When it comes to ready meals, the words ‘high sugar’, ‘high salt’, ‘processed’, ‘refined’ and ‘junk’ can spring to mind; but that’s something Goodlife are aiming to change with the launch of their new healthy, fresh and delicious options on the market. Say hello to their two vegetarian-friendly meals – Vegetable Masala and 3 Bean […]

Spiralising, Shredding & Slicing with the Veggie Bullet
As a busy freelance recipe developer and blogger working with health food brands, I’m always in the kitchen and a lot of my time is taken up with prepping ingredients, which can sometimes feel like a chore. With a baby on the way in July, I’m more conscious of time-efficient things which will help to […]
One-Pan Crunchy Spicy Baked Eggs
In case you’ve missed it, I’ve recently developed some recipes for Rolla Granola: these dairy/gluten/refined sugar-free delicious Raspberry, Chocolate & Chilli Brownies and this not-so-naughty Nutty Salted Caramel Cheesecake. YUM. So that’s the sweet recipes covered, but what about using their savoury, paleo-friendly Sweet Potato ‘Neanderthal Nibbles’ variety? Let me introduce you to this super […]
Eat Lean Cheese Verdict + Healthy Gluten-free Pizza recipe!
Spotting Eat Lean Cheese on Instagram, I had to look again. High in protein (we all know this about cheese, but this contains 40% more than regular full-fat Cheddar), no carbs or sugar, lactose and gluten-free, and only 3% fat. This Protein Cheese is ‘made using natural ingredients by real cheesemakers on a real dairy […]
Borderfields Rapeseed Oil #IsBetter Recipe Challenge
Another month, another blogger recipe challenge: This time I’ve been tasked with creating a recipe using Borderfields Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oils and Infusions. From roasting and frying to baking and cooking, there are so many ways these delightful products from the range can be used, so I was excited to jump into this project and […]
Rangemaster Supperclub: Beef & Red Wine Stew
As part of the AGA Rangemaster Supper Club project, I was kindly sent a wonderful selection of ingredients from Riverford Farms Mystery Box. Not knowing what I would receive initially, the plan was to create something to create a winter recipe with a story behind it. I’d never had a Riverford Farms delivery before but […]
Going Crazy For rawCo Coconut Products
Back in November I had the pleasure of meeting rawCo, a company providing – you guessed it – coconut products in the form of a flour, oil and amino sauce. As you may know, I’m an avid user of coconut related ingredients, so their offerings were right up my street. Coconut flour and oil are […]
Round-up of my Homeserve #KetchupCreations Challenge
I’m not one to pass up on a food opportunity, so when I was contacted by Joe Blogs Network on behalf of Homeserve about the launch of their new lifestyle blog, Ketchup, I was intrigued. The company wanted to enlist the help of bloggers to spread the word by choosing from six different ketchup recipes […]
Colourful Chilli, Ginger & Tamari Beef Bowl
Enjoying beef in your diet doesn’t have to mean being high in fat calories. This is where MuscleFood’s extra lean beef mince comes in handy, offering 124 calories and 4.2g of fat while providing 21.7g of protein per 100g, not a bad deal at all. Juicy, free range and 100% British, you can’t go wrong […]
Roasted Squash & Chickpea, Feta and Pomegranate Salad
I love warm salads in the colder months, and this particular recipe combines the wonderful warming flavours of cinnamon and paprika, used to coat roasted squash and chickpeas. Honestly, your kitchen will smell INSANE when they’re cooking. Coupled with kale, leeks, feta and pomegranate seeds, plus a dressing with my secret weapon ingredient: Urban Chutney (seriously, […]
Warming Squash, Paprika & Chicken Sausage Risotto
As we head into autumn, for me, risotto signals comfort food. High in carbohydrates, yes, but this version uses less rice and boosts up the protein content thanks to adding in succulent chunks of MuscleFood chicken sausages. Ok so, chicken…sausages? Honestly, don’t knock them until you’ve tried them. Made from 100% chicken breast meat and […]
Sweet Potato Nacho ‘Burrito’ Bowl
Mexican food happens to be one of my favourite cuisines thanks to the husband’s influence. Anything that combines a smoky chipotle sauce with a bit of a kick works wonders for me, so I thought I’d put my pack of MuscleFood extra lean chicken mince to good use and immerse it in these flavours. I was […]
Chicken, Squash & Mushroom Risotto
I’m honoured to be one of selected UK food bloggers UK who were invited to contribute to a special Rangemaster bloggers cookbook. A collection of 24 mouthwateringly healthy main course dishes and desserts, it was great fun coming up wish two recipes which were both appealing and nutritious. For my main…A risotto recipe can be […]
