This recipe is simple, tasty and quick. Let the tomatoes roast & pasta cook while you grab the other ingredients and then all you need to do is blend and serve up. Delicious, homemade, full of goodness pasta sauce with pizza flavours thanks to the cheese, basil & tomato combo.

You also get lovely lycopene (powerful antioxidant) nutrition from the cooked tomatoes here (better absorbed from cooked instead of raw toms) and at least 1/5 day, if not more, depending on what kind of pasta/spaghetti noodles you use. I’ve used carrot and courgette noodles in the past and also regular spelt pasta, they all taste great!

I love this recipe, it’s so simple with a naturally nourishing twist on the traditional fish & chips ingredients and leaves you feeling good afterwards because you know you’ve just nourished your body 💗
Healthy herbed salmon and squash chips
The fish I chose to use is wild salmon, such a great food with amazing benefits for the heart, a great source of vitamin D and so tasty when paired with the herbs and lemon. For the chips, I used squash and cut it into typical chip shapes but you can of course also use sweet potato if you like or stick with butternut squash for a less stodgy version but still getting some great beta carotene (a form of vit A) in there.

☘ Why simply add spinach to your omelette when you can blend it and make it a St Patrick’s day green! A great way to start your St Patrick’s day (or a healthy breakfast for the morning after when the effects of the festivities begin to take their toll!) Plus it’ll be funny to see the looks on peoples faces when you tuck into a green omelette & they’re wondering how the heck you made it green, go on, you know you want to! ☘

Such a simple, no fuss, delicious, nourishing meal. Full of fibre, vitamin A and good fats!
This has been one of my go to meals for a while now. I’ve used a nice contrasting combo of sweet honey (or maple if vegan) and smokey paprika to give flavour to the butternut squash but it gets even better when you taste it with the creamy cashew butter 😍
I personally wanted a different kind of flavour with this dish which is why I chose the paprika but feel free to go with cinnamon if you prefer, I’ve tried it both ways and they’re just heaven!

Ok, I know what you’re thinking, “cottage cheese in pancakes?!”.
Yes!
This works so well, it gives a guilt free creaminess & lots of moisture to the pancakes, plus when they cook they remain soft and moist on the inside, trust me, when you bite into creamy, cheesy goodness you’ll not regret making these.
Seriously, this is one you have to try in order to see how good it is, so please try them.

This is perfect for a post workout meal due to the protein and good fats, plus the cottage cheese is naturally lower in fat than other cheeses & also a good option for those on pancake Tuesday who don’t have a sweet tooth.

This one has been one of my go to meals on numerous occasions when I need a quick meal after a workout/busy day & which is also nourishing. I usually have half an avocado floating around the fridge anyway ready to be used up and I always have a packet of microwaveable lentils or quinoa in the cupboard for speedy meals like this.
If you don’t have any leftover turkey/chicken (or are vegetarian) then you could always poach or scramble up an egg pretty quickly, or just leave it out, there’s still a good dose of protein from the lentils.
Also a great lunch idea for the next day that won’t take up too much time from your evening, if your mixing the avocado in with the other ingredients for the next day then use the lemon dressing for the avo as it will stop it from browning.
