Screening – Prevention That Saves Lives

August 15, 2019August 15, 2019Leave a comment

Most of you will by now have heard the phrase ‘Prevention is better than cure.’ It’s a saying I have adopted as something of a mantra as a doctor. We’ve seen a huge rise in interest in lifestyle behaviours that affect our health – diet and nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, social connection, to name … Continue reading Screening – Prevention That Saves Lives

Sweet Shepherd’s Pie

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

Shepherd's Pie. What a comforting dish! It is definitely one of those classic, family-friendly dishes, and it's been a staple in our house for a long time. Recently, I wanted to create something a little bit more hands-on than my usual one-pot wonders for meal prep, and I also had the task this week of … Continue reading Sweet Shepherd’s Pie

Vegan Green Basil Almond Pesto

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

Pesto. Yum. There are MANY different variations on the classic 'pine nuts and parmesan cheese' pesto recipe, but when given a jar of nutritional yeast flakes recently, I wanted to get creative with recipes using it! As you guys know, I consider myself 'plant-focused' in terms of how I eat, and I love trying vegetarian … Continue reading Vegan Green Basil Almond Pesto

Spicy Tuna Broccoli Burgers

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

Tins of tuna are definitely a regular feature in my weekly shop - as is tinned mackerel and salmon! I'm a big fish fan, and of course I much prefer fresh fish where possible. But having the tinned variety in the cupboard is so handy for a protein packed boost to any salad or sambo. … Continue reading Spicy Tuna Broccoli Burgers

Herby Roast Mushroom & Walnut Pate

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

Pate is something I can't say I eat a lot of - although I do feel that my hummus addiction is a substitute! I actually searched on a few food websites for a proper definition of pate - one I found most helpful was from a website called The Spruce Eats which said pate was a 'mixture of seasoned … Continue reading Herby Roast Mushroom & Walnut Pate

Pretty in Pink Potato Salad

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

Summers in my house mean many things, but one food-related regular feature is a solid BBQ style dinner. Recently, I decided it was high time to try my hand at a homemade side dish I've been meaning to take on for ages - potato salad! Now, I'm not gonna slam store bough potato salads here, … Continue reading Pretty in Pink Potato Salad

Spicy Beef Chili Stuffed Peppers

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

This was a recipe I had been meaning to try for AGES guys, so when tasked with cooking for the family recently I figured it was high time to give it a go! I absolutely love chili, both meat and vegetarian friendly versions, so I've included both options here with lean beef mince and kidney … Continue reading Spicy Beef Chili Stuffed Peppers

Moroccan Lentil Courgette Burgers

August 3, 2019Leave a comment

After the successful Black Bean Burgers recipe I shared with you guys a few weeks ago, I decided to try my hand at lentil burgers! I love lentils - they're full of fibre (which, I may have mentioned before, as a population we are NOT getting enough of), plant protein and various vitamins and minerals too! They're … Continue reading Moroccan Lentil Courgette Burgers
