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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Breakfast Beans
Saturday mornings were made for enjoying special breakfasts. Weekday mornings are often busy and rushed in our house so I really enjoy a lazy Saturday morning feast. These breakfast beans are the latest craze in our house. They are delicious and filling and make a wonderful grain free meal. I like to eat mine with scrambled […]

This really is fuss free, budget friendly, clean eating cooking at it’s finest. I got pretty addicted (in a good way) to roasted vegetables […]
Clean Eating Tuna Sandwiches
Who doesn’t love a tuna sandwich? I love tuna and tuna mayo has always been one of my favourite sandwiches. I only notice that I miss mayonnaise when I fancy a tuna sandwich and so I had to figure out a way that I could still enjoy tuna without it being terribly dry. (Have you […]

Clean Eating Italian Spelt Pasta Salad
I ate lots of Italian pasta salad growing up. We had quite a few American friends that used to make it and it always tasted the same, no matter which one of them put it together. It was my all time favourite dish at any pot luck, summer BBQ or special occasion. I didn’t ever have the […]

Clean Eating Springtime Vegetable and Lentil Soup
I love homemade soup, and these vegetables make up my favourite kind! Soup is so quick and easy to make and can feed a lot of people for very little money. My Husband is just not a fan of soup and so I try to make up batches for when I know he will be […]
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 Mexican Pizza
Pizza is a wonderful creation! It can contain all of the elements that make up a complete meal; complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, vegetables and a little fat. Did you ever think that eating pizza would be ‘allowed’ whilst you were gaining better health and losing weight?! (Now you know why I’m such a huge fan […]
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 Home Made Coleslaw
This is another old family recipe that I have ‘cleaned’ up. One of my Aunties used to make homemade coleslaw and bring it to every family gathering on my dads side. Everyone loved it and it tasted SO much better than any shop bought coleslaw. To this day it is still making an annual appearance […]
Clean Eating Goats Cheese Pitta Pizza
Updated 7/1/15: It has become increasingly difficult to find clean pitta breads in the supermarkets which is such a shame because if it wasn’t for one little added preservative then these would be SO handy for clean eaters. These days I purchase my pitta bread from a local wholesaler or PlanetOrganic.com. I’ve just finished a 21 […]
Clean Eating Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Noodle Soup, not just a soup for sick people! I love love love this recipe. I use leftover Clean Eating Slow Cooker Whole Chicken and pre cooked carrots to make it fast and easy to whip up in a hurry. I can remember being really poorly with multiple infections when I was studying at […]

Clean Eating Quinoa Funfetti Salad
Who wouldn’t want to eat something that’s got the word ‘funfetti’ in it? I was laying in bed one night, thinking about food (it happens a lot) and I thought it would be cool to make a colourful Quinoa salad. You know in the summertime when you get invited to a BBQ and you are […]
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 […]
