Hi Rose- quick question re the recipe for the Mediterranean Lentil Bowl - is that quantity really 4 portions as when I made it it seemed more like 2 portions - or maybe I'm just greedy?!

As mentioned on yesterday's LIVE - here is the recipe for an easy Kimchi x

Kimchi 

• 1 Napa cabbage, cut into 2-inch strips

• 1/4 himalayan salt

• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons ginger, minced

• 1 teaspoon coconut sugar

• 3 tablespoons water

• 4 tablespoons red pepper flakes

• 1 large daikon radish, peeled and cut into 1-inch matchsticks

• 2 bunches green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Step 1 Place cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt. Mix thoroughly using gloves, if preferred. Place a heavy pot or pan on top with weights and allow cabbage to sit for 1-2 hours until wilted and water has been released.

Step 2 Discard water after 1-2 hours. Rinse the cabbage 2-3 times in the sink until salt is removed and allow to drain in a colander for another 15-20 minutes.

Step 3 Combine cabbage with remaining ingredients (through water) and mix. Using gloves, add the Korean red pepper flakes and begin mixing and rubbing flakes into the mixture. Add the daikon radish and green onions to mixture, stirring to combine. 

Step 4 Once combined, place mixture in a jar pressing down and packing tightly so that the mixture is submerged in its own liquid. Place top on jar and allow to sit at room temperature for 2-5 days. Place jar on a plate since the mixture may bubble over while fermenting.

Step 5 Each day of fermentation, remove the lid to release gases and press down on the mixture to keep it submerged. You can taste a sample each day to decide if the level of fermentation is to your liking.

Step 6 After 2-5 days of fermentation, store kimchi in the fridge.

happy fermenting xx

Just finished the Happy Holidays plan over here in Australia. Feeling very well nourished, lighter and refreshed. Such magic!! Ready for a 39 degree day. 🌞

Hello! Like Helen, I love the look of the January plan. However, I also have a question. I have tried having apple cider vinegar and water and lemon and water first thing in the morning on several occasions. But after a few weeks, my system is too acidic. Is there any way to fix this or is this just not for me? 

Can anyone recommend good kefir brands? 

Hi Rose (& everyone!) 🩷

I’m excited to start the Jan Plan!  Thanks for the fab live… while watching I saw the schedule come up… with the exercise classes. I can’t find this anywhere, it’s not with the food lists and other printable pdf’s. Is there such a thing as I wanted to print it off!? 

thanks,

Gemma 

Hi Rose,

I'm excited to do one of your plans - first time for me. Is there a timetable with suggestions of what recipe to eat on which day? Or is it up to me to pick what I facy from the Recipes file? 

I'm someone who needs a bit of 'hand holding' and would like there to be a suggested timetable for the meals. 

Hi Rose! For one of the future plans in the new year can we please have one focused on adrenals? It turns out I have lower cortisol in the morning but I also know a lot of people have high cortisol. Would be good to learn how to balance the cortisol (and how to manage to give up caffeine 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Thank you so much and Happy Holidays 🎄🥂❄️

Thankyou, thankyou for the respiratory issues session with Dr Mark. It was so informative and helpful. 🙏❤️

Tree and presents finally done.
