Breakfast

Breakfast has become massively important. My wife, Shelley, is studying nutrition, so we’ve been fermenting chia seeds with berries and walnuts, and I like juicing cucumber, celery, apple, carrot and ginger. Then we’ll have boiled eggs with Shelley’s homemade sourdough. It’s very different from the cereal and toast I’d have years ago. If I heard myself back then saying this, I’d be wondering what went wrong.

Lunch

Lunch is the main meal of the day. Eating a lot at night just stopped making sense. When we have time, we’ll stick a chicken in the slow cooker with every vegetable you can think of, head out for a walk and come back to the awesome smell.

Snacks

I fill my bag with things like walnuts, raisins and seeds. I have a penchant for really dark chocolate, like 85% Green and Blacks. Shelley came home the other day with chocolate that had fermented goji berries in it. It was a nice idea, but it didn’t do it for me.

Dinner

We might have salad or Shelley will make butternut squash or lentil soup from leftover stock. She also makes a kefir yoghurt, which I might mix with avocado, raisins and flax seeds. Depending on how I’m feeling, that might be all I need. I enjoy cooking but I have a fair bit to learn.
