Roasted chicken with CurryCoconut Veggies

Getting used to cook according to Whole Life Challenge, not as hard as first, especially in the grocery store, amazing how many isles I can skip  :)

Ingredients might seem expensive but if you plan what you're cooking you can save money when using left overs.
The coconut milk was used for muffins and also hubby used for breakfast (he likes mixing raising, pumpkin seeds, Chia seeds (high in protein), banana and pour in just a little bit of coconut milk

I have the sesame seed oil stored, its a great addition to dull salad or veggies, but don't overdo with it!
I buy different nuts in one shopping, then just ensure those are packed to avoid getting moist. Buy unsalted nuts (whatever nuts you buy), as otherwise you will adapt into unhealthy eating/snacking. Also plan from where you're buying the nuts, and buy bigger packs and then divide into smaller bags- again, saving money! Found a nice little organic/whole food store just next to Spitalfields market that have good selection of organic nuts and dried fruits
