Healthy Lunch Sandwich Filling – Creamy Chicken with a Kick

Finding interesting, high protein lunches can be a big challenge if you’re trying to balance your diet. Especially if you need something that you can take with you to eat at work, and you perhaps don’t have access to a kitchen to heat things up. Recently Warburtons got in touch to introduce me to their

Retro Chick Cooks: The Eggy Cheese Sandwich

I don’t do recipes often on here. Not unless they’re for Cocktails anyway. In fact, this may well be only my second recipe post in over 8 years. During Glamorous July one of my challenges was to cook someone a favourite meal. So I cooked Mr Chick one of his long time favourites, eggy cheese

Recipe: Tropical Overnight Protein Chia Oats

Overnight oats are a breakfast staple for me. My basic recipe stays the same – oats, chia seeds and protein powder. I do like to jazz it up using different flavoured protein, different milk and different toppings. Sometime ago now (and I haven’t written about it yet because I am rubbish!) I was sent some delicious

Victory Scotch Eggs – Cooking Through the Decades

Years go in a fit of optimism I thought I might occasionally post recipes on here. In actual fact I think I managed to share one, for Cranberry and Mulled Wine Stew. I do very occasionally post recipes on Lipstick, Lettuce & Lycra, but to be honest I’m really not organised enough to post recipes

Recipe: Scrambled Eggs & Ham with Schwartz Oregano

I have to confess I have a cupboard stuffed with jars of dried herbs that I rarely use. Many of them went out of date years ago, so don’t really taste of anything any more. It’s not that I don’t want to use them, it’s just that I seem to forget they are there. When

Recipe: High Protein Black Forest Smoothie

Smoothies are one of my favourite breakfast choices, along with overnight oats. I tend to fall back on banana, almond milk, flavoured protein powder, and maybe some chia seeds or other addition, and sometimes it gets a bit samey. So I was browsing Pinterest for inspiration, and spotted several variations of the idea of a

7 Days of Protein Packed Breakfast Smoothies

If there’s one thing I learned from my Breakfast experiment last year, it was that a protein packed breakfast will keep you full much longer than anything else. For a long time I wasn’t a breakfast eater as I found I got hungry quicker if I ate first thing, but recently I’ve discovered that eating

Recipe: Healthy Friday Fish and Chips

I hope you’re all enjoying your Easter Weekend? I’ve had my Mum & Dad up to visit for part of it, and on Good Friday my Mum decided we ought to eat fish, because, you know, tradition. I REALLY hate cooking fish normally, and I’m not a huge fish eater as I hate the bones,

Indigo Herbs Recipe Challenge

I’m not normally a fan of challenges involving food, because they’re normally of the “eat a whole cow in 10 minutes and get it free” variety, but I took part in this one because it was a little different! Indigo Herbs are a small family run company based in Glastonbury, and they wanted to send
