic for 8-10 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Add in salt and pepper, smoked paprika, ketchup, worcestershire and beef and stir.

Auntie Cath Cooks: Honey Soy Salmon with Thai Salad

Auntie Cath Cooks: Honey Soy Salmon with Thai Salad

by | Jul 12, 2022 | Edition 4, Food

Honey Soy Salmon with Thai Salad!

I needed to use up some veg in the fridge. I hate waste!! So if it needs using throw it in!!

Julienne (ish) your veg (posh word for chopping veg into long thin strips) However- to add bulk and noodle type vibes I #spiralized a courgette! If it’s long and thin- I tend to spiralize! Especially when trying to keep carb intake down!! Prep the salad first.

The fish:

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Olive oil
Butter

Heat the oil in pan – meanwhile whisk together the soy sauce, honey and garlic. Set aside.
Cool the salmon skin side down till almost cooked through.
Add one table spoon of butter and melt. Then add the sauce. Allow to thicken for a minute spoon over the salmon

The veg that needed using this particular day:

Courgette
Spring onions
Radishes (obsessed)
Mange tout
Finely chop a handful of coriander
Finely chop one green chilli
Whack it all in a bowl!

For the dressing:

1/4 cup peanut butter or other nut butter
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
Pinch salt such as Maldon

Put all dressing ingredients into a blender- whizz up. Job done! Dress the bugger out with coriander!
