Naomi's Healthful Habits

Roasted Cauliflower, Broccoli & Chickpeas with Lemon Tahini 🍋 😋

Who says vegetables have to be boring?

Tonight's dinner was a simple tray of cauliflower, broccoli, chickpeas, and cauliflower leaves, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and seasoned with baharat, sumac, and a touch of salt before roasting until beautifully golden.

Finished with a creamy lemon tahini dressing, it was packed with flavour, fibre, plant protein, and healthy fats.

One of my favourite healthy habits is making vegetables the hero of the plate. With the right herbs, spices, and cooking method, simple ingredients can become something truly delicious.

And don't forget those cauliflower leaves—they roast beautifully and are far too nutritious to throw away!

🍊 Pomelo Season Has Arrived
Pomelo is one of my favourite seasonal fruits. Not only is it delicious, but I love that it takes a little time to prepare. Peeling each segment slows me down and helps me be more mindful of what I'm eating, rather than rushing through a snack.

It also brings back wonderful memories of Israel, where I enjoyed my very first pomelo. Every time I eat one, I'm reminded of those experiences and how food can connect us to special places and moments in our lives.

🥰 Why pomelo is worth adding to your fruit bowl: • Rich in vitamin C to support immune health
• Contains fibre to support digestion and help keep you feeling satisfied
• Provides antioxidants that help protect our cells
• Naturally hydrating due to its high water content
• Lower in calories than many sweet snacks, while still being wonderfully satisfying.

Sometimes healthy habits aren't just about nutrients. They're also about slowing down, being present, and enjoying the simple pleasures that nourish both body and mind.

My first meal back home after four days away was exactly what I was craving – Greek yoghurt, blueberries, cinnamon and a sprinkle of my favourite seeds.
While I always try to make nourishing choices when I'm away, I also enjoy the meals, the conversations, the laughter and the experiences that come with time spent with family and friends.
A few days away won't undo your health, just as one healthy meal won't create it.
The goal isn't perfection. It's having habits you can come back to whenever you get home.
No guilt. No starting over. Just returning to what makes you feel your best.

🍄🥬 Winter Miso Vegetable Bowl 🥬🍄
Sometimes the healthiest meals are also the simplest.
A sachet of organic miso soup doesn't have to be just a cup of soup. It can become the base of a nourishing vegetable bowl packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals, and flavour.
My favourite combination:
🍄 Mushrooms
🥬 Bok choy
🥬 Spinach or kale
🧅 Spring onion
🫛 Edamame
🌿 Seaweed flakes (optional)
🧊 Tofu cubes (optional)
Simply sauté or steam the vegetables until tender, prepare the miso according to the packet instructions, then pour it over the vegetables like a light broth or gravy.
The result?
✅ Warm and comforting
✅ Rich in plant nutrients
✅ High in fibre
✅ Naturally satisfying
✅ Perfect for a cold winter day
It's a wonderful reminder that healthy eating doesn't need to be complicated. A few simple ingredients can create a meal that nourishes both body and soul.
Real food. Simple habits. Better health.

🥑🐟🍳 The Triple – A Family Tradition 🍳🐟🥑
Today I found myself recreating a favourite memory from my childhood.
Every Friday night, my grandmother and mum would prepare what our family called "The Triple."
Traditionally, a slice of challah was topped with:
🥑 Avocado dip
🥚 Egg dip
🐟 Smoked salmon
Layered together, bite after bite, it became a special part of our Friday night family meal.
It's been many years since we've all sat around that table together, but food has a wonderful way of bringing memories back to life. 💛
Today I gave The Triple my own twist using toasted rye sourdough topped with:
🥑 Avocado
🐟 Wild smoked salmon
🧅 Red onion
🍳 Fried egg cooked in extra virgin olive oil
🌿 Herbs, salt and pepper
The red onion was the surprise star. It added freshness, crunch and flavour that brought everything together beautifully.
Not only was it delicious, but it also provided:
🐟 Protein and omega-3 fats from the salmon
🍳 High-quality protein from the egg
🥑 Healthy fats and fibre from the avocado
🌾 Fibre from the rye sourdough
🌿 A variety of vitamins and minerals from whole food ingredients
🏡 One of the things I appreciate most about preparing food at home is knowing exactly what goes into it.
When we make food ourselves, we're not just nourishing our bodies with whole foods. We're also investing time, care and thought into what we eat.
There are no hidden ingredients, and we can choose quality ingredients that leave us feeling satisfied, energised and nourished.
Sometimes the most meaningful meals aren't the complicated ones. They're the recipes that remind us of the people we love, the traditions we carry forward and the simple joy of sharing real food around a table.
