9 months✨ I know you’re here for the food, but

9 months✨
I know you’re here for the food, but I thought this milestone deserved a special spot on the feed🥹.

Pregnancy has been a journey full of big feelings—joy, excitement, and at times, uncertainty, especially after our previous loss💛.

Looking back, this season has softened me. I’ve been kinder to myself than ever before. Slowing down has felt more like a necessity than a choice. Letting go of expectations, timelines, and the need to know what’s next has been a constant practice. Feeling those first flutters to full-on wriggles and kicks have been moments of true awe.

As we near the end, I’m feeling more in my body than ever before, appreciating how it has adapted and carried us through.

We can’t wait to meet our little darling—so soon☺️💛

📸 Thanks @hannahwebbphotography for capturing the journey. Couldn’t recommend her more🙏.

✨Crisp fennel, cabbage and celery slaw with toas

✨Crisp fennel, cabbage and celery slaw with toasted hazelnuts.

Autumn has arrived in NZ, and so has autumnal veggies!🍁

Keep an eye out at your local supermarket or fruit and vegetable market for plenty of:
💚Cabbage: a good source of vitamin C
💚Celery: a good source of vitamin K
💚Fennel: a source of folate and potassium

Make sure to follow @5adaynz for more seasonal inspiration.

Ingredients:
Coleslaw
¼ green medium cabbage
2 celery stalks, leaves included
1 fennel
¼ cup hazelnuts

Dressing:
½ cup crème fraîche
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C bake.

Finely slice the cabbage and fennel. Dice the celery stalk and thinly slice the leaves, then add everything to a mixing bowl.

Roast the hazelnuts for 8 minutes, then transfer them to a tea towel. Fold the towel over and rub vigorously to remove the skins. Roughly chop and set aside.

Whisk together dressing ingredients.

Toss the dressing through the slaw until well coated. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts, reserving a little along with some fennel fronds for the top.

New Recipe🍅🌱 Pesto cottage cheese breakfast

New Recipe🍅🌱 Pesto cottage cheese breakfast toast.

Cottage cheese is one of my go-to’s for a speedy, high-protein breakfast. With its mild, creamy taste, it’s the perfect blank canvas. But the real magic happens when you mix things into it, not just pair it alongside—like vibrant, herby pesto!

This vegetarian-friendly brekkie features 20g+ protein per serve, and comes together in minutes. Super flavourful, but also super fuss-free🙏

If you’d like the recipe, comment ‘pesto’ below and I’ll DM it to you☺️✨

🥹✨ Baba and her cookbook are in ‘Your Weeke

🥹✨ Baba and her cookbook are in ‘Your Weekend’ magazine today - you’ll find it in The Dominion Post, The Press and the Waikato Times (or check it out online!💃).

There’s an excerpt from the book, including some of Baba’s special food stories growing up, plus her ‘famous’ Croatian fried donut recipe (aka fritule or pršule).

Who knew our little project would lead us here💛 Thank you @nzstuff - Baba’s year is made, and it’s only February!🙏
