by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Chicken & Turkey, Fakeaway

This Chicken Pad Thai is made with red cabbage, onion, carrots, courgette and pepper, so it provides lots of different vitamins and minerals. It’s made with whole grain noodles to boost the fibre content, which keeps you feeling fuller and is good for your digestive system. It contains chicken, a great source of protein which you need to build muscle, connective tissues and enzymes. Win Win Win!

Za’atar Chick Pea Salad

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Packed lunch, Salads, Vegan, Vegetarian

This recipe is one that I watched Samin Nosrat make. It taught me about mixing salty, fatty and sharp flavours together to really bring out the flavours of the ingredients. This Za’atar Chick Pea Salad takes less than 5 minutes to prepare and tastes sharp, smooth, salty and delicious.

These Courgette and Spinach Fritters are packed with vegetables and are very filling and tasty. I serve them with poached eggs and a lemon & garlic yoghurt on top. I originally made this quantity for 5 but 3 of us managed to polish all of these off!

Courgette, Apple and Raisin Muffins

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Packed lunch, Snacks

I’ll be honest…these muffins are marmite! I LOVE them. So do half my family…the other half..not so much! They’re not sweet – the sweetness comes from the apple, raisins and a little maple syrup but I don’t like things that are really sweet so they’re perfect for me. I’ve had many people taste test them…. the response is either ‘perfect..don’t make them sweeter’ or ‘not for me’ I’d love to know what you think if you make them.

Fake Duck (Turkey) Pancakes

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Chicken & Turkey, Fakeaway

These Fake Duck (Turkey) pancakes are not my recipe….. they were given to me by my friend Danni Y a few years ago and are very very popular with EVERYONE (I make it with mushrooms, tofu or seitan for non-meat eaters) They are super easy to prep and are much healthier and cheaper than duck. I’d suggest making double and either freezing or eating 2 days in a row!

Spinach, Coconut and Chilli Soup

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Soup

This smooth and warming Spinach, Coconut and Chilli Soup is a delicious, vibrant, warming soup. The coconut makes it really smooth and creamy and the chilli adds heat. The spinach is a great source of Vitamin K that is needed for blood clotting and maintaining bone health.

Once, I forgot that it was spinach not broccoli and made a new soup – that is a great way to use up broccoli that is slightly past its best. Check out my other post for that recipe!

Broccoli, Coconut and Chilli Soup

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Soup

This smooth and warming Broccoli, Coconut and Chilli Soup was made by accident, as I forgot the actual ingredients for a different soup! But it’s yummy and is a great way to use up broccoli that is a bit past its best. The coconut makes it really smooth and creamy and the chilli adds heat.
For the other version…check out my Spinach, Coconut and Chilli soup!
