Holiday Lunch Ideas

It’s the holidays and we have to eat!

I don’t know about you but I find coming up with weekend lunch ideas such a challenge let alone the holidays.  Coming up with something healthy for the family to eat that’s quick and easy, appropriately “lunchy” and relatively healthy at the same time can really hurt the brain when it’s supposed to be at rest.  And variety is the spice isn’t it.  They don’t want the same thing all the time and neither do I for that matter.

To compound the degree of difficulty, none of us here do well on gluten so we can’t just pop down to the bakery for a few bread rolls – ah those were the day!  I love the weekends but I don’t love weekend lunch making decisions!

And now it’s the holidays and my problems are simply multiplied.  But I do have the resources!  I do have the ideas.  I just need to write them down in one place!

So here it is.  My list of quick and easy family friendly lunch ideas that can take you through the holidays and then into the weekends again when the world gets back to normal all too soon.

Try these:

  • Good sausages (preferably organic and preservative free) – done on the barbie of course.  Chopped up on a central platter so everyone can pick at them with their own fork.  Serve with good quality mustard.
  • Chicken satay – chopped up chicken thighs marinated in peanut sauce and threaded onto skewers and grilled on the barbie.  Make a stack of them and throw the ones you don’t cook in the freezer.
  • Salad bowls – Need to get more veggies into the day (who doesn’t!)?  Try a salad bowl. An individual bowl for each of you.  Try lettuce, baby spinach or rocket and then some other colours – grated carrot, grated raw beetroot (so good!), cucumber sliced or cubed, snow peas, capsicum, baby tomatoes, some real fermented sauerkraut, avocado and/or hard boiled egg as well as some grated cheese or cubed feta and some cubed cold meat like leftover roast lamb or Christmas ham or turkey or shredded chicken.  Dress it all with a yummy home made dressing and dig in.
  • Or more salad – a Caesar salad (sans croutons for us) with cos lettuce chopped into wide strips, crispy quality bacon, grated Parmesan cheese and a creamy home made dressing. Toss and top with a lightly boiled and “carefully” peeled egg (a 3 minute egg would be perfect).
  • Or more salad and our personal favourite- a different take on a Caesar Salad- Bacon, lettuce, feta and pine nuts salad.  Lots of fresh Lunch ideasmesclun style lettuce with crumbled feta and chopped crispy bacon, dressed with a good home made dressing and lightly toasted pine nuts scattered over the top.
  • And another salad – Roast Sweet Potato and spinach salad – Roast some cubes of sweet potato in ghee or coconut oil till golden caramelised.  Cool slightly and then toss in lots of baby spinach leaves, some feta and pine nuts (we like pine nuts, you could use any nuts you like or leave out).  You could throw some shredded chicken in too if you like.
  • Beef burgers – (or pork or lamb or a combination) grass fed mince (the fattier the better for burgers), salted with Himalayan salt.  Mix well and form into patties.  Gently grill on the barbie.  Serve with chutney and a salad.  Make lots and freeze them.
  • A leftovers platter – at this time of the year, that consists of ham, turkey or whatever cold meat is in the fridge, olives, celery sticks, left over chicken liver pate, carrot sticks, perhaps some leftover cheese, dill pickles, baby tomatoes.  Put it on a gorgeous platter and offer individual plates for everyone to take what they please.
  • Chicken wingettes – a family staple in our house and great because they are cheap.  A kilo of chicken wings will feed 5 people Lunch ideaseasily – we use a half kilo for the 3 of us but 1 of us only eats a few as she’s smaller than the others.  Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.  Make a rub by mixing 1 tsp each of smoky paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Himalayan salt, sesame seeds and some chili powder to taste or black pepper if you prefer.   Grab some organic (or at least proper free range) chicken wingettes, wings or “drumettes” and pop in a container with a lid (I use a large glass snap lid container but whatever you have) and cover with rub.  Put lid on tightly and shake to cover chicken.  Place on oven tray and bake for 20 minutes on 200 degrees Celsius, turn wingettes and cook further 5 minutes.  Eat! Yum!   Can also be cooked on the barbie!  And be adventurous with your rubs/marinades. There are lots to choose from on the internet – be careful if you pick one with sugar in it as sugar burns and goes black if cooked too high.
  • Chicken nuggets with a salad.  We use thigh fillets cut into nugget sized pieces and soaked in buttermilk or yoghurt (fermented dairy seems ok with us) and rolled in almond meal mixed with grated Parmesan then fried in ghee.
  • Scotch Eggs – a bit more trouble but very delicious if you have the time.  I like this recipe from Eat Drink Paleo
  • Mini Tacos – a good one if you have cooked up some Mexican flavoured mince in the freezer.  We spice up 1 kilo of grass fed beef mince with 1 and a half teaspoons of ground cumin, 1 x teaspoon of Himalayan salt (more if you need) and 1 teaspoon each of chili powder (more if you like) and black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and a 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano,,, and fry it off in some ghee in a fry pan.  Pop in in a bowl on the table with the usual taco gear – bowls of grated cheese, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and whatever else you like – avocado, grated carrot, cucumber cubed and a bowl of certified organic corn chips (I’m pretty fussy about this as there’s lots of rubbish corn products out there including GMO corn and unless it’s certified organic or says very clearly on the label, you just can’t be sure – don’t do GMO corn, it will ruin your gut bacteria!).  Grab a corn chip and pile up the ingredients any way you like. Messy but fun! Kids love this one!
  • Sweet Potato wedges with sour cream and guacamole (inspired by Lola Berry’s The Happy Cookbook – highly recommended).  Cut your sweet potato into long fingers and oven roast in ghee till golden caramelised then serve with sour cream and guacamole for dipping – you’ve seen this kind of thing done before.

 

I’d love to know if you have any other ideas for yummy weekend/ holiday lunches.  Let us know in the comments

Love

Ros

Shhhhh Often the most powerful thing you can do i Shhhhh

Often the most powerful thing you can do is say nothing.

At least until you are recognised.

Especially if you are a Pure Generator, a Projector  or a Reflector in your Human Design 
If you are one of these 3 types, you need to wait for others to recognise you before you communicate with them.

It is in your silence that the others have the opportunity to "reach" into your energy field and know that you have something they need to hear or know.

If you are one of these 3 types and you do speak without being recognised, you may find yourself not being heard... or  responsible for making others angry or frustrated with you... or you may even have your ideas stolen.

But, if you remain quiet until you are recognised,  you WILL be recognised for the gold that is within you.

And you will know that this is true for you and that it always has been.

You absolutely will.

#humandesignreading #humandesign
Open Sacral people can be great at knowing what th Open Sacral people can be great at knowing what the energy of others is like.

Is it stable or chaotic? 
Are they doing too much or leaving energy on the table? 
Are they operating within appropriate boundaries or way outside them?

They know when others are using their energy in a way that is good for them or when they're not.
 
They are able to be wise about the way others are dynamic, creative, nurturing, intimate, compassionate & operating in response.

It's this ability to feel into how 70% of the population are using their energy that makes them so wise about it.

But it can take a few years to develop this wisdom – a few years of getting caught up in trying to use energy they don’t have.

Remember, if your Sacral energy centre is Undefined (open), you get to observe and become incredibly wise about the ways that others use this energy.
 
But it’s NOT yours.  You job is to respect the inconsistency of your own energy flow - to work when it feels good and appropriate, and to stop when it doesn’t. 

Otherwise, you’ll burn out!

It doesn't matter whether you agree with others or It doesn't matter whether you agree with others or completely disagree. Show kindness everywhere and to everyone.

Kindness is so incredibly powerful. So much more powerful than bigotry, intolerance, jealousy, hate or the cause of them all, fear.

We never know what's going on in someone else's life that might cause them to hold on to their fear. A little bit of kindness in the moment could change their world.

When we express kindness, we can shift through anything.
Fill the world with enough kindness and it cancels out the fear.

It's where our planet is headed anyway.

Always be kind, always.

The beautiful quote on this post has been attributed to both C Neil Strait and to Plato!  I’m guessing Plato said it first in his own inimitable way.  But Neil translated it for us.

Have you ever felt like it was wrong to change you Have you ever felt like it was wrong to change your mind?

The thing is, the mind for more than half of us, really is designed to change - depending on the energy of those around it.

Specifically, an Undefined Ajna Centre, which together with an Undefined Head Centre, is taking in the 'mind' energy of those around it and swirling it around making it even bigger through its amplification process.

This means it gets to look at all possibilities (or at least as many as it is exposed to). 

It gets to 'see' what's going on out there and to run all this information through it's hardware to work out what is true for it- a try before you buy situation.

An Undefined Ajna means you have the potential to become deeply wise about thinking, learning and processing.  Because you, get to experience thinking,  learning and processing from so many perspectives. 

But it can be confusing to have so much information, often conflicting, coming in - especially in your younger years.

And this can lead to a lot of mind changing.

Imagine thinking changing your mind was a sign of weakness; dithery or even fickle.

Changing your mind can be a sign of strength, of maturity and wisdom and certainly of being exposed to new information that has yet to cross your radar.

Your strategy and authority will always guide you in the right direction when it comes to making decisions that are correct for you.

But thinking openly and mind changing are in the wheel house of the Undefined Ajna. 

You're allowed to use your mind for thinking and playing with possibility. Just don't let it make a decision for you!

Much love!
💜💚💜💚💜

There really IS no such thing as normal!

We are each so incredibly different from each other. Each here to learn different things. Each here to have a different experience. Each here to make a difference in our own unique way.

Part 3 0f a 3 part series on Human Design Manifest Part 3 0f a 3 part series on Human Design Manifesting Generators.

THE MANIFESTING GENERATOR STRATEGY  is:

1️⃣ To wait for something to respond to before taking action.

2️⃣ To envision in their mind what that might look like.

3️⃣ To ask their sacral if this is correct for them.

4️⃣ If it’s a yes, to inform everyone who will be impacted by this course of 
action. (hint…this is a super important step that is often overlooked by MG’s)

5️⃣ Take action!

THINGS TO RESPOND TO.

Someone saying “you’re really good at something” (eg, writing recipes/teaching/mindset etc).

Someone suggesting that “You should write a cookbook/run a mindset seminar”

Seeing a number plate/ licence plate that seems to have a message

Billboards, advertising that you see • TV show, movies, magazine ads/articles, songs on the radio, books you’re reading?

And literally 1000’s of other things that show up for you as signs outside of your head.

🔹️Refer to my previous post for Pure Generators for other ideas.
 
Like the Pure Generator, once something shows up in your external reality for you to respond to, you need to ask your sacral if this opportunity, this potential action, is correct for you.
 
For more information on the Sacral on this, listen to the Essential Oils by Design podcast episode called “The sounds of the Sacral and how to use it”. 

Informing is a vital part of the Manifesting Generator strategy. 
Informing is an on-boarding process that aligns all of the energies around your decision.
 
It’s not about you asking for permission. 
It’s about familiarising others with what is about to happen so that your energies are in alignment.
 
Because Manifesting Generators go so fast, they often forget to inform.
And then… it doesn’t work. People get angry with them. It’s not fun.

Informing prevents this.
 
Be a good Manifesting Generator.

Follow your strategy, and especially… don’t forget to inform!
 
Manifesting Generators are here to do a lot.
 
They light up the world with enthusiasm and passion.

 💜💜💜

I do hope you've enjoyed this series on the 5 Human Design types. If you missed any of the types, be sure to check out the previous posts.

Part 2 of a 3 part series on Human Design Manifest Part 2 of a 3 part series on Human Design Manifesting Generators.

Manifesting Generators are often going very fast and have several things on the go. They 
actually NEED to be doing more than one thing at a time!

Because they go fast, they can make mistakes and often need to go back and fix things. This 
is what they do.

It’s important to be ok with this aspect of your energy if you’re a Manifesting Generator!

Because they go fast, they work out which corners can be cut. Most shortcuts were invented by Manifesting Generators.

Frustration and/or anger can and will be experienced if they don’t wait for those previously referred to “signs” to show up in their external reality and instead just ‘push’ and try to make things happen.

The biggest challenge of the Manifesting Generator is to TRUST that this energetic 
communication with The Field is happening. Trust that life will come to you! 
The Manifesting Generator’s aura is always communicating with the Universe. It’s always letting the Big U know what you need so you can be brought things to respond to. MG’s have an energy field of “availability” around them.

Manifesting Generators need to wear themselves out each day in order to be able to get a good night’s sleep.

There is sometimes a distinction between the two Generator types and the way they go to 
sleep. Man Gens can be so busy with so much going on in their lives and their heads, that for many, it’s important to get into bed and read or work quietly for half an hour or so to allow their energy to wind down before actually falling asleep. Try it out and see if it works for you.

Stay tuned for part 3 on Man Gens. 💚💜💚

 #humandesign #humandesignreading #manifestingenerator
Part 1 of a 3 part series on Human Design Manifest Part 1 of a 3 part series on Human Design Manifesting Generators.

Manifesting Generators make up around 30% of humanity.

They are a hybrid of the Manifestor and the Generator but they are first and formost a GENERATOR type.
 
Just like the Pure Generator, Manifesting Generators are here to find the right work.

They are here to build, to make, to create and to love doing it.

The big differences between the two Generator types are that Manifesting Generators go fast, usually like to have lots of things on the go and in their rush will often make mistakes which need to be fixed.
 
Manifesting Generators need to be doing more than one thing at a time. They do much better when they have several things on the go at once. Staying put – in the one place until a job is finished, is often “too boring” to think about for Man Gens’.
 
Before you read any further you might like to go back to my previous posts on Pure Generators because much of the information there is also relevant to Manifesting Generators. (Although I bet you don't - you'll keep reading and then go back, as stopping reading this to gain more knowledge first isn't the way you tend to roll 😉)

MG’s need to wear themselves out each day just like Pure Generators do. If they don’t, they won’t be able to sleep. 
And… if they’re not doing the right work they WILL burn out.

With their motorised throat, Manifesting Generators are able to initiate conversations like a Manifestor can. They can be heard by others without waiting to be recognised. For example, they can strike up a conversation with a stranger at the communal table at a coffee shop.
 
And like Manifestors, Man Gens because of their motorised throats, don’t really need others to be able to make things happen. In fact, many prefer to work alone.

Stay tuned for part 2 where we'll talk more about Man Gens

Part 3 of a 3 part series on Human Design Generato Part 3 of a 3 part series on Human Design Generators.

THE GENERATOR STRATEGY IS… TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO RESPOND TO BEFORE TAKING ACTION.

This means that you are always on the lookout for signs. You are always looking out for things that show up in your external reality to respond to.

Here are some examples of things to respond to.

Emails that show up with information about free webinars on a subject you might be interested in.

Requests from someone asking you to do something, create something,contribute to something.

A book that falls off the shelf in front of you at the bookshop.

The words of song on the radio.

A client asking you if you would consider offering a particular service.

The movie or advertisement you’ve just seen that seems to have a messagefor you.

And perhaps more mundane but by no means irrelevant - The pile of dirty laundry that reminds you to wash it.

These are just a few of the literally thousands of responding opportunities that might show up for you. (Check out my upcoming post on Manifesting Generator’s for more examples)

And it’s super important that you only respond to things that show up outside of your head.

You CAN’T respond to ideas or visions or dreams. They are NOT in your external reality.

But there’s no reason why you can’t ask for them to show up externally and then respond when they do.

Once something shows up in your external reality you need to ask your sacral if this opportunity or action is correct for you.Your sacral will answer ah ha or uh uh for yes or no.

When you tune into your sacral, it answers yes/no questions for you.
(For more info on this, listen to episode 22 of the EssentialOils by Design podcast )

Because of the world we live in, Generators have often been conditioned to think that they are Manifestors.

They are constantly told by others to “make it happen”, “just do it”, or asked “what are you waiting for?”. They believe that they must push… initiate, just do it, rather than wait for something toshow up to respond to.

And then…it doesn’t work.

Waiting for something to respond to prevents this.

Be a good Generator. 
Wait.

💚💜💚

Stay tuned for Man Gens xx
Part 2 of a 3 part series on Human Design Generato Part 2 of a 3 part series on Human Design Generators.

Generators have a stairstep learning pattern where they come up against plateaus and nothing seems to be happening.

Sometimes they’ve been doing something for a while and they get stuck or bored. It’s at this point, that they often want to quit. But if they’ve entered into the action correctly in the first place by using their Sacral response, (more on that in the next post) then it may just be a matter of waiting for the next thing to respond to.

And this “next thing to respond to” is often just around the corner.

This elevates them up to the next stair in their learning curve. If you’re a Generator and you’re ever wondering if you should quit something, ask your Sacral. You may be surprised by its answer.

Sometimes, when they wait, Generators gain a surge in mastery over whatever it is they are doing. This takes them to the next level. All of a sudden, they can do with ease what was difficult to do last week.

Generators, with their non-motorised throats, need other’s to be able to make things happen. They are people who need to be in the energy of other people. They need the electro-magnetic connections that others have to get energy to their throat in order to make things happen.

Generators need to wear themselves out each day in order for them to be able to get a good night’s sleep. They need to go to sleep when they are tired.

If they push through to that second wind, it will be too late & they can really struggle to get to sleep.

After that good night’s sleep, they can get up and do it all again the next day.

Generators are here to lead a happy, fulfilled, satisfied life.

And they can do so much when they wait for something to show up to respond to.

They’re dancing with the Universe!

Stay tuned for part 3 soon!

Stay tuned for part 3 where we'll talk more about Generator strategy.

I'll be covering off each of the types in the next several posts. 💜💚💜
