Creamy Asparagus Soup #cleanandlean

August 13, 2017 By jbmumofone Leave a Comment

Creamy Asparagus Soup #cleanandlean

  This has become one of my staple clean eating lunches. The original recipe can be found here. Several ingredients have been changed to make it more of a clean and lean recipe and it still tastes almost decadent! I am currently at the end of week one of Beachbody's 21 Day Fix and fell off the diet wagon spectacularly towards the end of the week. (Envisage potato gratin meets chocolate meets wine carnage. Ouch.) Today (Sunday) I had to go to work for the morning but have spent the afternoon making the most of the smalls being away on a Grandparent visit and meal prepping for the ...

21 Day Fix No-Fry Fishcakes

21 Day Fix No-Fry Fishcakes

So I am currently on a bit of a health and fitness mission. I have decided that 2017 is the year to finally whip myself into some kind of half decent shape. In order to help me achieve this I have set myself a number of challenges. In March I will be taking part in Rocksolid Exeter...1 5k race full of impossible looking mud-filled obstacles that I am utterly terrified about. I am already regretting this decision but is all for a very good cause and I will be running in aid of ELF, the Exeter Leukeamia fund. I will be posting more about this soon. In July I will also be taking part ...

Guilt Free Flapjack: The easiest recipe you will ever find!

Guilt Free Flapjack: The easiest recipe you will ever find!

As regular readers will now my belly-busting days are now back in full swing. Regular circuit training is now back on the agenda and I am trying to eat clean at least 5 days a week. What I have struggled with most is the concept of eating more, but smaller, meals throughout the day. This still doesn't totally gel with our routine but we are getting better at it. Increased exercise though automatically leads to increased appetite so I have been trying to come up with some clean-ish snacks. This is my favourite night-time treat with a cup of herbal tea. It is a bit of a hybrid recipe taken ...

Prize Draw: Win Davina’s New 7 Minute Fit and Get Fit with Davina…and Me!

Prize Draw: Win Davina’s New 7 Minute Fit and Get Fit with Davina…and Me!

As it is January I bet many of you, like me, are once again promising that THIS will be the year to get fit.  Considering joining a gym?  Wondering how many times a week you will plan to go versus how many times a week you will ACTUALLY go?  Yep.  Been there before too. I know from experience that joining a gym is utterly impractical for both me and my family.  There simply just aren't enough hours in the day.  To be perfectly honest even before we had kids I would rarely ever go often enough to justify the monthly membership fees. Finding time to exercise is hard.  We all know this, and ...

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken Pilau

November 2, 2013 By jbmumofone 5 Comments

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken Pilau

This chicken pilau is really tasty and really filling and at just 455 calories per serving it is perfect for the 5:2 diet. I am finding more and more with this diet that it is easier for me to go almost the whole day without eating much at all, perhaps the occasional breadstick or two, and then having a decent evening meal than trying to split my 500 calorie allowance between lunch and dinner. If you are the same then this is definitely one to try. This recipes makes two servings. You will need: 6 sprays of 1 cal cooking spray 2 skinless chicken breasts, approx 150g each, ...

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken and Spinach Curry

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken and Spinach Curry

Despite only losing 1lb last week I am really starting to enjoy the 5:2 diet and almost find myself looking forward to fast days.  Weird eh? Today's recipe has been a huge hit with both me and Mr B and last night we actually found ourselves getting quite full before we had even finished. I found this one on a really useful 5:2 app that I have been using which you can find here. 1 tbsp vegetable oil 4 chicken breasts, halved lengthways 1 onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 green chilli, chopped 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp ...

5:2 Diet: Pork, Courgette and Mushroom Stew

5:2 Diet: Pork, Courgette and Mushroom Stew

One of the things that I am really loving about the 5:2 diet is that it is making me revisit some old recipes. I am also coming to realise that low fat food can actually be super tasty. I am not sure how much weight I lost last week as am due to weigh in two days time so will keep you posted. For tonight's dinner I have prepared an old Weightwatchers recipe that I managed to dig out. Here is what you will need: 350g pork tenderloin or fillet cut into strips 1 large onion, chopped 400g chopped tomatoes 150ml red wine 1 tbsp tomato puree 150ml vegetable stock 1 tsp herbes ...

Belly Busting Countdown: 57 days left

Belly Busting Countdown: 57 days left

Ok, so Thursday again.  In my house this has now become known as weigh-in day, cue scary music.  In the interests of honesty, and avoidance of self-denial, I have been asking the lovely Mr B to check the scales for me before he potters off to work.  But this morning I just could not be bothered to get out of bed, let alone stand naked in the FREEZING cold bathroom.  So warmly snuggled up in bed I stayed. Feeling guilty. Not sleeping. Thinking it is unlikely possible that I may have lost a pound or two. More guilt, until just now I figured I may as well get up and just go do ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
