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 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 Strawberry Salsa
Is there anything prettier than a bowl of strawberry salsa? This isn’t just a pretty bowl, it is also so delicious and really easy to make too. We love strawberry picking during the summer months but we always seems to end up with a haul of leftover strawberries that need using up. This is 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 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 Chickpea, Sweet Potato & Spinach Curry
I love how Meat Free Mondays have changed the way I think about food. It really takes quite a bit of thought to come up with something new and exciting that all the family will enjoy without using meat. One thing I love about not relying on meat is how easy and cheap it can […]
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 Chicken Citrus Quinoa
Once a week I like to cook a whole chicken in my slow cooker and use it throughout the next few days in dinners and lunches. Usually on the day that the chicken gets cooked I add it to some yummy quinoa. This week I was admiring the bright and colourful citrus fruits on my dinner […]
Clean Eating Coriander Lime Pesto
We have been a little bit in love with pesto here in The Kitchen Shed, but I hear no one complaining. We all love pesto and I love how quick it is to make. I have come to love coriander more and more in the last few years. It used to be something I tried to […]
Clean Eating Home Made Guacamole
We all love Mexican thanks to good old ‘Old El Paso’ but unfortunately these convenient mixes and jars are no good for a Clean Eater – as tasty as they may be. Luckily for us, the Mexican flavour is really easy to replicate using fresh and dried spices. Mexican side dishes and dips are even […]
Clean Eating Carrot and Coriander Soup
Soup is my secret weapon to get veggies into my kiddlets. My Boys love dunking bread into soup and with today being ‘Meat Free Monday’ its a perfect excuse to be eating some warm nutritious goodness for dinner tonight. Making your own soup is so cheap, so if you are on a tight budget make […]
