Over the last couple of years, my take on clean eating has become a lot more relaxed. I believe in eating the way YOU want to eat, whatever makes you feel at your best and for me and my family that means making the best possible choices in our circumstances without it being completely inconvenient […]
Clean Eating Organic Beef & Lentil Bolognese
As we start to make our way into a new season I can’t help but feel excited for some cooler, cosier months. Im not talking Christmas or anything, I’ve never been a fan of the winter but I have a great appreciation for the beauty of Autumn and look forward to it almost as much as […]
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 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 Mexican Bean Stuffed Marrow
As seen on Instagram, I’ve been trying to widen my Meat Free Monday dinner options as I have made more of a conscious effort to ensure we keep that one day a week meatless. It’s never easy to please meat loving boys with a vegetarian dinner but I have been pleasantly surprised at their willingness to […]
Clean Eating Organic Beef & Mushroom Bolognese
You all know I have a slight obsession with bolognese. I play it off like its just something I make for the kids, but that is actually a big fat lie. I love nothing better than sitting down to a bowl of wholegrain spaghetti and homemade bolognese, and if I happen to put some cheese […]
Clean Eating 5 Minute Bean Chilli
I have had fun this week testing out some kitchen appliances from SEVERIN, courtesy of Homespares. I’ve joined them in their Great Big Oven Ban Challenge in hopes that people would be “encourged to think outside of the box when it comes to cooking methods, and to dig out those appliances they may have used once and then […]
Clean Eating Yellow Pepper Pasta Sauce
When my eldest was little, I used to take a weekly trip to a green grocers in town where I would pick myself a new fruit or vegetable to try each week. I’d usually pick something a little more exotic like fresh lychee’s, dragon fruit and vegetables like shallots, kale and yellow or orange peppers, […]
Clean Eating Pork & Pepper Bolognese
You can never have too many ways to make bolognese, especially when it’s your children’s favourite meal. This recipe is a great spin on a classic family meal adding extra flavour and warmth from red and yellow peppers. Do you ever get stuck for ideas when it comes to healthy eating? You can keep up […]
Clean Eating Organic Beef Chilli
I do love a good bowl of chilli, especially now that the days are colder and the evenings are getting darker. It’s nice to cosy up with a warm bowl of nutritious, delicious food before settling down for the night. Do you ever get stuck for ideas when it comes to healthy eating? You can […]
Clean Eating Kale, Lentil and Pork Ragu
I don’t often buy red meat, but when I do I like to make sure we eat it in small amounts. Adding lentils and extra vegetables is a great way to bulk out a meal and give it added nutrients. It also makes the meal go a lot further and saves you money too. This […]
Clean Eating Turkey Bolognese
Spaghetti Bolognese, a ‘Great British Classic’ right? I’d bet money on it being most kids favourite dinner. It was mine when I was younger and its my boys favourite dinner too. I’ve always made my bolognese from scratch, it works out a lot cheaper and it tastes so much better. This Clean Eating Turkey Bolognese […]
Clean Eating Apricot Beans
These beans are AMAZING! Definitely a new family favourite. We ate something very similar years ago at a friends dinner party. I think they called them ‘Mango Beans’ a tomato sauce with beans and mango chutney added to it. Genius idea! I figured I could clean it up by replacing the mango chutney with clean apricot […]
Clean Eating Pesto Turkey Bolognese
Please forgive my use of pesto just once more! I know I have been slightly pesto mad here at The Kitchen Shed, but I just love the stuff and cannot help myself making big batches of it which need using up one way or another and this just happened to be a really delicious way that I […]
Clean Eating Sausage Jambalaya
Since eating clean I have pretty much cut sausages out of my diet. Occasionally I would buy some higher meat content sausages, but generally we just didn’t eat them. But finally I have found some real, clean sausage thanks to the clever people at Laverstoke Park Farm. I found these little beauties on Ocado (Waitrose […]
Clean Eating Vegetable Lasagne
Meat Free Monday is always an exciting day in my house. I get a kick out of watching my family eat a veggie packed meal. (It’s the little things in life that excite a stay at home mum!). I could probably quite happily be a vegetarian but my Husband needs his meat, so it’s always […]
Clean Eating Spanish Chicken
This Clean Eating Spanish Chicken is a great way to use up any leftovers from your Clean Eating Slow Cooker Whole Chicken. It can be put together quickly with a few cupboard staples and is far more cost effective than purchasing a very similarly tasting Chicken Tonight sauce! I think the olives taste amazing in […]
Clean Eating Quick Pasta Sauce
It is so easy to make your own pasta sauce and it will taste a lot better than the jars you can buy in the shops. Although the only goodness from this sauce is found in the tomatoes, it is still considered clean and contains no added rubbish. Perfect for when you are in a […]
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 […]
