Dinner: Steamed Sweet Potato & Feta Salad Really simple to make, but tasty all the same. I find the bitterness of the feta and rocket balance nicely with the sweetness of the potato. I steamed the sweet potato for around 20 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and black pepper. :) 

For this Tortilla with a twist, I followed a basic recipe (you can find plenty online) but substituted regular potato for sweet potato. 

3. serve with lettuce of your choice and cous cous (I used corn couscous). Scatter with poppy seeds for garnish. Perfect for a simple healthy lunch or can be served as an alternative starter to a traditional prawn (yawn) cocktail !

After not having lychees in years, I had a bit of a craving for them today. This is a sweet, but very refreshing drink! Suitable for vegans 

I haven't posted for a good few weeks - been very busy. Here is one of my fave healthy lunches- Fresh mozzarella & tomato on bread thins with a side salad.  I've noticed my entries have so far been quite samey, so I plan to do something a little more adventurous for my next few entries!
