Simple as anything and Great way to use up what you got in your fridge 

So I go through what i got in the fridge and pick out what i fancy and what might go well together
then I put everything in a blender and mix up and add the mince last make into balls and fry on the pan!!
Sometimes I make double and freeze after I cook it in plastic boxes so its ready to go into the oven, and it makes a quick meal at a later date! :)

The recipe I used this time was  :
600gr Lean mince beef
1 Yellow pepper
1 Red onion
2 large Celery sticks
2 Cloves garlic
Large desert spoon Creamy garlic and Herb spread (free from as I'm intolerant to dairy)
1 Egg
Little season all and garlic spices

All mixed up nicely in a blender and then I use 2 spoons to make the balls and fry on a pan with a little vegetable oil :)

And its always easy to change this recipe and "hide" vegetables you would like your children to eat, or even that you would like to eat but don't really like the taste of! :)

Healthy Simple Lunch Ideas

So 4 weeks ago completely changed my lifestyle, I started watching what I was eating but made sure I was eating enough and enough of the good stuff :)

I signed up for myfitnesspal and took together how much I should be eating in Kcal and came out to about 2350 Kcal a day, so I make sure I have about 1800 a day to keep my weight loss going and then I do my exercises 3x a week , run/walk 5k a week and cycle 3,5km 3x a week :)

Here are some of my simple lunch ideas :

Mixed seed bread with a bit of butter, bacon and egg!, absolutely hits the spot, love the simplicity and still so lovely and tasty! 

A Mexican spicy bean burger (vegan!), I tried this first the other day and fell in love!!, this might possibly be one of my favourite things to have at the moment , I put it in a mix seed deli roll  topped with a tiny bit of reggea  reggae sauce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion and lettuce! 

Tuna Salad salad!

One of my favourites!, I looove tuna, i could eat it all day long!, there i put loads of lettuce,cucumber, tomatoes, onion, bits of cheese, pumpkin seeds , sunflower seeds, linseed, and the tuna on top! 

feels light and you don't feel to stuffed after it! 

Omelet is a very common lunch for me, I will whisk together 2-3 eggs ( depending on how hungry I am), with Almond milk, then place what ever ingredients I want and got in the fridge on the pan cook for a few minutes before I add the egg and milk mix, ones cooked on the button I will place the pan into the grill and cook it on top ( sometimes sprinkle a little cheese on top before i put the pan in the grill),

and cant forget to add a little salad to the side :)

This I tried for the first time today!,
As I was in Tesco today looking at something quick to grab with me I looked at the description of the foods and kcal and price and thought  ; no way I'm going to pay this much for something so unhealthy!, So bought the kingsmill thins (6 for a £1) and 250gr of chicken for £2.50. Jumped home and made this lovely lunch!

Kingsmill Sandwich things (99kcal), so I topped it with a little light mayo, cucumber, onions and chicken. Absolutely perfect and made it so quickly!

Thank you and hope you like it, 

I put updates regularly on instagram @justdiymama if you would like to have a look 

My favorita tortilla!

Tortillas in them selfs are quite easy to do. with a few toppings this plane circler bread becomes something amazing!, 

these are my favorite things to top a tortilla with

I like to use a spicy tomato sause, cheese, mince (or chicken), onion, cucumber,tomatoes,lettuce and apple, and sometimes when i got rice i put that with it! :)  looovely and filling and yet I dont feel bloated after.
hope this gives you some ideas :)

Amazing Puff pastry buns

A super simple easy snack 

The puff pastry rolls you can fill with whatever you like!

I like to buy a ready prerolled puff pastry sheet from the shops, my favorit filling is 

sweetcorn, ham and spinach, but you can use whatever you like, just make sure its not to wet as the pastry wont puff as well as it should.

I mix my filling in a bowl and spread out the pastry on a bakingsheet,

Spread the mix evenly on the pastry and roll the pastry up from bottom to the top, Cut the pastry gently into little rolls and put with even spaces onto the bakingsheet, back at 180°C for aprox 15 minutes or untill nicely golden and its allways good to take one of the rolls out and open it to see if its cooked through.

- Thank you -
