Twice Baked Tuna Potato

Tuna Twice Baked Potato

Or I could have called this Tuna once-microwaved-once-baked potato, but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it!

Blackened Chinese Chicken Salad

Each week I get a lettuce in my organic veggie box, so much so that it feels like we have a never ending supply of the strange purple tinged slightly bitter lettuce.

Turkey, Lemon and Thyme Burgers

It might be the start of grilling season in some parts of the world, but here despite the sunshine it’s still darn cold. This is why this recipe for burgers came to my attention – you bake them, then pan fry them to crisp up the outside. So if like me you are still too chicken to get out the barbecue – these burgers are for you.

Asparagus Salad

If you are new to my blog you may want to subscribe to the CoffeeMuffins RSS Feed or follow me on twitter. I tend to focus on quick healthy dinners, and not-so-healthy muffins and sweets :) Enjoy!

Some things you just don’t want to muck around with too much. When you have wonderful, fresh, local, seasonal produce there isn’t a lot you need to do.

Salmon Kedgeree

Now please don’t take away my food blogging license – but I am going to tell you a secret. Until Friday I had never boiled an egg.

Salmon Kedgeree

I’ve fried eggs, poached them, scrambled them, made omelettes and frittatas but I’ve never hard or soft boiled an egg.

Whole Wheat Pizza

Often we food bloggers forget how to do simple we start caramelising our pears and over egging the omelette. Sometimes simple is just as good as our over the top attempts at chef quality food, sometimes simple can be even be better.

Fennel, Orange and Pecan Quinoa Salad

In January most people start to detox a little after all the Christmas indulgences, I say most people because I did not. I ate my way through all the chocolate and cakes, and then bought or made more. While it was amazing at the time I am starting to notice the negative impacts of all my fun and relaxing.

So here we go. First step a healthy lunch for tomorrow at work.

When I thought about healthy eating I thought salad – but lettuce leaves are boring, or pasta but it’s a bit carb-elicious, then Quinoa came to mind. Quinoa is a great source of protein so it is especially good for vegans and vegetarians (although I am obviously neither).

Beetroot and Pumpkin Salad

Last night I roasted a huge bunch of vegetables – I plan to use them for all kinds of things over the next couple of days. But I thought I start simply to bring out the great flavours of the ingredients.

Cannellini beans, Tomato and Kale Soup

I feel like being rather lazy this weekend, to hibernate away from the cold drizzle. On days where you need the main light on during the peak sunlight hours, I find it particularly difficult to remember that Spring does come. That soon I won’t come home from work in the dark, and that I’ll venture outside without a jacket on – but today that feels awfully far away.
