All diets start on a Monday... or do they?

No! They can actually start any day, so why put it off until Monday?  Get started today!

This morning I had a delicious courgette omelette, it's filling, proteins packed, gluten free, sugar free and lots of other healthy buzz words I'm sure, but best of all (especially for busy mums) quick and easy to cook!



So here's the recipe:

Grate 1/2 a medium courgette and squeeze out the excess water
Grate a small carrot
Thinly slice 1/4 onion or chop a spring onion
Mix all together with a large egg
Season with salt, pepper and optional chilli sprinkles
Heat some frylight in a pan
Add you mixture and press out in to a large fritter shape or 2 smaller ones
Cook on a medium heat until set and dark golden, then flip and repeat
Eat as it is or top with a poached egg or mayonnaise

And teatime - well! I made beetroot hummus from a recipe by Stephanie haferty (see her book 'no-dig home and garden' for the recipe), and had it with a baked chicken breast which was cooked with garlic and lemon and some baguette, it was delicious. The tartness from the lemon went really well with the slightly sweet beetroot taste of the hummus.
