Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers



Easy recipe alert! These are so ridiculously easy and make a perfect week night meal with at least 3 of your 5 a day in. Sorry I'm going veggie again with this next recipe, usually I'd add some chorizo to add a bit of a Spanish feel but as I'm still at home stocking the cupboards isn't my priority so I'm having to be a little more creative with my ingredients. You can probably use regular bell peppers if you like, but I prefer these red Romano peppers as they are much easier to fill and having a larger area of rice ensures it gets nice and crispy in the oven.


This was a cute week night meal for Dad and I before we went off to the pool for training (or coaching)

Ingredients: (serves 2 greedy people)

Low Fat Vegetarian Pizza Recipe


Since I got back from Italy I have been desperate to try and create a healthy pizza and today (with my boyfriend off on holiday) I finally got the chance with this spur-of-the-moment lunchtime idea!

I had minimal ingredients (hence why this is a recipe for white pizza- no tomatoes!) and not much time so fussing around with yeast was out of the question. 

The combination of wholemeal and white flour helps lower the GI index of the pizza (in plain speak: it'll keep you fuller for longer). Adding sweet potato again adds nutrients whilst keeping the GI low and I used low fat cream cheese spread. 

Ingredients: (serves 2 for lunch or 1 hungry person for dinner)
