Cheese and broccoli bites | How to...

I mentioned a while back that I've been trying to get a little more healthy ready for my summer holiday, which has been going OK until I was tempted into buying a bar of the new Cadbury's marvellous creations chocolate - I've been craving it ever since. So to kick my sweet cravings I had a browse on pinterest to find a simple healthy recipes to fill in for my chocolate snacking habit. Take a look at what I made...




What you'll need:

3 large eggs
2 handfuls of grated cheese 
Bread crumbs, I used 3 slices of bread
1 cup of broccoli 
Herbs/Spice of your choice (optional)



There really isn't much technique to this recipe - just throw all the ingredients into a bowl and make sure it's mixed up evenly. Next, separate the mixture into little balls and place onto a greased tray. I sprinkled a little bit of hot spice on the top of each ball to finish off as my boyfriends a spice merchant, but this is completely optional. All you need to do now is place them into a preheated oven at around 190c for 15 minutes, then flip each little ball over and cook for another 10 minutes. 



... And voila! I love finding recipes that I don't have to run out to the shops to pick up ingredients for, I generally have frozen broccoli in my fridge and the rest are staples in my kitchen. This one's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables from your Sunday lunch or dinner in the week and remember you don't just have to use broccoli, the kitchen is your oyster!

What have you guys been cooking recently? Let me know if you try this out too...

What's for breakfast?

Over the past couple of weeks I've been trying to get a little more healthy. I'm not the type of girl that can cut down to salad and nuts, never touching a chocolate bar again.. No-no. Instead I've just been cutting down on fatty foods and introducing some fruits and veggies to my diet. Here's a tasty, filling option I've had for breakfast - it looks great if you're having people over and will keep you full until lunch time. Take a look...



You will need:
1/2 an Avocado 
3 pieces of streaky bacon
Bread of your choice 

Looking at these photos is making me crave Avocado, it makes for a great alternative to butter, it kind of has the same texture and tastes amazing with the bacon. This meal idea would also make a lovely starter if you were having a dinner party, or a quick and easy lunch time snack. 

What healthy recipes do you guys like? I'd love to know...
