Welcome to my maternity leave! Where I get to rest and recover with my family and you get weekly recipes! As a reminder, for July, August, September and October paid subscribers will be getting four recipes a month - dropped weekly (double my standard drops!). Each month will have a different theme - all voted on by my IG audience.

July: Freezer meals

August: High Protein & Delicious

September: Easy Weeknight Dinners

October: Breakfast, Breakfast, Breakfast

Every month one of the recipes will be an Indian recipe - as I get asked for this quite a bit! It’s been a massive labor of love putting together all these recipes for you guys and I’m honestly so excited for you to get your hands on them.

LOADED OATMEAL

DESSERT FOR BREAKFAST

The heading really says it all - it’s hard to parse out whether this is a dessert or a breakfast for the pure decadence of it. The only thing pushing it breakfast leaning is the health aspect. If you really want to bump up the healthy kick to your day, the oatmeal goes great with a stir of protein powder in it as well.

This breakfast is such a treat I find myself craving it with a sort of desperation. It’s hard to find a trio more compatible than cold crunchy fresh strawberries, nutty cocoa nibs and creamy pistachio paste.

Below this paywall you’ll find my recipe for Pistachio Strawberry Oatmeal. If you choose to be a paid subscriber to access, I thank you! Developing recipes (well) takes time and can be quite costly in ingredients. If you upgrade to a paid subscription, you will receive new recipes 2x per month (minimally). During my maternity leave (July - October) you’ll get 4 recipes a month!
