lentil-bolognaiseA vegetarian take on a very popular classic. Lentils are an excellent source of protein and fibre, and combined with a bunch of other vegetables, this is one super healthy meal! 

This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables – just dice and throw in whatever you’ve got.

Ingredients (serves 4):
1 tin brown lentils, rinsed and drained
1 jar good quality tomato pasta sauce
1 tomato, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 stick celery, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 small tin sweet corn, drained
Small handful of black olives, sliced (optional)
Cooked wholemeal spaghetti or steamed zucchini noodles to serve

Method:

  • Combine all ingredients except pasta in a large saucepan and simmer, covered, over medium heat for 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add a small amount of water if sauce is too thick.
  • Serve with pasta or zucchini noodles and top with parmesan.

The Perfect Breakfast: Homemade Toasted Muesli

muesliMuesli is one of the best breakfasts going around. Its got plenty of low GI carbohydrates and fibre thanks to the oats and dried fruit, plus protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds – everything you want in a super healthy breakfast.

But while muesli tastes great, there’s something about the crunchiness of toasted muesli which is even better. Unfortunately, commercially made toasted muesli is usually full of added sugar, fat and salt – not exactly the basis of a healthy breakfast. But this doesn’t mean you have to go back to the raw stuff.

Making your own toasted muesli is not only amazingly satisfying, it also means you can add in all your favourite ingredients and you know exactly what’s in it. Plus, you can make up a big batch to last you a few weeks – an activity guaranteed to leave you feeling virtuous on a Sunday afternoon. [Read More…]
