Salmon Ramen

by Judianne on in Fakeaway, Fish, Soup

A big bowl of soup can be really comforting and warming but doesn’t always fill you up for long. This bowl of Ramen contains protein from the fish which leaves you feeling fuller for longer.

You can make it with Ramen noodles or courgetti if you prefer.

You can swap the salmon for chicken breasts/thighs or tofu to make it to suit your needs.

Eating a wide range of vegetables increases the nutritional value of your meal. This dish contains at least 3 different vegetables and you can add more if you like.

Kale, Walnut and Apple Salad
Kale, Cranberry and Apple Salad
Kale, Quinoa and Apple Salad

I struggled to choose the best name….either way… these are all the delicious, nutritious ingredients. This salad, whatever you choose to call it is really easy to make and a delicious way to eat your Kale.
100g raw kale provides 206% of your RNI of Vitamin A, 134 % Vitamin C and a whopping 684% of your Vitamin K and that’s before you get into the health benefits of your walnuts, olive oil and quinoa. Enjoy!

Talli’s Gazpacho

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Pesach Recipes, Soup

My husband and I used to hate Gazpacho until a holiday in Andalucía 18 years ago, where we had it fresh and totally changed our minds. We then had it every day for breakfast for the rest of the holiday.
I recently went to my friend Talli’s for dinner and she served this delicious Gazpacho.

Luckily she was happy to share the recipe. Try it…..it’s totally delicious – I promise.

Cauliflower & Spinach Dhal

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Fakeaway, Pesach Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian
This Dhal Dal, Daal  (How do you spell it?) is really quick to make, creamy, tasty and really nutritious. It freezes well too.
 
The Lentils are a good source of protein, fibre and iron.
Eating the lentils with iron-rich spinach will boost the iron absorption.

Beef and Pea Samosas

by Judianne on in Cheaper Healthy Food, Red Meat

I made 32 of these to feed 6 of us and they ALL got eaten 😝 They are Baked not Fried so are a healthier way of enjoying Samosas. They’re probably my most fiddly recipe and definitely take longer than 15 minutes but the empty plates showed me that it’s worth it.

They’re packed with vegetables…. onions, peas, carrots and spinach as well as beef so they’re full of nutrients too.

Beef is a great source of protein which we need to build and repair muscle. Its not just about having big muscles…. its about being able to balance, walk, run, pick things up, avoid injury etc. Beef is also a great source of an amino acid called Leucine, which we need to trigger muscle growth. So enjoy these Beef Samosas knowing there are lots of health benefits.

Black Bean Fajitas

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

These Black Bean Fajitas taste delicious. They are bright and colourful, quick to prepare and full of flavour. A perfect meal for Meatfree Monday. Eating lots of different coloured vegetables ensures that you get a wide range of phytonutrients and this dish certainly achieves that.

The black beans are a legume that are a very good source of protein, fibre and folic acid.

Chicken Balls

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

These Chicken Balls were probably the recipe that started me on my Quick Healthy Family Meals journey. I made the original video a few years ago and decided that it was time for an updated version.

The Chicken Balls are made with spinach and onion and are very moreish! They are very easy to make and freeze well too…my kind of dish.

Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, which is important for maintaining good bone health and healthy blood clotting.
