This is a giant pan of comfort food goodness! So hearty and delicious, perfect for a cosy evening in. I’ve been enjoying creating some healthier recipes with Eversfield Organic Gluten Free Sausages which I bought from Ocado. They are the cleanest sausages I can find at the moment and I really like them. They have […]
Clean Eating Mexican Turkey Burgers
One of the trickiest things about being a food blogger in the darker winter months is lighting. There is nothing worse than trying to photograph a recipe once the sun has started to go down, so all of my recipes really need to be made and shot during the day time. This is particularly annoying […]
Clean Eating Guacamole
**Recipe Update! First posted in Feb 2014, I decided to give those sad Guacamole photos a quick makeover this week whilst I made some for a new recipe! This recipe was published 5 years ago, and I have to say, I think these updates have allowed it to get better with age ;)** We all […]
Clean Eating Slow Cooker Bolognese Recipe
This recipe has been a long time coming! Back when I lived at The Kitchen Shed I made quite a few attempts to come up with a decent slow cooker bolognese recipe and every one was a complete fail. Since our lives just seem to be getting busier and busier with various after school clubs […]
Clean Eating Turkey Fajita Meatballs
Fajita meatballs…. an idea almost as strange as chilli con carne pasta bake. Two recipes that probably shouldn’t work but really do! These meatballs are fun and easy to make.

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 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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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 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 […]
