My kids love to eat corn on the cob, I think most people do. Besides the picking corn out of your teeth part, eating corn this way is fun and somehow makes it taste better! We have always boiled our corn cobs until last year when my Auntie showed us how she roasts them in […]
Clean Eating Lentil Shepherds Pie
Get ready for World Vegetarian Day this Sunday 1st October with a delicious, hearty and super healthy Clean Eating Lentil Shepherds Pie. You know how much I love lentils, I could quite happily eat them every day. I add them to everything and anything and my family think I’m crazy for it. Apart from my […]
Clean Eating Tomato & Spring Onion Scrambled Eggs
I love being able to pop over to my mums house in the middle of the day, child free! For most of my married life my parents lived an hour away from us but 3 years ago they moved closer to us and now that both of my boys are in school, it has been […]
Clean Eating Lemon, Parsley & Salmon Quinoa
I love salmon! Fresh, frozen, tinned, smoked it doesn’t matter I just love it. Tinned salmon is a great item to keep as part of your clean eating cupboard essentials. It is really handy to have around and can be used in many different ways. I love this combination of salmon, lemon, parsley and spring […]
Clean Eating Tomato, Pesto & Feta Omelette
This is most definitely the worlds best omelette! I’d almost forgotten about how often I used to make this until I was scrolling through old photos on my phone and found a picture of it. (Some people take pictures of their kids, I take pictures of my food). I used to make pesto all the […]
Clean Eating Organic Beef & Black Bean Chilli
Just when I thought the summer had arrived, the heavens open and remind us all that we live in Britain, not Spain. With the chillier days come the need for some comfort food. Today especially as I had to fetch out my winter boots to do the school run. This chilli was just what I […]
Clean Eating Roasted Veggies & Lentil Pasta
I wish I’d had all of these meat free recipes a few years ago when I did a 21 day vegan cleanse. It may have made my experience a little more enjoyable. When you take meat out of your diet it is really important to replace the protein and any vitamins and minerals that you […]
Clean Eating Turmeric Chilli Chicken Noodles
When the sun is shining and the kids are at home there is nothing I like more than a super speedy dinnertime meal. I love being in the kitchen and spend a lot of my time in there but never to cook long, over complicated recipes. I don’t even cook roast dinners because they take too […]
Clean Eating Turkey, Corn & Black Bean Tacos
I like to think that there is someone else out there who loves turkey mince as much as I do. We never ever ate turkey mince growing up, in fact I had never heard of turkey mince until I was about 21 but now it is something I buy every week and I absolutely love it. I […]
Clean Eating Chicken Fajita Kebabs
We have enjoyed (endured) some really HOT days this summer. The only problem is that our garden isn’t quite finished yet and we haven’t been able to put a BBQ out so instead of cooking dinner outside we have had some fun ‘indoor bbq’ dinners and the kids LOVE them! I was so impressed at […]
Clean Eating Mexican Fried Egg
I’ve pretty much made it my mission to keep reinventing the humble egg. Such a small, inexpensive powerhouse, packed with protein, fat, vitamins and minerals it’s easy to see why they are a clean eaters best friend. (Unless of course you are allergic to eggs… Then maybe not so much). I love eggs and I eat […]
Clean Eating Summer Roasted Veggie Quinoa
Here is a great recipe for Meat Free Monday! Roasted summer vegetables with protein packed quinoa, topped with salty, creamy feta and fresh parsley. It is simply summer in a bowl. Despite what appears to be a long list of ingredients, this is actually a very easy, fuss free meal to put together. Chuck the […]
Clean Eating Chinese Turkey Pepper Stir Fry
I love a bit of weeknight ‘Fakeaway’. Indian, Chinese, British… It doesn’t matter, my kids think I am supermum when I cook up homemade takeaway food. Egg fried rice is a winner in our house, and so easy to make. Just cooked wholegrain rice, scrambled eggs and whatever spices you like, its amazing how kids […]
Clean Eating Organic Beef Burgers
For the days that you just NEED a big juicy burger (because I am positive those cravings don’t just happen to me) here is a delicious organic beef burger recipe for you to make at home, with real ingredients in less than 30 minutes. I’ve been making these burgers for a little while now, (you might have […]
Clean Eating Smoked Salmon & Veggie Omelette
You can never have too many egg recipes in my opinion and an egg recipe that contains smoked salmon is always going to be up there with the best! Omelettes are usually reserved for weekends in our house. There isn’t as much time to sit and patiently wait for an omelette to cook perfectly during […]
Clean Eating Coriander Carrot Chips
As seen on Instagram, think carrot and coriander soup, but in chip form… Yum! It’s fun finding new ways to reinvent veggies and in my experience you can pretty much cook any vegetable in the shape of a chip and sit all smug whilst you watch your kids devour them. I used my ActiFry to […]
Clean Eating Savoury French Toast & Smoked Salmon
I am always a little suspicious when the word ‘savoury’ is used in a recipe title. It suggests to me that the recipe should really be sweet and leaves me with images of myself eating a slightly ‘savoury’ porridge once which was just wrong. You know how I feel about my porridge. It should never […]
Clean Eating Roasted Butternut & Sausage Spaghetti
I LOVE sausages, always have always will. It is very hard to find real, ‘clean’ sausages in the supermarkets, although there are an increasing number of brands that are bringing out cleaner, healthier no nonsense sausages which is great. I love these little chipolata sausages from Waitrose. They are pretty good on the healthy front and […]
Clean Eating Rainbow Tuna Salad
I am fighting off the beginnings of a cold so in between the spoonfuls of manuka honey I have been consuming for the past three days, I am trying my best to eat some health boosting food. This rainbow tuna salad was just perfect. Light but filling and packed with fresh veggies and lean protein it makes […]
Clean Eating Smokey Turkey Ragu
Is it bad to give this recipe a fancy name like ‘ragu’ just to try and disguise the fact that I am posting yet another turkey bolognese recipe?! I promise this one is ever so slightly different from the other 100 I have already posted on the blog. Seriously though, you can never have enough bolognese […]
Clean Eating Paprika Prawns
If you are looking for a quick, wholesome, DELICIOUS meal then look no further. This is my current favourite dinner, for so many reasons (as seen on Instagram). The main reason is that it can be on the table in less than 10 minutes. Thats my favourite kind of dinner! I also love it because […]
Clean Eating Mexican Bean Smash
It’s a bit of a dreary June day which has left me feeling like going back to bed to hibernate until the sun comes out again and warms me up. There is no way the heating can go on, so a hoody and some comfort food is just what I need to prevent the week long hibernation. […]
Clean Eating Turkey Lentil Savoury Mince
We are well into comfort food season here at The Kitchen Shed so I am trying to recreate those classing warming dishes in a healthier way. We didnt eat a lot of shepherds pie/cottage pie when I was growing up, but my mum did often make savoury mince and mashed potato, a sort of deconstructed […]
Clean Eating Watermelon Salad
Day 6 of our 7 Day Salad Challenge and I am holding on to summer for as long as I can with this Watermelon Salad. Oh how I love watermelon! It is one of the best things about the summer time, walking around with chunks of watermelon in the garden, spitting out the seeds into […]
Clean Eating Salmon Spring Onion Omelette
Who else is loving Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook, Everyday Super Food? It is a brilliant book filled almost completely with clean recipes. Do you ever get stuck for ideas when it comes to healthy eating? You can keep up to date with all of my new clean and delicious recipes by subscribing to my newsletter. It […]
Clean Eating Slow Cooker Lamb Shanks
My Husband declared that this was the best meal I have ever made in the (almost) 7 years that we have been married. I was pretty excited to hear that, especially since this meal is technically clean. I say technically because although it contains only natural ingredients, a clean eater probably wouldn’t make lamb shanks […]
Clean Eating Turkey Meatballs
Homemade meatballs are just something else. My mum used to make amazing meatballs when I was younger, with a fresh tomato sauce. It was awesome. Turkey mince is not something I had ever tried until I came across the Eat Clean Diet. I was surprised to find out how cheap it was compared to other […]
Clean Eating Avocado Toast
I love Avocados and I love Avocado Toast! Every healthy eating recipe blog has their own take on this nutritious combination, but really it’s not a recipe at all, it’s just an idea that you may not have thought of before. Avocados are a great source of healthy fat. You don’t need to eat them […]
Clean Eating Swede and Carrot Mash
Does anyone else eat swede and carrot mash with their roast dinners?! I did growing up, and it was my all time favourite side dish. (I’ve even eaten it cold in a sandwich before… I know, that’s a bit weird). Maybe the reason I loved it so much was the salty, butteryness of it. Yeah, […]
Clean Eating Kale and Stuffing Frittata Cups
Only half of our household like stuffing, so after a Sunday roast we always have leftovers. Great for chicken and stuffing sandwiches, but there are times when there is no leftover chicken. That’s a bummer. Whilst doing my daily pinning on Pinterest I found a great blog called ‘Running to the Kitchen’. It is filled […]
Clean Eating 3 Bean Chilli
Beans, beans, good for the heart… You know its true! I don’t know about you, but growing up chilli con carne was a weekly staple in our house (along with spaghetti bolognese). My Dad teases my mum about it all the time “I go out and earn all this money and we’re still eating chilli […]
