    Quick meals ahoy! Instant gnocchi takes 2 minutes to cook. Not as tasty as home base but hours vs minutes is a definite cost benefit analysis we have to make sometimes! This pasta sauce was also a super quick throw together. Onions + garlic + red and green capsicum + zucchini + passata in a pot and simmered. That's it. Tbh it wasn't the most delicious and obviously not the most aesthetic thing I've ever cooked but it didn't have to be. It was something I was able to achieve despite being pretty darn sick. #gnocchi #vegan #veganfoodshare #whatveganseat #whatdietitianseat #veganpasta #vegangnocchi #simplecooking #simplerecipe #dinnerforone #quickandeasymeals #notaesthetic #redsauce #vegetarianrecipes #vegetables #eatyourveggies #potatoes #veganfortheanimals #veganforlife #dinner #lunch #throwntogether #tryforfive
    Whatever they are, whatever they do, there is absolutely no shame in needing medication. Medicine is one of the most, if not the most, life enhancing tools we have at our disposal. If you have something that can help you, you should be able to take it without fear of retribution. As a dietitian I see a lot of clients wanting to come off medication using diet only and I'm not saying that this is impossible in SOME circumstances but for many illnesses medication truly is necessary. A nourishing, regular, and satisfying diet can help to support your overall health and wellbeing, it can improve your quality of life, improve your energy and enhance your ability to participate in life, but even with the most perfect diet in the world we will often still require medication at some point in our lives and I want you to know that is totally okay. Personally, removing specific dietary triggers helped me control my migraines and lower the dosage of one of the two medications I take for them but I still need to take them every day, twice a day, or I am completely incapacitated. Food does have power, but it can't be everything. #nutrition #dietitian #dietadvice #whatdietitianseat #melbournedietitian #veganhealth #vegandietitian #medication #medicine #stigma #stigmafree #destigmatize #destigmatizementalillness #mentalillness #mentalhealth #chronicillness #spoonie #foodfacts #nutritionfacts #foodismedicine #medicineismedicine #takeyourmeds #migraine #illness #sickday
    Vegan convenience food is a blessing that I never thought I'd have. Ravioli and pesto by @ipastai with some chopped tomato and mustard greens and garlic bread plus vegan Tuscan mix antipasto from woolies was dinner last night. 3 years all it would have been a Nuttelex sandwich. Many of you will know that I am chronically ill, at the moment I'm worse than usual. Between side effects from medical procedures and losing funding for my treatment my energy levels and motivation are suffering. Being a dietitian I know that especially in times of illness it's important eat, but it's hard to cook from scratch when you barely have the energy to attend your limited work hours and unfortunately you have to make money your priority. I get it. I live it. So you'll never hear me complaining when another vegan convenience food hits the shelves - unless it doesn't taste good. Food first and foremost gives us energy. Pre-made meals like these are not devoid of nutrition by any means, maybe they're a bit less nutritious than if you hand stuffed wholemeal ravioli to the brim, and freshly blended your basil pesto yourself but you need to invest a lot to be able to do that, and not everyone has the capacity. I am a great cook, but I'm also a complex human. I have self compassion and I have compassion for you. I don't judge myself. I don't judge you. There are no bad foods. There are no bad reasons for eating. In the dark times I'm wading through, thanks to the advances in society I was able to enjoy a truly delicious meal on my couch. Something that I could look forward to and take comfort in. #vegan #whatveganseat #veganfood #veganravioli #vegandietitian #dietitian #compassion #selfcompassion #judgementfreezone #selfcare #spoonie #chronicillness #dinner #vegandinner #whatdietitianseat #veganforlife #veganfortheanimals #garlicbread
