My Favourite Warming Autumnal Recipes

Anyone who knows me will know that – whilst I love all things health & wellness – I’m also a big 'foodie'. Experimenting with flavour combos, making healthy eating delicious and sharing food with loved ones is my happy place.

Right now, there are a few recipes that I’m making on repeat – they’re warming, packed with flavour & full of nutritious ingredients to help me feel my best this season. So, I thought it was only right to share them with you all!

I do hope they provide you with some inspiration to nourish yourself with some delicious meals.

A family favourite.

This was one of the first recipes that I ever learnt to cook, and it’s still a go-to for me when I’m looking for something easy, warming & satisfying.

The original recipe I used was from Sainsbury’s (see the recipe card linked).

However, I’ve adapted this by:

• Adding a couple of cloves of crushed garlic & few portions of vegetables (e.g., bell peppers / carrots / cauliflower / aubergine – whatever I have in the fridge). I sauté these with the onion.

  
  

• Making my own flatbreads to accompany the curry. My favourite way to do this is to combine self-raising flour with Greek yoghurt, garlic powder & coriander. You can simply mould them into flatbread shapes and fry for approx. 3 -5 minutes on each side in a small amount of oil. They're 10/10 and super easy to make!

I can’t believe that I hadn’t made baked oats until a few months ago! Warmed & topped with natural yoghurt, mixed berries & nuts/seeds – this has been my go-to breakfast recently.

I've been trying out a few different flavours, but my favourite so far has to be my ‘carrot cake’ recipe. The cinnamon & nutmeg give the oats such an autumnal, comforting taste, which I’m yet to get bored of!

This is a recipe that I created from scratch, the full details of which can be found on my Instagram page.

Turmeric is a powerhouse when it comes to anti-inflammatory & antioxidant compounds. However, I used to find it a difficult to include it in my diet on a regular basis…until I started making myself ‘golden milk lattes’. Not only are they delicious, but a great way to end my day with a nutritional boost.

This is certainly a recipe which you can adapt to your taste, but personally I like to include turmeric (about ½ tsp), black pepper (a small amount to activate the beneficial compounds in the turmeric), cinnamon (about ½ tsp), ground mixed spice (about ½ tsp) & ground ginger (about ¼ tsp). I warm some milk on the hob, add my spices and stir on a medium heat for a few minutes. Then simply add to a mug with a tsp of honey, if desired. (And I’ll top it with some frothy milk if I’m feeling fancy – gorgeous!)

Happy cooking!
