24.01.2022 not gonna lie, I was so close to just buying a carton of almond milk because it would be easier but really if I can watch back to back episodes of rupaul’s drag race then I have time to make my own nut milk. I got this nut milk bag from Ever Eco that comes with a little recipe booklet for almond milk: soak 1 cup of raw almonds in water for 12 hours. drain them & rinse them. add almonds and 4 cups of filtered water to a blender.... place the nut milk bag over a bowl & pour milk into the bag. pull the drawstring and squeeze the bag to release the milk. store in a glass bottle in fridge for up to 3 days.

24.01.2022 well, hot dang. I've taught over 2000 hours of this marvellous thing we call yoga when I stepped into teacher training my thinking was that I could teach maybe once a week, but yoga is all I have done ever since. I am super grateful to be able to do this, and for all the teachers who have taught me, and to all my fellow teachers and friends who keep inspiring me. and most of all so ridiculously thankful for everyone who's taken the time to come to one of my classes and practice with me

23.01.2022 as you enjoy the hottest 100 today keep in mind that it is a sensitive weekend. we have an indigenous history which started a long time before the first fleet landed on australian soil. there are many ways that you can support indigenous australians. theres a petition with amnesty which is very close to its goal that you can sign: https://action.amnesty.org.au/act-now/change-the-date you can join a march in your city on sunday the 26th. remember its about standin...g in solidarity so be respectful, dont feel that you have to speak on anyones elses behalf but listen instead, and make everyone feel safe. read up on the truth about our history, listen to indigenous music, promote indigenous voices, and support indigenous artists. by @lukejohnmatthewarnold #changethedate #invasionday #australiaday #hottest100

23.01.2022 r e c i p e I got this baked and stuffed eggplant recipe from @honestlyhealthy. I couldnt find black onion seeds so used black pepper instead and also added quinoa to make it a little more filling ingredients: 2 eggplants... 3 tbsps sunflower oil tsp black onion seeds 1 clove garlic 1 red onion tsp coriander seeds 600g vine tomatoes 240ml water 2 tbsp coriander 20g pecorino cheese (optional) method: preheat oven to 180c halve eggplants lengthways and score the flesh with a sharp knife. place over a baking tray, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and sprinkle over the onion seeds. bake in over for 40-45 minutes until the flesh is soft. meanwhile, heat leftover tablespoon of oil in a large pan and saut the grated garlic, diced onion, cumin, turmeric and coriander seeds for 1 minute. once the oil is absorbed, add the quartered tomatoes and 80ml water. leave to simmer on a medium/high heat for 15 minutes whilst gradually adding the remaining water until the mixture has reduced and the tomatoes are soft and saucy. take the eggplants out of the oven and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving the skin intact. roughly chop the flesh and add this to the tomato mixture. cook for a further 5 minutes and then add the chopped coriander. spoon the filling into the eggplant skins and either serve as they are or finely grate some cheese over the top and return to the oven until melted.

23.01.2022 one of my environmental resolutions is to try and not buy any new clothes (undies excluded). Im actually pretty good with this already - except for when an event is coming up as I use that as an reason to buy something new. but now I have a lot of pretty things Ive only rocked once or twice that I can totally wear again. to freshen up a wardrobe I love a clothes swap, and weve done this a few times now with the teachers at stretch yoga. its great especially if you cant be bothered selling your old clothes. contact some pals, plan a date, sort through your wardrobe and get swapping. theres also lots of groups on facebook with meet ups too

22.01.2022 I'm trying to make some more fun salads so gave this warm pear & spinach salad a go from Honestly Healthy. it's supposed to be with figs but as they aren't in season I used pear instead ingredients: red onion, sliced 60g green beans, sliced... 1 tbsp sunflower oil 1 tsp apple cider vinegar 1 pear or 3 figs 2 tbsp water 80g spinach 5g parsley 30g pistachios, chopped method: saute the onions and beans in a mixture of sunflower oil & apple cider vinegar for 2 minutes. slice the pear/figs in half and put them cut side down in the pan among with the onions and beans and cook for 1 minute on each side. after you flip them, add the water and leave for another minute. serve on a bed of spinach leaves and garnish with the parsley and pistachios.

22.01.2022 me and em's new pasta recipe we're obsessed with: spaghetti with pistachio, chilli and lemon from @meerasodha. it's so easy and so tasty! we supplement some of the basil with spinach instead to make it a bit cheaper. ingredients: salt 100g fresh basil, leaves picked... 1 garlic clove, peeled 100g pistachios 2 red bird’s eye chillies zest and juice of 1 lemon 80ml olive oil 400g spaghetti method: put a large pan of water on to boil and add two teaspoons of salt for every litre of water. in the meantime, finely chop the basil, and do the same with the garlic, pistachios and chilli. run the knife repeatedly over all the chopped ingredients, until they’re very, very fine, then transfer to a large bowl. add the lemon zest, three tablespoons of lemon juice, the olive oil (if you like, use a little more, to loosen the sauce) and half a teaspoon of salt (or to taste), and mix well. cook the pasta in the boiling water for seven minutes (or according to packet instructions), until al dente. scoop out 100ml or so of the pasta water with a ladle, then drain the pasta. add the cooked pasta to the pesto bowl, toss to coat thoroughly, adding a little pasta water, if necessary, to loosen the sauce, then serve.

22.01.2022 a sweet leek carbonara recipe for all you pasta isolation hoarders out there. I got this from jamie olivers veg book. the original recipe is below but to make it vegan I used dairy free butter, vegan cheeze and nutritional yeast instead of eggs. oh and chilli because its not a kristy dish unless it tastes like burning ingredients: 2 leeks 4 cloves of garlic... 4 sprigs fresh thyme 1 knob of butter olive oil 300g spaghetti 50g pecorino cheese 1 large egg method: trim, wash and finely slice the leeks. peel and finely slice garlic and pick the thyme leaves, then place in a large casserole pan on a medium heat with the butter and 1 tablespoon of oil. once sizzling, stir in the leeks and 400ml of water, then cover and simmer gently over a low heat for 40 minutes or until sweet and soft, stirring occasionally. season with sea salt and black pepper. when the leeks are almost done, cook the pasta in a large pain of boiling slated water according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of starchy cooking water. toss the drained pasta into the leek pan, then remove from the heat and wait 2 minutes for the pan to cool slightly while you finely grate the cheese and beat it with the egg. loosen the egg mixture with a splash of reserved cooking water, then pour over the pasta, tossing vigorously. season to perfection and adjust the consistency with the extra cooking water if needed

21.01.2022 garlic & chilli "prawns" I gave PlantAsia prawns a go. the texture was interesting but after a few bites I really got into it. I used their recipe on the back of the packet and added onion (pan-fried), a bunch of broccolini and served it with udon noodles. ingredients: 1 packet plantasia prawns... 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp garlic paste, or 2-3 garlic cloves tsp chilli flakes method: mix prawns, chilli flakes, garlic and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a bowl. once seasoned, place prawns into a wok or pan. pan-fry seasoned prawns in remaining oil on medium heat for 2 minutes. add brown sugar and thicken with 1 tablespoon of water until caramelised. serve with noodles, steamed green beans or your favourite vegetables.

21.01.2022 afghan bean curry (lubya) | I love this recipe from The Curious Chickpea because its so easy to make and the only thing you have to chop is the onion and garlic!

19.01.2022 I tried another recipe from jamie olivers veg. the recipe says to use sweet potato but I had lots of carrots in the fridge so I roasted them instead (they only needed about 45 minutes in the oven). the recipe also says to use a muffin tray to bake the tortillas, but if you dont have a muffin tray Old El Paso Australia have standnstuff tortillas which are super easy. I also added some mexican rice and refried beans into mine! ingredients: 1 sweet potato (or whatever veg ...you like) 1 tsp smoked paprika 2 limes 1 ripe tomato red onion 4 sprigs fresh mint apple red chilli 1 large flour tortilla method: preheat the oven to 180c. scrub the sweet potato, dust with smoked paprika and roast for 1 hour or until tender. squeeze the lime juice into a bowl. chop the tomato, onion, mint leaves, apple & chilli and stir into the bowl. pinch off and reserve the sweet potato skin. tear the tortilla into quarters, then rack up between the domes of an upside down muffin tray. bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp, tearing the sweet potato skin on to the tray for the last 5 minutes. mash the sweet potato and season to taste with sea salt & black pepper then divide between the tortillas, topping with the apple & chilli salsa & crispy sweet potato skin

19.01.2022 it didn't really hit me until a couple of days ago when class numbers started to go down and classes starting to be cancelled that teaching is my income. it is an unsettling and tough time for everyone and especially independent contractors and small businesses. I understand that people want to suspend their memberships immediately and have notice periods waived, but I urge you to think of these studios and how much that one extra payment can help for them to make it through ...this time and still exist at the end. I also want to thank the studio owners who are doing everything they can to keep classes running so that we have work. for my classes that are still running I won't be using props and will stay teaching from the mat. everything is cleaned meticulously but please feel free to bring your own mat and props and know that you do not have to use any props. I never noticed how much I like to physically adjust you all, so that has stopped too! in this high stress time, coming to yoga will help give your mind a break from obsessing over the things that are happening right now. but I understand the importance social distancing, so please do what you think is best. .

16.01.2022 I love me some palak paneer & found this vegan alternative with tofu from the Minimalist Baker. you can make it in 30 minutes! ingredients: 425g block firm tofu 3 tsp curry powder... 15 ml coconut aminos tsp sea salt 2 tsp nutritional yeast 170 g loosely packed fresh spinach 40 ml avocado or coconut oil 1 tsp cumin seed or ground cumin 15 g minced ginger 1 medium diced white onion 1 chilli (serrano or jalapeno) 180 g can diced tomatoes 4 cloves garlic 60-120 ml vegetable broth or water 2 tsp curry powder 1 tsp garam masala 60 ml full fat coconut milk method: preheat oven to 220c. drain, pat dry then cube the tofu. in a bowl season tofu with 1 tsp curry powder, coconut aminos, sea salt, & nutritional yeast. heat a medium sized pan on medium heat (if using stainless steel add a little oil so it doesnt stick). add tofu & saut 3-4 minutes, or until a couple of sides are browned. transfer to oven & bake for 15 minutes. if you prefer firmer tofu, bake longer. if you want softer tofu that mocks paneer, bake less. set aside to rest in the pan. meanwhile, boil water in a large pot halfway full. heat a large pan over medium heat. add half the oil, cumin seed, ginger, onion & chilli. saut for about 5 minutes until onion is soft & translucent. add diced tomatoes & garlic. saut 3-4 minutes or until tomato has softened. add spinach to boiling water & cook 2 minutes. strain & rinse with cold water. drain well. add tomato mixture, spinach & vegetable broth or water to a blender & blend into a smooth sauce. add more broth or water if necessary. heat the same same pan over medium heat. add remaining oil, curry powder & garam masala & cook for 30 seconds. add the spinach sauce & cook the mixture over medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes to deepen the flavours. if it bubbles too much, lower heat to a simmer. add coconut milk and stir. taste and adjust flavour as needed, adding salt or coconut aminos to deepen the flavour and curry powder for more rich curry flavour.

15.01.2022 I usually use a menstrual cup, but this last period I've tried out reusable tampons. I like the idea because teaching yoga means tight yoga pants so feeling bulky never feels cute, but these didn't work too well for me. they weren't super absorbent so I had to wear my period undies with them but in saying that I bought the regular size and not heavy. changing them was fine at home because I could rinse out straight away, but when I had a full day at the studio and pulled it out I was like uhh what do I do because I didn't have anything to place it in. also, is it too much in a public restroom to wash or empty out reusable sanitary items? I'm not comfortable with it personally but I would understand if a woman chose to do it

14.01.2022 it hadn’t crossed my mind about the plastic bag when buying bread before until I saw this reusable bread bag from Onya. there’s something nice about going to the bakery and choosing your loaf of bread and getting it sliced. the bag is made from recycled plastic bottles. you don’t need a plastic tie, all you do is roll the bag down and use the clips to keep it fresh. it’s also fine to put in the freezer

11.01.2022 the best way to get things done is to simply begin I have so many diaries from when I was in school. my favourite entry to this day was: dear diary, today I found out I need braces. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. with my glasses too, Ill look so ugly (oh young kristy). yesterday I noticed that I was resisting to write. I was coming up with all these excuses and realised I was resisting because I didnt want to be honest with myself. I didnt want to write down the crappy feelings I ha...d for the first day of the year. the new year is all about being fresh and optimistic and I was hungover and had a little bit of PPD (post party depression). but as I started to write it was therapeutic as it made me really think about why I was feeling what I was. it then led to me calling mitch and having such an honest conversation which left us both feeling really great and how to approach a similar situation. journaling allows you to explore, to have an honest conversation with yourself, and help figure out what really matters and is important to you. journaling doesnt have to be an elaborate thing. all you need is some pen and paper and a couple of sentences. for me Im writing one thing Im grateful for, my mood and try to unravel why, and in the calendar part and big highlights. the hardest part is just starting the habit but can you stack it on something else like when youre having your morning coffee? I found this post by simply fiercely helpful. she suggests asking yourself these questions : how do you feel right now? why do you feel that way? how do you want to feel? what can you do to feel that way? www.simplyfiercely.com/start-journaling

10.01.2022 the gorgeous AuroraYoga created this wonderful video of our 300 hour teacher training with Ashtak Yoga School in goa, india. I knew that the training would have a big impact on my life, but I didn’t realise that it would be the beginning of such a major shift in my life. I think about these women almost daily and how each one has beautiful qualities I aspire to. Kate & Gaurav Malik thank you for creating such an amazing program and sharing your knowledge

08.01.2022 these hemp face and body cloths from Boho Things Homewares are a great zero waste and plastic free alternative from usual cotton pads and loofahs. you can wash them in warm soapy water or throw them in the cold wash in a laundry bag. I got them from Biome Eco Stores

08.01.2022 self observation is hard. we’re faced with things that sometimes we don’t want to see. but you have to see it enough times in order to give it up. whatever you need to let go there has to be such a love or acceptance for whatever that thing was for you because they served you in some way. soften, dissolve, evolve

07.01.2022 let's talk period undies. there are more eco choices like organic cotton when it comes to pads and tampons but there's still that issue of waste. when I first heard about period undies I thought they were going to be real daggy and bulky looking, but the designs are actually super cute. I got a pack from Modibodi which came with two undies and a menstrual cup. I felt comfortable all day and didn't feel like I was swimming in blood (I'd like to point out that I am super lucky with light periods that last like 3 days) but they've got five different absorbencies so you should be able to find a pair that suit you. I was a bit worried about smell too but just chuck them in the wash on a gentle cycle and they're good to go and if there is a bit of smell add some vinegar

07.01.2022 today I will not stress over things I cannot control

06.01.2022 I nearly bought a natural mouthwash but saw it was in plastic rather than glass so decided to make my own seeing as I already had the ingredients. I got this recipe from Diy Natural and the items from Biome Eco Stores. I already had the oils but have noticed they have plastic lids - does anyone know an alternative for this? to make the mouthwash just mix all these ingredients:... cup filtered or distilled water 2 tsp bicarb or baking soda 2 drops tea tree oil 2 drops peppermint oil #plasticfreejuly #biomepledge

06.01.2022 this week is the anniversary of the terrible 2013 rana plaza collapse which has got a lot of people asking #whomademyclothes? we need to use your voice to get companies to become more transparent and step up and be responsible for fair conditions of their workers and also their environmental impact I was going to ask at Jeanswest but this is actually the first time since 2014 when I have gone to research the company and they have everything easily accessible on their webs...ite. jeanswest includes information about living wage, location of factories, animal welfare, ethical fashion report (b+), and environmental responsibility. thank you jeanswest for stepping up and a job bloody well done! I can continue to rock this mom jeans Fashion Revolution Aus have great resources on their website to help you ask the question. check out https://issuu.com//docs/fr_2020_getinvolved_citizens_single

04.01.2022 fellow australians, did you know that you can recycle soft plastics by dropping them off to a redcycle collection bin at many supermarkets? basically if you can scrunch it into a ball it can be recycled. like all recycling make it as empty, clean & dry as possible first before dropping it off. after processing the plastic is taken to @replasproducts a manufacturer who makes products like bollards & benches out of the recycled plastic. check out redcycles website and enter your postcode to see which supermarkets are near you for drop off & for a more detailed list of what and what cannot be recycled www.redcycle.net.au/what-to-redcycle/ @ Woolworths

03.01.2022 were all wonder women kristy .... we just get tested at different times in our lives ~ cat, one of my students dishing out the real talk

03.01.2022 it didnt really hit me until a couple of days ago when class numbers started to go down and classes starting to be cancelled that teaching is my income. it is an unsettling and tough time for everyone and especially independent contractors and small businesses. I understand that people want to suspend their memberships immediately and have notice periods waived, but I urge you to think of these studios and how much that one extra payment can help for them to make it through ...this time and still exist at the end. I also want to thank the studio owners who are doing everything they can to keep classes running so that we have work. for my classes that are still running I wont be using props and will stay teaching from the mat. everything is cleaned meticulously but please feel free to bring your own mat and props and know that you do not have to use any props. I never noticed how much I like to physically adjust you all, so that has stopped too! in this high stress time, coming to yoga will help give your mind a break from obsessing over the things that are happening right now. but I understand the importance social distancing, so please do what you think is best. .

01.01.2022 I tried another recipe from jamie oliver's veg. the recipe says to use sweet potato but I had lots of carrots in the fridge so I roasted them instead (they only needed about 45 minutes in the oven). the recipe also says to use a muffin tray to bake the tortillas, but if you don't have a muffin tray Old El Paso Australia have stand'n'stuff tortillas which are super easy. I also added some mexican rice and refried beans into mine! ingredients: 1 sweet potato (or whatever veg ...you like) 1 tsp smoked paprika 2 limes 1 ripe tomato red onion 4 sprigs fresh mint apple red chilli 1 large flour tortilla method: preheat the oven to 180c. scrub the sweet potato, dust with smoked paprika and roast for 1 hour or until tender. squeeze the lime juice into a bowl. chop the tomato, onion, mint leaves, apple & chilli and stir into the bowl. pinch off and reserve the sweet potato skin. tear the tortilla into quarters, then rack up between the domes of an upside down muffin tray. bake for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp, tearing the sweet potato skin on to the tray for the last 5 minutes. mash the sweet potato and season to taste with sea salt & black pepper then divide between the tortillas, topping with the apple & chilli salsa & crispy sweet potato skin

01.01.2022 got pepe's last week and had a bunch of chips leftover so loaded nachos was definitely on the cards. I used 'the best damn vegan nachos' recipe from Minimalist Baker. the cashew-less queso is delicious and a nice break from using nuts all the time. I also went for refried beans instead of black beans because, cravings. check out the recipe here: www.minimalistbaker.com/the-best-damn-vegan-nachos/

01.01.2022 so when you make nut milk you get the leftover pulp which is too expensive to just chuck out. what you can do is make some bliss balls out of them. this recipe is inspired by Vibrant Plate ingredients 1 cup leftover almond pulp ... 1 cup soft dates cup psyllium husk 2 tsp cacao 1 tsp melted coconut oil 1 segment of orange pinch of salt 2 tsp cinnamon method 1. pulse together almond pulp & dates in a food processor to break the ingredients apart. 2. add psyllium husk, cacao, coconut oil, orange, and salt. blend in food processor until thoroughly combined and you get a sticky blended mixture that will hold together. 3. remove the dough from the food processor and add to a bowl. take a pinch of dough, press together and then roll into a small ball. place on a plate and repeat to use up all the mixture. 4. on a separate plate sprinkle the cinnamon and roll the balls to coat. 5. store in fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
