Clean and Lean: Prawn and Vegetable Broth

Clean and Lean: Prawn and Vegetable Broth

We JUST made this for tea tonight and it was so super easy I had to write it up for you guys.  I am starting to concentrate more on my food this week as I start a new diet and fitness programme next Monday so want to try out some stuff this week so I have them in my armoury!   For more clean and lean recipe ideas head on over here. Enjoy! For those of you using the Beachbody Portion Containers I think each serving counts as roughly...1/2 red container, 1 green container and 1 teaspoon.  (I'm not sure where on earth the oyster and soy would go...shhhhh) ...

Creamy Asparagus Soup #cleanandlean

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 ...

Clean and Lean: Sweet Chilli Turkey Balls

Now that we are back to daily workouts the increase in exercise is beginning to reflect equally in our appetites here at Casa B. I am now in the habit of making a large batch of turkey meatballs on a Sunday and Mr B and I will gradually work our way through them throughout the week, whenever we are in need of a clean, low-fat, high protein snack. Below is a batch I just made with a chilli twist. If you are not a chilli fan simply substitute the spring onion and sweet chilli sauce for some finely diced shallots and a few teaspoons of dried herbs. (Oregano, basil and thyme work ...

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 ...

Family Winter Beef Casserole

Family Winter Beef Casserole

Now we are back in the cold grip of Winter Mr B and I are craving more and more slow-cooked hearty food.  This family winter beef casserole is one of my favourites.  Ir is really simple to make, freezes well, and the kids love it too.  I find stews one of the easiest ways to get vegetables into the toddler who can be a little fussy at times. For me the key to this recipe is time, thyme, and thickly chopped carrots.  I love how sweet and soft they get after several hours in the pot. If you do give this a go please let me know what you think below.   ...

Recipe: Cod and Chorizo Stew #MorrisonsMum

Anyone on twitter or Instagram this weekend will have noticed #MorrisonsMum cropping up all over the place.  Morrisons, in conjunction with Britmums, asked a whole load of us bloggers to check out their local store and come up with something tasty for the bank holiday.  So, on Monday, we headed into Morrisons Cardiff and this is what we found: The 'Market Street' fruit and veg are kept really fresh by these wonderful cold mist jets.  The boy was absolutely fascinated by them.  The baby got a bit cold. The range of fish and seafood on offer was impressive and Mr B was delighted.  We picked ...

5:2 Diet: Chicken and White Bean Stew

5:2 Diet: Chicken and White Bean Stew

Although we are no longer doing the 5:2 diet I recently made this stew from the BBC Good Food Magazine and think that it would make a perfect evening meal option. It is healthy, cheap, filling and only 291 calories per serving, (without the bread). It was also really simple to make and even the toddler liked it, despite the vegetables! For this recipe you will need: 2 tbsp sunflower oil 400g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into chunks 1 onion, finely chopped 3 carrots, finely chopped 3 celery sticks, finely chopped 2 thyme sprigs or ½ tsp dried ...
