Gotcha!

Cheap, but it made you stop

My mum would disown me if she heard me say that, our proud irish heritage is full of potatoes

And I love them!

They get a bad rap, and I don’t know why

Potatoes are a carb source, that’s true, so maybe the low carb movement hurt them a bit

Also happen to be one of the most filling foods you can eat, and if you’ve ever lived in a calorie deficit you’ll know filling foods are your friend!

That alone is a great argument to keep potatoes (of any colour) in your diet when you’re losing weight

Steak and potatoes will not only hit your nutrient needs, you’ll eat less calories because you’ll be so full!

They’re also cheap, there’s a lot of garbage out there that eating healthy is more expensive

It’s not.

And potatoes are one great example of that

Possibly the best life hack my mum taught me was to chuck a bunch of veggies on a roasting tray

Potatoes, sweet potato, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, onion

Whatever really

Olive oil, garlic, rosemary and chuck them in the over on 180 degrees for 20 minutes

You can even load up 2-3 trays depending on your oven size

Once they’re done, into freezer proof containers and you’ve got veggies sorted for the week

It’s the only meal prep I’ll ever do

You’ve got filling, nutrient dense side dishes for the week in less than 30 minutes
