Chicken, Sweetcorn and Noodle Soup (the quicker version)

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Chicken & Turkey, Packed lunch, Soup

I’m totally stuffed. One huge bowl of this Chicken, Sweetcorn and Noodle Soup and I was far more full than I thought I’d be. The kids love this soup. I have a long version (with a deeper flavour) and this quick version. Both delicious and full of protein, which we need for strong hair, good immunity, keeping us full as well as muscle growth and repair.

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 I originally made this quantity for 5 but 3 of us managed to polish all of these off!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.
