African Peanut Stew

Make a big batch and enjoy it over and over.

Recipe link here.

I don't know what chard is...I used kale. I also add extra chillis, cos yummmm spicy. I would add peanuts I think, extra crunch!

Teriyaki Salmon and Veg

This was so easy to make and really tasty!

You need:

Salmon fillet
Healthy oil of your choice
one pepper
chilli
garlic
kale
chilli flakes (if you want)
teriyaki marinade (I use blue dragon)

Brush marinade on your salmon and shove it under the grill. Every few minutes, take it out and re-glaze with the teriyaki, once you've done 3/4 the salmon should be about cooked. Sprinkle chilli flakes on it afterwards if you fancy!

Fry all veg in your oil and when it's about cooked, add a dash (about a tablespoon) of the marinade and continue to fry for another minute or two.

Done.

Kale and Mushroom Quinoa

You need:

60g (dry weight) quinoa
100g kale
150g mushrooms
tablespoon of your healthy oil (I use about 3g of coconut oil)
half a (vegetable) stock cube
30/40g feta


Quinoa is easy enough to make. Plonk it in a saucepan and add boiling water about a half inch above the quinoa, and add your stock (you can just have water but I find the stock adds a good flavour), bring to boil, then simmer, covered.

Heat up your oil in a frying pan and cook the kale and sliced mushrooms. Once quinoa is cooked (the water is gone and the grains have turned into little sprials), add the fried vegetables, top with feta. Boom.

While this gives you a really good portion - you'd be good to maybe half the weights above and have some protein with this on the side. For my packed lunches I'd probably also eat a boiled egg.

Muesli

Because the ones we buy store packed are more full of sugar than we realise...

I had it this morning with a banana and it was tasty goodness!

Spinach Side Dish

For when I need to be able to whip up something quick but want to keep it as healthy as possible, I wanted a healthy side dish - this spinach recipe was amazing. I didn't have sesame seeds but I used toasted sesame oil and it was TASTY! I used a whole bag of about 230g but it made only about two portions worth. RECIPE HERE.

Spicy Gnocchi

It's not too spicy, it is an original recipe, whaaaaat! Well, I say 'original'.... I knew we had gnocchi and chorizo so I googled 'gnocchi chorizo' and found this recipe.

But we substituted the basil for one red chilli and threw in some chorizo. Also, we used two peppers, cos you can never have too much veg!

I have to say as well, super easy recipe (I mean, Ben made this...enough said).

Avocado Toast

They changed our offices and now I can't have toast for breakfast. Tragic isn't it. Breakfast was becoming really depressing for me. Cereal was bland, fruit and yoghurt just doesn't do it for me. Then my birthday rolled around and the lovely girls at work got me Gwenyth's 'It's All Good'. I saw a recipe for Avocado Toast...and tweaked it for work purposes. It's just plain AMAZING.

You need:
Ryvita crispbreads (I use Dark Rye)
Philadelphia (I use Light garlic and herb)
Half an avocado (and eat the other half the next day)



I really don't need to tell you how to do this but - cracker, spread, mush your avocado for even spreadage and add a sprinkle of pepper. Boom. You're welcome.
