May 2019 – Issue 2

May is upon us. This year feels as though it’s racing along doesn’t it? Are you chiseling away at your goals for the year? I set some lofty ones for 2019 & although I’m not exactly on track as to where I wanted to be at this time, I’ve not lost sight of what I want to achieve this year. So, I keep moving forward. I hope you’re doing the same – perseverance, consistency & determination – they’ll help make your dreams a reality, but you’ve got to put in the work. One big goal of mine for the year is to lose weight. Having tried almost every diet out there I decided to just not eat as much, enjoy wholesome, home-cooked food & to rid myself of the guilt surrounding food that so many of us carry. I’m a work in progress – stay tuned.

We’ve some delicious Mexican-inspired recipes whether you’re having a get together on May 5th – Cinco de Mayo, or whether, like most of us, you love Mexican food.

Skewer recipes to throw on the barbie; tropical appetizers & a vibrant jalapeno pineapple margarita that you have to try – don’t be scared, it’s not too hot.

There’s no excuse to not make your own salad dressings with our 12-essential salad dressings. They take but minutes to make & are infinitely better for you than store-bought dressings.

Much anticipated asparagus season has arrived in the northern hemisphere & we’re serving up everything from a soup to a stir-fry.

For a sweet treat there’s blueberry desserts & baking that are perfect for any soiree.

Of course May is Mother’s Day in Australia & America so during the month we’ll be sharing some recipes that would be perfect for you to cook for your mum on her special day – or pass them onto your hubby or kids for them to cook you something.

Have a wonderful month – make May count. Cheers, Lovoni xo
