Rice Pudding

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Dessert

I don’t often make dessert but if I do, this is one of my son’s favourites. I make it with maple syrup instead of sugar and I use half the quantity used in usual rice pudding.

Dairy products (milk) are a good source of Vitamin A, B6, B12, D, Calcium, Iodine, Phosphorus, Serotonin, Zinc and more.
Both the Vitamin A and Calcium help with the growth of bone – so is particularly good for children, teenagers, menopausal women, the elderly….. So enjoy your rice pudding!

Rosemary Sun-Blushed Tomatoes

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fakeaway, Salads, Vegetables

These Rosemary Sun-Blushed tomatoes are super simple to prep, have a deep sweet flavour and are much healthier than the shop bought (smothered in oil) versions. They taste amazing on salad or with pasta. They are based on a recipe given to me by the lovely Jack Williams which I edited slightly.

Roasted Vegetable Salad with feta and herbs

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

This salad was inspired by an Abel and Cole salad that I saw years ago. I’ve adapted it a bit and added lentils so that it can be eaten as a plant based meal…not just a salad…..although it makes a totally delicious salad. If you want a vegan version….just leave out the feta…it is still totally delicious.

Cauliflower Cheese

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Vegetarian

Cauliflower Cheese is one of my daughter’s favourite meals but it’s often not the healthiest. So I created this healthier version – which contains 5 vegetables and wholemeal pasta. It’s high in fibre from the pasta and vegetables, phytonutrients from the 5 different vegetables as well as calcium from the milk and cheese. It’s always gobbled up.
I usually use a whole cauliflower and make double the quantity (as in this video) and freeze individual portions for meals later on.

Baked Thai Seabass

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fish

Anyone can make this light and quick fish dish. It’s super easy and really doesn’t take long. My daughter doesn’t like chilli or coriander much, so I just leave them off her piece of fish.

The Thai flavoured sauce keeps the fish moist and just makes itself as the fish is cooking.

It’s baked not fried, so you can put it in the oven whilst you clean up, the kitchen doesn’t smell of fried fish and its healthier. Win win win!

Seabass is low in fat and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which may help prevent heart disease

This is such a delicious recipe – tart from the pomegranates, sweet from the onion gravy and pomegranate molasses, moist chicken and crunchy nuts on top and it looks great too!

Thank you Emma Spitzer for being the inspiration for this recipe in the first place.

How to de-seed a pomegranate

by Judianne on in Kitchen Tips
I was asked how to de-seed a pomegranate without my kitchen looking like a murder scene! All you need is a sharp knife, a rolling pin and a big bowl and a pomegranate of course! Please excuse the frown…the sun was in my eyes.

Vegetable Pakoras

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fakeaway, Vegan, Vegetarian

Vegetable Pakoras – these (unusually for me) are not quick and are less healthy than my usual recipes but many of you requested the recipe so here it is.

They can be made with lots of different vegetables eg cauliflower, broccoli, onion, pepper, courgettes etc… so they’re a good way to eat a variety of vegetables and they taste totally delicious.

 

ps Gram flour is flour made from chick peas so there’s a bit of extra protein in there too (I said a bit)

Roasted Sweet Potato & Spicy Chick Pea Buddha Bowl

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Packed lunch, Pesach Recipes, Quick Lunches, Salads, Vegan, Vegetarian

This Roasted Sweet Potato, Spicy Chick Peas & Quinoa Buddha Bowl is one of my favourite lunches.  It may not be one for the kids, (though my son is very happy to have it for his packed lunch)  but I think that lots of you will love it too.
There’s protein in the quinoa and the chick peas and so many phytonutrients in the different vegetables. It’s colourful, sweet, creamy, crunchy, spicy and totally delicious.
