"If only healthy eating were easy..."

Have you ever found healthy eating a challenge - as you rack your brains for an idea for another easy healthy meal?

Well fortunately, making healthy food choices can be simple!

If you’re a busy mum like me, you’ll find masses of easy healthy eating ideas and information on this site to help you fit more healthy food into your family's diet, every single day.

It’s all realistic, and manageable, with no following faddy diets, counting calories or endless agonising over vitamins and minerals. As a work at home mum I just don’t have time for any of that – and neither do you.

My take on easy healthy eating is very simple. Cut down on fast, processed foods, and foods high in fat/sugar or salt. Eat loads of fresh veg and fruit, and enjoy simple home-cooked meals made with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

We aren’t perfect - and maybe your family's the same. I have a teenager who loves crisps, an 11-year-old with a secret stash of sweets and a husband whose best friend is chocolate bar...

But day-to-day it's about keeping the balance, and that’s what matters.

On this site you’ll find over 120 easy healthy recipes for quick dishes that taste delicious and use fresh foods. You can start cooking them today!

There are also helpful lists of healthy and unhealthy food choices, to make shopping simpler, plus a rundown of what's in season throughout the year.
