Gratitude is a deep appreciation; it can be as small as appreciating the sunny weather or as important as gratitude for your health and family🥰.

In the LIVE session, Jacqui will discuss the mindset and gratitude and explore how you can journal. Also, the benefits of journaling to explore your inner story, beliefs and values and nut out where we need to create change😍.

Cooking Leftovers

Don’t think “Leftovers” think “Ingredients”!

Cook additional vegetables (stir fry, roast, or steam) and then use in dishes during the week such as frittatas, quiches, salads, mince, soups. Want to make a batch of mince go further – add a tin of lentils, chickpeas or beans to the dish with lots of grated vegetables (mushrooms, carrots, zucchini), this bulks up the mince, adds additional protein and fibre, and can be added into your lunch or dinner menu plan and can be frozen.
