Poached eggs served with wilted spinach and a mug of caffeinated love

This protein packed breakfast will start your day off with a smile - poached eggs on a bed of wilted spinach (microwave raw spinach leaves for 1 min = hi wilted spinach) and a cafe latte to get you moving. Love this breakfast! Serve with salt and pepper and a smile. Happy Monday!

Teriyaki Salmon

This grilled salmon dish is so delicious and so healthy! Yay!

I soaked the salmon fillets in Teriyaki sauce for 2 hours before grilling them for 6-8 minutes, the trick is all in the timing - overcooking this is sinful!! Now truth be told I used store bought Teriyaki sauce, but if you are feeling awesome - try this recipe to make your own.

Served with steamed basmati rice and stir-fried greens, topped with a splash of soya sauce. Enjoy! x

The perfect poached egg

How to poach an egg - this is how, after much trial and error, I have learned how to poach an egg

In a small saucepan, heat some water until boiling, add some malt vinegar - a few splashes will do.

Remove the pan from the heat now, so the bubbles settle, crack and settle the egg into the pan gently.

Now replace the pan to the heat, turning down the temperature so as not to have the water bubbling again. This will only disperse the egg and overcook it.

Allow the egg to rest in the hot water for about 7 mins (or longer for a firmer yolk) and remove gently when ready - serve with wilted spinach on toast. Perfect power breakfast! 

Egg and Chickpea salad

This deliciousness in form of healthiness is the perfect lunch and an excellent source of protein for my fellow veggies out there.

1 tin of chickpeas
small tin of sweetcorn
diced plum tomatoes
half an avocado
handful of lettuce mixed with rocket
- Mix together in a happy mess and top with two warm hard boiled eggs.

Dash of olive oil and seasoning never harmed anyone.
