Recipe of the Month – September
This is one of those dishes that I have had made for me but never attempted to cook for myself. Maybe now I have written this post about Carrot & Broccoli Peanut Noodles I might actually get around to cooking this for myself!
Ingredients
- A head of broccoli cut into florets
- A carrot cut into small cubes
- A small onion, chopped finely
- Olive oil (just a drizzle)
- Noodles. You can use whichever noodles are your favourite.
- Peanut butter (2-3 tablespoons)
- Chilli powder (for heat)
- Soy sauce
- Fresh lime, juiced
- Garlic clove, minced
- Ginger, 1 teaspoon, minced
- Maple Syrup
Method
- Place the carrots and broccoli florets onto a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil before placing in a pre-heated oven to roast for around 20 mins
- Add peanut butter, soy sauce (aim for an equal amount of both) and stir, once you have a smooth consistency add the lime juice, minced garlic and ginger and the chilli powder, stir until all is combined, taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness using the maple syrup added a little at a time. You can also adjust the heat by adding more chilli powder or leaving it out completely.
- Cook the noodles and once the veg has roasted combine with the noodles before adding the sauce.
I have had this dish with other veg added such as sweetcorn, beansprouts and cabbage shredded finely which have all been really tasty!

Weekly Roundup 25/08/19 – 31/08/19
- Reading
I’ve been a bit slow with reading my book this week, I seem to have been reading lots, just not my book. I have been reading blogs and some interesting articles in the Lifestyle section of the Guardian along with some research material linked to my new business.
- Watching
I feel like I’ve not really watched anything much this past week either, though I have watched a few episodes of Dr Foster on Netflix. Also, for the first time in nearly a year, I caught an episode of Eastenders.
- Listening to
While I may not have been reading much, I have been able to listen to a book on Audible thanks to being able to wear headphones in work. I chose Unnatural Causes which is by and read by Dr Richard Shepheard. While the subject is a bit morbid, it’s about death and autopsies, I found it really fascinating to listen to. I think I made a good choice with this audiobook!
- Drinking
While I am a massive lover of coffee, sometimes I fancy getting my caffeine fix from other places. I saw some Monster Energy cans on offer in my local Tesco, in a flavour called “The Doctor” and fancied giving them a try. I find that a lot of energy drinks are overly sweet and stick but these were really nice. The taste was similar to Lilt (which I used to love). I bought 4 cans and have 2 left in work to have when I fancy something cold.
- Doing
I’ve been working towards getting my business ready for the launch which has meant a lot of time on the internet, researching and working on my site coupled with a lot of thinking and note-taking, testing and trying things out! I also visited my parents last Sunday, my brother was down from London so I got to spend some time with him too, Mum cooked a lovely dinner and we had a really nice time just being together.
- Feeling
I’m feeling pretty excited about how well all my ideas are coming together and that I am soon able to launch my business. I am also feeling a bit nervous and have a bit of anxiety around it, worried about whether people will like what I am offering and how well I will do and whether it will succeed. I guess I will just have to wait and see!
How has your week been? What have you been up to? I’d love to hear in the comments!
The Countdown Continues
Only 7 more days until I can share my new business venture!! I’m so excited!!!!!
The Countdown Continues
