Veggie Breakfast
Yummy poached eggs are easier to make than you think. The most important think is that the eggs are of good quality and that they are fresh.
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Avocado
- 5 kale leaves
- 1 handful green beans
- 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Put the green beans and kale on to simmer with a pinch of salt
- Meanwhile yourself a wide, deep pan and fill it with boiling water from the kettle. Bring it to a light simmer over a medium heat add a pich of salt.
- Crack one of your eggs into a cup and gently pour it into the water in one fluid movement. Repeat with the rest of the eggs. Depending on your pan, a really soft poached egg should take around 2 minutes and a soft to firm one will need 4 minutes (it depends on the size of the eggs). To check whether they’re done, remove one carefully from the pan with a slotted spoon and give it a gentle push with a teaspoon. If it feels too soft, put it back and give the eggs a minute or two more in the water to firm up.
- When they’re ready, remove them to some kitchen paper to dry off and a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Remove veggies and strain to serve slice avocado and sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top.

Chicken fajitas
I absolutely love mexican food its full of flavor and very filling. This no carb version is amazing and I'm sure you will love it as much a we do.
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper diced
- 6 large yellow bell pepper cut off tops and remove seeds- these are instead of tortillas
- 1 large green bell pepper diced
- 5 raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin lengthwise (about 7 oz. each)
- 1 slice large red onion thin
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pot of 0% total greek yogurt
- 1 large ripe tomato
- 3 avocado very ripe
- juice 1 large lime
- leaves handful coriander and stalks chopped, plus a few leaves, roughly chopped, to serve
- 1 small red onion finely chopped
- 1 chilli red or green, deseeded and finely chopped
- 250 g ripe vine tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 red chilli
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
- Put the entire peppers in place of tortillas in the oven for 25/30 mins they need to be cooked through ready for the filling. I put tops i just put in for the last 15 mins so they don't fall apart.
- Make the guacamole: use a large knife to pulverise the tomato to a pulp on a board, then tip into a bowl. Halve and stone the avocados (saving a stone) and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into the bowl with the tomato.
- Tip all the other ingredients into the bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Use a whisk to roughly mash everything together. If not serving straight away, sit a stone in the guacamole (this helps to stop it going brown), cover with cling film and chill until needed. Scatter with the coriander.
- Make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes, then squeeze out and discard the seeds – this seems a bit wasteful, but it really intensifies the flavour of the salsa. Finely chop the tomato flesh and onion. Halve, seed and finely chop the chilli. Mix the tomato, onion and chilli in a bowl with the coriander and some salt and pepper. At this point the salsa can be covered and chilled for up to 2 days, but bring it back to room temperature before serving.
- Saute’ everything in a large pan, adding the spices about half way through.
- Fill your peppers and serve topped with salsa and guacamole and Greek yogurt.

Dirty bunless burger
I have to say the day I made this recipie it was one of the happiest days ever! It's just unbelievably good, 100% clean but so dirty 😉 and, I'm sure you will absolutely love it.
Ingredients
- Two 3/4-cup ramekins sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
- 1 sweet potato peeled and ends cut flat
- 1 large egg
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 small burger organic and grass fed beef
- 1 slice oinion
- 1 slice beef tomato
- 1 leaf lettice
- 1 tbsp coconut oil divided
Instructions
- Using a spiralizer, cut sweet potato into thin strands.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/2 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat. Add garlic power and sweet potato and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg. Stir in sweet potato, salt and pepper. Divide between prepared ramekins, filling each about 1 third and pressing the sweet potato down into the ramekins. Its really important not to make them too thick as they can easily fall apart if you do and they are much better crisp. Cover with greaseproof paper and place a heavy can or jar on top of the wrap to weigh down the sweet potato. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Start grilling your burger just before you are ready to cook the buns. Put the onion slices and burger into a frying pan with a small amount of coconut oil you don't need much as the natural juices will come out of the burger.
- Slice a tomato and a small lettice leaf ready to build your dirty burger.
- Lightly coat a pan with the remaining oil and heat over medium-high heat. Remove greaseproof paper and tap ramekins to slide noodle buns onto skillet and add the onion slice. Cook, turning once, for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides and hot in the center.
- Build your dirty burger, Enjoy.
