This is big for me, I have only recently been including red meat in my diet after not eating red meat from circa 2002! And when I say including, I’ve eaten it about two times this year as I simply just don’t fancy it that often. I don’t have rules around what I eat and tend to eat what my body feels it requires. Although I am very aware if I’ve not taken a break all day and suddenly feeling the need to devour “all the things” but mostly the things with a hefty sugar punch that I’ve likely left eating too long rather than a desperate physiological need for my body weight in sugar.
I was going to include a post for iron using plant-based foods, however, I thoroughly enjoyed this dish, super simple and worth a share.
