The Trick to a Great Kale Salad

A portion of kale is hard to beat when talking about the number of nutrients and minerals it contains. It is great to include if you want a healthy and balanced diet. There are so many benefits of eating the green stuff including a high source of vitamins A, C and K, as well as improve blood glucose control in diabetics, lowering the risk of cancer and blood pressure and improving bone healthy!

So that leads me on to introducing a trick to creating a great Kale Salad.

Sweet Potato, Lentil and Coconut Curry

If you are looking for the perfect winter warming dish then look no further! Such a healthy dish with no added nasties like your shop brought curry. Filling and nourishing ingredients like the sweet potato and lentils, that are also great for your overall health- what's not to love!

I served it on a bed of steaming brown rice, but alternatively you can use quinoa or just on its own if you want!

Three Cheese and Tomato Gluten Free Muffins

This recipe is so lovely! These cheese and tomato muffins are for anytime on the go. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack that is gluten and refined sugar free. Don't be scared off by the amount of ingredients it is worth it!!

Healthy Fish and Chips!

Who doesn't love a good fish and chips right?! I live by the sea and there are so many fish and chip shops around being an English country town so I did some research and found a healthy version of battered fish. 

Of course I had to give it a try and it was honestly better than the fatty battered fish they serve in those shops as I find the amount of grease that you find at the bottom of the paper is not great to say the least! Plus you could actually taste and appreciate the fish with this recipe!

Then I had a thought that it wouldn't be right to serve these delicious healthy fish fillets with unhealthy chips- Enter sweet potato fries! The perfect nutritional alternative to normal potato chips. 

Serves 4

Sweet Beet Raw Juice

This recipe below I fell into by chance with the leftovers from my Green raw juice. This was my added extra experiment juice- but boy does it rank up there with my green juice!

I'm okay to admit that I am not the biggest beetroot fan. I mean I can eat it if it is in small quantities but in this juice I could hardly taste it and it gave the juice an amazing vivid colour that looks so appetising!

Spinach and Nutmeg Gratin

If you are hosting a meal for a group this is an excellent choice as you can prep this meal before and once it is cooked it is ready to serve! Crowd pleaser indeed- I have been asked for repeat of this ever since I brought it out the first dinner party.

The nutmeg spice in the gratin really compliments the egg and cheese in the recipe. Gluten free and sugar free recipe of course. Try and see for yourself. I serve it with a full salad and you will hear rave reviews- trust me!

Serves 4-6 depending on appetites.

First time Sushi Making

It was only a matter of time before I had to try and make my own sushi because I love the stuff! Where I live now there is no where to get any 'real' fresh sushi that doesn't come pre-packaged. 

This is was the last resort so I tried it and it was such a success!! In fact I was loving it so much that I didn't even realise one of family was asking me a question while I was eating it (official food heaven! Ha.)

I decided to stick with my favourite basic ingredients in hand rolls- avocado and salmon! The rice that I used was also brown rice. I know this is not traditional to use brown rather white but brown is a lot better for you than the sticky white rice.
