So many things run through my mind when I smell the sweet smokey scent of fresh out of the oven roasted potatoes. None that are interesting enough to share.

Everyone I talk to has a love/hate relationship with carbs and that just makes me sad. Food is happiness, carbs are uplifting (literally providing you with energy) and everything in moderation is good for you.

Look, I’m not a health professional and never claim to be, but I do know the choices we make when it comes to the foods we eat are important BUT a scoop of these CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES never hurt anyone.

Here are my food tips for the day - eat local when you can, a protein with each meal (plant based fish meat), add some fiber and colour is key, eat the rainbow.

Now go on and be your bad ass self - you’ve got this ❤️
