Fun FOOD in the Office

Some offices go out to lunch but at The Chefs Toolbox we prefer to eat in!!!
Uruguayan Tart, Gluten Free Beef Lasagna, Snazzy Spring Inspired Salads, Cool Citrus Kugelhopf Cake, a Gingerbread House.
and much more adorned The Tool Box Kitchen this week for a lovely lunch.
Cooking at home can be so rewarding. But with everyone getting increasingly busier and busier. I am often asked for simple, nutritious and delicious meal ideas & recipes.
Here are some simple tips I use to keep healthy on the run...
  • Stock up on fresh seasonal fruit & vegetables weekly. Ask your local grocer what's in season; Seasonal produce not only taste's better but it is also has a much higher nutritional value. So don't be shy, ask questions....
  • Add frozen vegetables to your next shopping list. If you do run out of fresh then you always have a healthy alternative on hand ready to go. Frozen vegetables can be added to risottos, stir fry's, curries and even pastas! Bon appetite!
  • Stock your kitchen cupboards with convenient canned beans; cannellini, chickpea, butter beans & lentils. Fish; tuna, salmon, anchovies and vegetables, which are a great healthy meal starter or a perfect lunch idea for home or the office.

Watch this space for more healthy tid bits & recipes to come. In true spirit of the Olympics, which start this weekend we should all be inspired to eat healthy and stay active.

Go Aussies!

Cheers, Amie x
