After an indulgent Christmas punctuated by bouts of flu and bugs aplenty, and a trip to the Alps for skiing, I was glad to be back in my own kitchen creating some healthy family meals! Now I’ve returned to work after maternity leave we’re getting lots of use out of the slow cooker I won in a competition by Feel Free Foods – it’s so easy to just throw ingredients in, and have a delicious, rich and flavoursome meal waiting for you at the end of the day.
I created this calcium-rich Chicken, Chickpea, Apricot & Quinoa one pot dish for my slow cooker. Recipe here
Quorn now have gluten free certification for some of their products! Great for low-fat high-protein dishes like this bolognese with spiralised courgette ‘spaghetti’
Another slow cooker dish – this time a smoky vegan 5 bean chilli topped with soured cashew cream
It wasn’t all health and veggies in January! These are just some of the gluten free puddings I sampled in one day whilst judging the Free From Food Awards
