![Coconut Lime Brothy Rice
Boiling Tofu in salted water improves flavour by allowing some salt to enter the tofu through osmosis, creating a firmer bouncier texture, and helps to draw out excess moisture, making the tofu better at absorbing marinade quickly.
Ingredients
-1 pack of firm tofu
- 2 tsp of salt
- 4 cups water
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp corn starch or potato starch
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced (depends how big they are)
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 2 tbsp green curry paste (or you could use yellow or red)
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 15 ounce can of coconut milk
- 4 cups of bone broth (I used chicken bone broth or you could use veggie stock)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- -1 tsp chili crunch (optional but recommended, omit if you don’t like spice)
- Optional garnishes: fried shallots (I do the store bought ones), fresh coriander, spring onion, lime wedge
- On the side: cooked rice, vegetable (I did eggplant, broccoli also works really well)

![She’s never going anywhere.
Red light/ infrared light therapy is increasingly being used by veterinarians and pet owners alike ❤️
Proven Benefits for Dogs:
-Pain Relief
Can help with joint pain, arthritis, and hip dysplasia
Often used for post-surgical recovery and injury rehab
-Reduced Inflammation
Can ease swelling from injuries or chronic conditions
-Faster Healing
Can stimulate tissue regeneration, helping wounds, surgical incisions, or skin conditions heal faster
-Improved Mobility
Great for aging dogs or those with mobility issues—can help them move more comfortably
-Skin & Coat Health
Useful for dermatitis, hot spots, allergies, or even promoting hair regrowth
*look for high-quality red light devices that include both red + Near Infrared wavelengths, so you get surface and deep healing in one treatment
I’m currently using the hoogahealth Ultra series panel
Some scientific studies:
Osteoarthritis Relief – PBMT reduced pain and improved mobility in dogs with hip OA (double-blind RCT, 2020)
📖 publications.companionanimalhealth.com
Joint Pain & Lameness – 6 weeks of red light therapy reduced lameness in dogs with elbow arthritis
📖 PMC6091142
Mobility Gains – Activity trackers showed increased movement after PBMT in arthritic dogs
📖 PubMed: 36377757
Senior Dog Brain Boost – Transcranial PBMT improved cognitive scores in dogs with dementia
📖 PubMed: 38938435
Systematic Review – Evidence in vet medicine is limited, but strongest for arthritis
📖 PMC9951699
Safety notes: while it’s generally safe and non-invasive, please check your dog beforehand and don’t use red light if they have any cancer masses or unknown lumps because it can actually make them worse. Don’t use on dogs with epilepsy.
It’s best to ask your vet about it first!]()

![Middle Eastern Inspired Shaved Tofu Skewers
Ingredients (this makes 4 smaller skewers- video shows double portion)
-1 16 oz block of extra firm tofu (the firmer the better so the tofu doesn’t break easily)
-1/4 red onion chopped into square pieces (I put 4 per skewer for flavour and to hold the tofu in place)
Marinade:
-3 tbsp of olive oil
-2 tbsp tomato paste
-1 tbsp corn starch or potato starch
-1 tsp onion powder
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp smoked paprika
-1/4 tsp cinnamon powder
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/8 tsp black pepper
-optional: pinch of chilli powder
*I made another portion of this sauce on the side on the stove in a sauce pan to add to the skewers after they were cooked
Method:
*if you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes so they won’t burn
1. Drain your tofu of all water. I wrap mine in a towel then place a cutting board (for even distribution) and heavier cans of food on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes (ideally do this for 30 minutes to an hour before you want to start this recipe)
2. Peel the tofu for a potato peeler. Or you could use the side of a cheese grater. It helps to press down and wiggle your peeler a bit. I would do two pieces then turn the tofu to another side while the tofu continues to drain at the bottom (keeping it on top of the towel). Keep any crumbly bits to make something else (you can fry them in the extra marinade if you make it)
3. Mix the marinade ingredients. Add the tofu to the marinade and carefully coat it. Cover and let it sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
4. Assemble the skewers by placing one piece of red onion followed by some shaved tofu (folded over) then another onion (I used 4 pieces total per skewer), tofu, until you get to the top
5. Bake at 180C for 15 minutes, flip over then another 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy
6. Layer some extra sauce on top if you like them saucy and serve immediately

![I micro-dose pumpkin seeds daily 🎃Here’s why you should incorporate them into your regular diet (with other foods of course because these won’t cover 100% of your needs- it’s just a powerhouse to get a lot of good stuff in a small dose regularly)
Why Soak Pumpkin Seeds?
1. Reduces Phytic Acid
Pumpkin seeds naturally contain phytic acid, which can bind to minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium and reduce their absorption.
Soaking helps break down some phytic acid, improving mineral bioavailability.
2. Improves Digestion
Soaking softens the seed and activates natural enzymes, making them easier to digest—especially helpful for sensitive stomachs.
🥣 How to Soak:
Rinse raw pumpkin seeds.
Soak in warm, filtered water with a pinch of salt.
Let sit for 6–8 hours (or overnight).
Drain and pat dry.
You can eat them soft, or roast at low heat (around 150°C / 300°F) until crispy.
⏱️ Don’t Have Time?
It’s okay to skip soaking if you’re eating a small amount (like 1 tbsp/day).
However, for maximum mineral absorption, especially if you’re targeting anemia or mineral deficiency, soaking is ideal.
Who Should Be Careful or Avoid Pumpkin Seeds:
-People with Allergies
Though rare, some people have seed or nut allergies and might react to pumpkin seeds.
-Those with Digestive Issues
If you have sensitive digestion, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or certain gut conditions, the fiber and fats in pumpkin seeds might cause bloating, gas, or discomfort.
-People on Blood Thinners
Pumpkin seeds contain vitamin K, which can interfere with blood-thinning medications like warfarin. If you’re on these meds, talk to your doctor before adding large amounts.
-Kidney Stone Risk
Pumpkin seeds have moderate levels of oxalates, which in very high intake might contribute to kidney stones in susceptible people.
*If you’re unsure, especially with medical conditions or medications, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider before making pumpkin seeds a regular part of your diet.
