Entrée!

Welcome to my blog! As the text at the top of the page suggests, I have started this blog with a view of sharing homemade healthy recipes and meal ideas.
Not only is this a place for me to compile my own recipes for reference but I'm hoping I can inspire you to either use the recipes or create your own versions of them! I'm also hoping to share meal plans and meals out because, let's face it, life sometimes gets in the way of the best laid homemade plans, so let's embrace a few shop-bought products along the way! I hold my hands up that as a busy wife, and mother, I have no qualms about using some 'cheat' products along the way. I'm not talking "take a ready meal and add salad" but if there's a shop-bought sauce that will be just as good (if not better) than a homemade creation, then I'm all for it! 

I've heard so many times 'healthy food is boring' and I plan to banish that myth! I'm also not the type of person who can live on a meal replacement or shake diet. I completely believe in the mantra that slow and steady wins the race when it comes to weight loss. I'm a  real food girl through and through so it's just about making sensible choices and getting the right balance.

I am no saint either. Are you?! I'm sure there will be some 'sod the calories' recipes from time to time(we all need a big blow out once in a while to put us back on track) but my aim is to create a collection of easy to prepare nutritional food which won't leave a bitter aftertaste at weigh in!


Disclaimers aka The boring bit!

Originality
This blog has been created in order to share recipes and meal ideas which, with so many like minded people worldwide when it comes to food, I cannot guarantee have not been created before. I will of course credit original recipes and authors where possible but I cannot be held responsible should someone else have already created something the same! 

Nutrition
All nutritional values are approximated by my rough calculations. I am not a human calculator nor a qualified nutritionist, therefore, please take everything with a pinch of salt (pun intended!)
