No everyone tolerates beans very well, and often the canned baked beans are full of sugar and salt. So why not make your own! I have used green peas instead of beans. Green peas are much more nutritious and full of vitamin K, fiber and antioxidants and are very affordable. This makes a great side dish with lunch or dinner.

This is perfect for a mid-week dinner when you are time poor but still want to eat well. Buying a cooked chicken is perfect for this recipe. You can always mix up the vegetables with what you have in the fridge.

Eggplant has to be one of my favourite vegetables, it is so versatile and its purple skin contains phytonutrients which are powerful antioxidants that help fight off free radicals and protect our cells from damage. Eggplant is able to take on-board many different flavours without being over powering and can easily be hidden into many recipes.
I really like eating hummus as a snack with vegetable sticks so I often play around with what else I can do to change it up.

Nachos are often considered an unhealthy meal due to the amount of added salt and sugar through the use of processed sauces, the amount of cheese, guacamole and corn chops that they are served with. I have created a healthy take on nachos that is still full of flavour and misusing a lot of the processed foods and adding in lots of vegetables. I am intolerant to cow’s milk dairy so I like to serve mine with a small amount of goat or sheep’s fetta.
