WEEK 7 MOTIVATION: Rachel Perry

Rachel has brought her family together through food, exercise and living a healthier life. A great message Rachel, thank you : )

My family has been on an amazing journey over the past 6 months.

The journey is all about our lifestyle, our food, our exercise and how they bring us together. Being the mum of two children with additional needs (visually impaired and immune deficiency), I am always on the lookout for terrific food that can be used at any time of day. Food that everyone loves and that is easy and healthy.

Recently I was given a recipe for a Zucchini, Fennel and Sweet Potato fritter.

Cooking this first as an easy and nutritious dinner, it has now become a favourite. It is gluten and dairy free which works with my son’s coeliac disease and is basically just yum! We cook up a big batch now and freeze them, they are then eaten at any time – planning on adding bacon in the next batch as well. My daughter regularly asks for them for breakfast! It is wonderful to see them eating such terrific food.
