Okay, so we're ready for week two (sorry, I'm writing these up at slightly odd times)... another set of healthy recipes for under £20, and all bought during one shopping trip.
I once read in the lovely 'Campervan Coast' cookbook/lifestyle book that one particularly healthy breakfast recipe would give you 'a dash of early morning smugness'... I rather liked this term and these recipes give me similar feeling. I know you should never judge your own healthiness against others' unhealthiness but, try as I may to refrain, I can't help but feel a little pleased with myself when I reach for my whole-wheat lemon spaghetti instead of the oh so tempting chip sandwiches which are constantly looming over me at work. So take these recipes and cook them instead of reaching for that infamous pot noodle... but keep your smugness inside - these recipes are yummy, but they won't taste quite as good if you're eating them alone in the toilet because you've annoyed all your flatmates with your healthy smugness!
spag, lentils, pizza, mush, chilli, frittata, pesto
Day 1:
Wholewheat lemon spaghetti with courgettes and lemon
Day 2:
Lentils and chorizo with peppers and spinach leaves
Day 3:
Roasted pepper and pesto rye pizzas
Day 4:
Smashed avocados with garlic mushrooms on rye
Day 5:
Chorizo chilli with guacamole
Day 6:
Red pepper and chorizo frittata
Day 7:
Spinach and pesto spaghetti
... and yes I'm still going on the porridge with bananas and walnuts for breakfast (and fruit for snacks)... I know it may not be thrilling, but porridge is probably the best value breakfast you'll find - and personally I need all that slow release energy ahead of a 12hr shift! A friend has recommended a thrifty bircher muesli recipe, so I plan to give that one a go next week... the porridge end is nigh I promise!
