Ginger noodle stir fry
I love stir fry. It’s quick, easy, tasty, and can be a great source of fibre—the more variety of veggies, nuts, seeds, and herbs, the more fibre points you get. You pick and choose the ingredients. They can be vegan, vegetarian, or you can add meat. I love the freedom you have and the ability […]
Lemon & Garlic Cod
I purchased some very reasonably priced cod and an Italian lemon in lidl, and needed an easy and quick recipe. Delicious with steamed or roast potatoes, steamed veg, Sauerkraut or whatever you enjoy your fish with. The more varieties of vegetables you have, the more fiber points you will have. Cod is a great source […]
Simple Sourdough Scone
This has to be the most simple scone recipe I have ever tried, and the outcome was delicious fluffy scones! You need a sourdough starter, so if you don’t have one, you will need to make one. I quickly talk through how to make that in this video: https://youtu.be/ylBLkbbipI8?si=2olypY-va7Xq9vD0 . I have switched from the […]

Saturday Kitchen – It’s still soup season!!
February is technically still winter, even though new life is peaking through in the allotment/garden/park! Soup season is still with us. Now, I know I have shared this recipe with you before… BUT it’s delicious, and I know many of you tried it out (because you messaged me to tell me)… And some people here […]
Salmon & spinach curry with aromatic rice and sourdough flatbread
This one isn’t my usual chop-and-drop recipe… But it’s still easy and I can assure you it’s worth it! In advance, you need to prepare your sourdough starter to make the flatbreads. I used to just buy chapati wraps from the shops (convenience is great) until I looked at the ingredients list. A chapati or […]

Stir Fry – Fiber Points 9+ A selection of veg to chop and stir fry: peppers, celery, carrots, onion, broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, beansprouts, green beans, mangetout, edamame, spring onions, chillies, bamboo shoots etc. Lots of supermarkets sell bags of prechopped veg for quickness. 1 clove garlic crushed 1 cm fresh ginger thinly sliced 1 chilli […]
Saturday Kitchen, Spicy Chickpeas
I have no image for this week’s recipe (without stealing one off the internet), so you will have to use your imagination!! I never use canned chickpeas, just because of the flavour of them. So, a bit of forward planning is essential if you are using dried chickpeas. And I would always recommend bulk preparation […]
Porridge… How do you take yours? Sweet, salty… or both??
Porridge… I think the sweet or salty, milk or water debate can be as divisive as pineapple on a pizza (it’s a solid yes for me!) How do you like your porridge? What are your rules? Me, I like both… sweet and salty in the same bowl… just like popcorn… yes you can mix it […]
Easy Hummus Recipe
I don’t like canned chickpeas, I find there is a taste from them that I don’t like, so I use dried chickpeas. You do need to soak them overnight before you cook them. I batch-cook them in my slow cooker, portion them and keep them in the freezer until I want to use them. I […]

Spicy Tomato & Lentil Soup
Hello, Cosy in with a warming soup… Not only can soup be packed with fiber and nutrients, but because you blend it, it can be much easier to digest. If, like me, you can be sensitive to tomatoes, I find when they are cooked, I am less sensitive, but also removing the skins – so […]

Low Sugar Blackberry Jam
Happy Saturday I love jam, but so many shop-bought jams have SO MUCH SUGAR and often a whole load of other ingredients that personally… I don’t think jam needs… As I like to keep it simple, less ingredients the better. And, what’s even better, blackberries are abundant at the moment, which you can forage FOR […]

Gut friendly Kitchari (Lentil Dahl)

Make your own Kimchi
If you don’t know what kimchi is, it’s probably best to start there… Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables, with napa cabbage and Korean radishes being the most common ingredients. I struggled to get napa cabbage, so used sweetheart cabbage instead and I don’t like radish. so I swapped that out […]
Super Lime Pickled Salad Sub
I hope you are well and enjoy these Saturday Kitchen posts… Eating is a joy… Which is not something I would have said 8 years ago. I had what I would now consider a lousy relationship with food for a long time. I would get stressed if I went somewhere for food and didn’t know […]
