✨️❤️‍🔥SING FOR LOVE❤️‍🔥✨️

Teaming up with Rugby Kirtan and Chanting Community and Brookside Farm to create this event has made my heart absolutely BURST open, and I am SO excited to share it with you!

We are coming together to sing for 🩷Love🩷 and for 🕊Peace🕊, to know our own 🔥power🔥, and play our important part in raising the vibration of this beautiful planet earth🌏

Julie and Alex will begin by opening the space with a sacred cacao ceremony, after which Katie will lead us in a self-realisation meditation to move gently from our minds into our hearts 🧘‍♀️.

From here we will flow into 2 full hours of kirtan and chanting, connecting to the divine within us all through ancient Sanskrit mantra🎶.

After a delicious tea break we’ll up the energy with a drumming circle and an opportunity to bring your own artistic offerings, be they in song, music or spoken word.

A closing circle will complete our journey together, followed by a hearty vegan dinner to end our celebration.

We are so very excited to welcome you to play a part in this beautiful and powerful offering!

To book your place just DM me, or you can follow the link in my bio ✨️✨️✨️

👻Better Together👻

I'll keep saying it, because I keep re- learning it! 🤓

We are so much better together! 🥰

In fact, we are of course inextricably Together - energetically linked; droplets of one big ocean...🌊.. and last night's Supper Club reminded me once again.

After a difficult couple of weeks, my instinct is to retract into myself and hide my "ugly parts" away from the world🙈

But then a group of ✨️incredible humans✨️ are brought together once again through our supper club and I'm shown that however I turn up, there is love and high vibrational energy to scoop me right back up. 🩵🫶

talk touched my heart as she described her own negative stories, reminding me we all have them! And candidly sharing her daily work to override them 🙏

And then sharing the simplest but most powerful techniques to support our healing... and of course, they are so similar to the heart meditation we learned from the week before, and the heart math that teaches and adores, and the meditations we do at .eco.farm, and the chanting with Alex and and  at Rugby Kirtan group.... its all the same! Because WE are all the same!

We are all Love 💛 and Light ☀️ and as soon as we remember that, we connect. 🌱🌱🌱

It is very special, in a time when there is darkness and heaviness to overcome in the world, to be surrounded by this powerful ever-growing network of people realising their light 💡 and I am so SO grateful ###

Also grateful you all indulged me in my spooky Halloween menu! Inner child is very delighted! 😆

🥥🥑 Recipe! 🥑🥥

This is definitely my recipe of the year so far - I'm completely obsessed with it 🤤

It is packed with all the healthiest fats you need, and tastes insanely delicious in my humble opinion 😅 (and, it's vegan!)

It's been so fun experimenting with different flavour variations - basically, if you come to any events I'm cooking at any time soon, you're likely to get a taste!

It began with a key lime pie recipe, shared by (THANK YOU!) and I've adapted it to a spiced orange cacao version (totally epic), and this mango and coconut one which went down a storm at this weekend 🥰

I'm excited for what to try next!

And here you can try it yourself, it is SO SIMPLE:

✨️300g mixed nuts
✨️100g dates
✨️2 tbsp coconut oil

Blitz this all up and squish flat into a cake tin to make the base

✨️3 ripe Avocados
✨️juice of 2 lemons
✨️180g coconut oil, melted
✨️120g maple syrup

Blitz all this until smooth layer on top, fridge to set

Cut into 10 - 12 slices

DONE! Told you it was simple 🫶😊

✨️Personal Post✨️

I've just taken on a very special kind of challenge - a 75 day diet and fitness plan!

Those who know me might think it looks like many I have done before.

BUT, this time it is very different and I wanted to share why, as I see the power of speaking out about our truthes and our stories, to better support one another

Despite always loving food and cooking, I've actually spent most my adult life struggling with body dismorphia, self-loathing, obsessive training, binge eating...

I made a conscious decision about 3 years ago enough was enough.

I have been working really hard since then  to change my relationship with myself - I have used embodiment work, talking therapy (THANK YOU ), plant medicine, meditation, affirmations and mantra...

Part of my process of recovery was to stop my strict training and diet regimes and just learn to focus on what's inside...💖
and I'm SO happy that I can finally say I really do love myself 🥰

I can't begin to express how free and joyful this makes me feel, after decades of feeling trapped and hopeless 🙏💖

However, what's been sad is looking back through old photos and seeing just how great I looked all that time I hated myself so much 😪 it's amazing the power of the mind, to shift your reality so completely 🤯

So, this 75 days is for me get back into some healthy routines and re-approach things from a self-loving mindset.

My main goal is learning to trust myself again, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd also be delighted for the outcome to look like I did 3 years ago just before the start of my healing journey! And actually enjoy it this time! 🙈

I'm feeling really excited and motivated to get into great shape again, but this time to really truly enjoy it and have so much love for myself and my awesome strong body 🤩

I'm feeling nervous to enter into a space like this again as it's definitely triggering some old wounds, but I'm feeling ready to take it all on 💪💃

Let's do this!! Self-love for the win! 🥰✨️🥰

🌵🐸🐍DIETA🐍🐸🌵

It's beautiful to see more and more healing work taking place in this country; people tuning into nature, releasing unhealthy patterns, and following in ancestor's footsteps as we reclaim our relationship with mother earth 🌱🙏

In doing this work, we are invited to respect a specific dieta, which can seem overwhelming and restrictive compared to how a lot of us normally eat.

But I'm all about reframing that with a different mindset - if you're embarking on a dieta, instead of focusing on the things you can't have, use this process as a celebration of the abundance of nourishing food you CAN have!

It's a time to really respect the food you eat, where it has come from, and how lucky you are to be able to cleanse and strengthen your body in this way...and of course it can all taste incredible too 😋

Thank you to everyone doing this work and playing your part in saving us all! 🙏

If you host healing retreats of any kind and would like the support of high vibration love-filled meals to nourish your guests, I'm so happy to be of service ☺️

☀️ Thai Griddled Pineapple ☀️

Fruity fun was had today! 🍍🍍

I marinaded fresh pineapple with star anise and cinnamon, then griddled it while reducing the juice and spices to a sticky syrup.

After glazing, I served it up with coconut ice cream, toasted coconut, pomegranate, rose petals, lemon balm and meadowsweet - a floral fusion of English meadow and Thai 😋

💕✨️ I am home! ✨️💕

A little over a year ago, I started making active moves towards finding my home - a place in nature, where I could feel peaceful and settled and still.

After attending the very first session of manifesting course, I wrote a poem describing the place of my dreams...and a year later as my dear friend Immy helped me move in, he said - "you do realise we are standing in your poem right now?!"

I did it - I really did it! My dream is literally now my reality!! 🤩🥳

And what's more, the past year has taught me so much about my need for connection/community...and the universe has given me this too!!🙏💞

Sharing this space with the incredible people behind is all the more magical, and I can't wait for the amazing founder Katie to tell you all about it at next supper club 🥰

Meanwhile, I've been foraging mushrooms, nettles, cleavers, wild garlic and elderflowers ready to bring a taste of what I now call "Home" to our next menu🍴🍄🌿🍴.

My heart!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you

💗HAPPINESS IS THIS!!💗

(I think there are few final tickets left for next supper club on 15th May - head to the link in bio to book)

😋 Eat What You Preach 😋

I develop bespoke meal plans for my clients with specific dietary requirements or health goals...but most of the time the recipes I make are exactly what I like eating too!

Like this suuuuuper tasty kaleola - I finely blitzed 2 whole bags of kale for this batch, along with brazils, pistachios, cashews, pecans, flaxseed, cranberries, coconut, cinnamon...what better way to start getting your greens in for the day?! 🍃🍃🍃

I made this earlier in the week for a client and then couldn't stop thinking about it so made another lot for myself yesterday 😍

Happy Sunday brunching everyone ☀️☀️☀️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍄 St George Mushrooms 🍄🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
..right on queue, just a couple of days after St George's Day, these beauties were true to their name and popped up in abundance for us to forage! 🤗

I cooked them up with butter, onions, cream cheese and loads of black pepper, then threw in some freshly picked blanched nettles and cleavers.

Oh my goodness, it was so delicious!! 🤤

I've had mushroom omelette, mushroom stir fry...and tomorrow I'm going to try some mushroom, nettle and feta filo parcels. YUMMMM 😋

Anyone else out foraging...? I'm going on a wild garlic hunt this weekend too ☺🌿☀️🌿☺

How awesome is it when you meet someone new, and as they start talking about their passions, you just keep saying, "yes! Yes! YES!!" 🙌😄🙌

That's exactly what happened the day I met Cynthia, owner of - the way she spoke about her love of food and it's powerful medicinal properties, along with her desire for more communal eating, the simplicity of healthy food...well, it was like she took all the words right out of my mouth!

I was very delighted to have come into each others lives..and now I'm even more delighted and I will be hosting our next Supper Club not only in Desa Cafe, but with Cynthia as our guest speaker! 🤩💃

I've quizzed Cynthia about all her most favourite healthy foods, and put together a special menu to showcase these 👩🏼‍🍳

💛RETREAT CATERING💛

I simply LOVE how my work evolves and develops with me - this makes me have absolute confidence that I am always offering exactly what I am the very best placed to provide, and am most passionate about delivering, at any moment.

Out of all the work I've been taking on recently, it's become so obvious to me that I need to be cooking for those making the choice to work on their own healing in retreats and wellness workshops 🧘‍♀️🍃☀️

My food is my love💖, and I want to help provide a safe, nourishing and loving space to support people bettering their lives.

If you host retreats or wellness events, or know those who do, please reach out to me, or tag them - let's create a perfect space together 🙏💕🍜☕💙

🌹What's in a name?🌹

I was trekking high in the mountains of New Zealand ⛰when the name Lexi's Loving Spoonful popped into my head.

I find most of my big Life ideas come to me after couple of days of solo hiking💡 (if you've not tried it, TRY IT!!)

There were no brainstorming sessions, spider diagrams, mood boards, pros and cons lists... once the name came, there was no doubt it was there to stay ✔

It just felt exactly right, and made me smile inside 😊,  even though at that point I couldn't say know why...

Recently a new friend of mine asked what my business was called, and when I told him, he replied "that is such a sweet and joyful and nurturing name, and so perfect having met its creator"... and it really made me see with fresh eyes how perfect it is! 😍

My business has evolved/morphed/changed/grown so much over the past 6 years, but two things have always remained - Me, and my Love 👩🏼‍🍳💗👩🏼‍🍳

And that, really, is the essence of it all - Lexi's Loving Spoonful - the clue's in the name!💛

☕ CACAO AMOR ☕

I've been feeling a bit under the weather the last few days...I've been dosing up on a feisty blend of fresh ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and honey - blows your head off but feels so good!

But I've also been giving myself some proper TLC with mugs of delicious, creamy cacao in front of the fire 🔥😊

How good does it feel to really treat yourself? After 20 years of difficult relationship with food, I still find it hard to remember to do this - without any guilt, and not from a place of greed - but from a place of pure self-love.

I'm pretty certain all cacao's amazing antioxidants and polyphenols are going to heal me quicker too, when the intention behind it is so much kinder to myself than it ever used to be 💗

So here's a reminder to anyone else who needs to hear it today - however kind and caring, generous and lovely you are to your friends, family or children - give the same to yourself; it's an unlimited resource! 💙
In fact, the more you give yourself, the more abundant it becomes, how cool is that?! 💛😍💛

💗 Food with Friends 💗

It's one of my favourite nights of the month again - Harriet's Healthy Supper Club! 🌟

After two months away, I'm so happy to be back cooking and connecting again tonight 😊

Harriet and I discovered in a very real sense the expression "team work makes the dream work" when we came together about 9 months ago now, to join forces for her supper club.

I LOVE cooking, but I'm pretty uncomfortable with the hosting bit...Harriet is the best connector of people I know, but not so keen on cooking for loads of people!

Together we make the perfect match and I am so, so grateful to Harriet to have offered me this safe space in which to share my food (and through it, my love) and feel a kind of connection I never even knew I needed!

Can't wait to see everyone tonight, thank you for coming and for filling my heart up 🙏💗

18/02/2023

🌟 DINNER PARTY 🌟

They asked for a fresh and healthy but tasty dinner, so I sent over a bespoke menu and the dishes they chose were:

🍃King prawns, mint pesto, crushed peas and broad beans, lemon oil, pea shoots

🌶 Meatballs arrabiatta, green beans with almonds, Mediterranean roast veg, rosemary flatbreads, rocket and parmesan salad
