Recipes


Eating well makes a world of difference to the way you feel both inside and out, when you make different food choices. Start by thinking whole, unprocessed foods including good quality protein sources and slow realeasing carbohydrates such as oats, quinoa and brown basmati rice. By avoiding the fast releasing carb rich processed foods so readily available in food shops and supermakets today, such as pies, cakes and readymade meals, you have already begun to take better care of your body and your energy levels, by balancing your blood sugar levels.

Here you will find my edit of  recipes that I make regularly for myself and my family, that are tasty, satiating and easy to put together.  Whether you love a curry, don’t want to miss a homemade burger, or love a good traybake, you will find some suggestions here to help you on your way to an improved way of eating that you body and mind will thank you for!
