I have a sweet tooth, well actually, I also have a savoury tooth. I generally just love food! But I also love being healthy and fuelling my body well for a healthy and active life.

I love omelettes. I have at-least one every day, sometimes two! I love both savoury and sweet ones. You name the fruit or vegetable and I could almost guarantee you that it could go in an omelette! Using a mixture of a full egg and egg whites, omelettes can be a nutritious high protein, low fat meal.

Desserts are generally seen as a 'naughty treat', but they don't have to be! I eat dessert most nights of the week. I love sweet things! But desserts don't have to be unhealthy, in fact they can be very highly nutritious!

Legumes are staple ingredients in my diet - kidney beans, chick peas, lentils, butter beans etc. I love them. Not only are they quick and easy ingredients to add to meals, but they also provide an amazing amount of nutrition. They contain an array of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that optimise good health. They are also a great source of fibre, which helps regulate blood glucose and insulin levels.

Nutritious treats can be hard to find, so I have decided to make my own.

I love salads and there is no better time to try out new salad recipes than in summer! Summer is also a great time for a wide variety of fresh fruit, and so I love to incorporate fruit into my salads.

A few months ago I bought a new kitchen appliance which came with it's own recipe book. In it is two salad recipes that have become a weekly staple for me - they are really quick and easy to make and super healthy. With the warm weather now here, it's a great time to test out some new salad recipes, so I thought I would share these two with you.

It can be hard to think of healthy snack ideas, and sometimes a piece of fruit just won't cut it. Most days i have a delicious fruit and yoghurt snack - which can also make a great breakfast or dessert!

Along with my banana bread recipe, here is another recipe for a healthy morning or afternoon snack.

Ratatouille is a healthy Mediterranean dish that is great both hot or cold, so perfect for all year round. I made this dish last night for dinner, and served it with grilled chicken. YUM!
