Roasted Courgettes with Pinenuts and Cottage cheese

Most people say they fail on their healthy eating habits because they get home from work late or don't have time to cook fresh. I know it can be hard but cooking from scratch really does not take that long. I came home from a yoga class at 9.45pm too starving to go to bed without food. Yet this was made in 10mins and popped in the oven so that by the time I'd had a shower it was ready.
Not great to eat late but with something so light it is fine.

Ingredients
1 large courgette
1 large Beef steak tomato, chopped
2 tbsp of cottage cheese
1/2 red pepper chopped
Handful of fresh basil and fresh mint
1tsp of pine nuts

Slice the courgette in two vertically and cut out the inside. You won't be able to get it all out this way without breaking the skin so do the rest by using a teaspoon and gently scraping out.
Squeeze liberally with lemon juice or even an orange if that's all you have got to hand. Then fill with the chopped up vegetables, herbs and pine nuts. Top with cottage cheese, season and pop in the oven 200 for around 15-20mins.

Spicy Mustard Seed Stir Fry

When you make an attempt to change the way you eat, particularly if you're trying to diet, portions can sometimes seem small. But don't be tempted to pile more on your plate - eat first and you can always add more. If your plate is full to begin with though, you're likely to eat it even if you're not hungry.
This dish is a case in point where it can at first seem like there is not enough - trust me, it's filling enough.

Ingredients
Birds eye chilli, finely chopped (use as much/little as you like)
Garlic, finely chopped
Broccoli, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
2dsp of chick peas
red pepper, chopped
1tsp of mustard seeds
sprinkle of sesame seeds
tamari or soy sauce to taste
orange segment

Saute the chilli, garlic in the juice of the orange - add a bit of water if needed to prevent it burning and becoming acrid. Add the veggies with the tamarai or soy sauce to taste. Cook until softened but the veg should still have bite.
Serve with quinoa if you are on the first four weeks of Fitbitch or with an omelette if you are on the maintenance.

Rainbow breakfast

After you've been exercising in the cold, wintry morning - or you've rolled out of bed - you might feel like all you want to eat is a big mound of baked beans on toast. But it is possible to do healthy, warming brekkies with a hint of summer all year round.
Try this Muesli with natural yoghurt and pineapple, raspberry and cinnammon compote.
To make the compote, heat a tablespoon or so of frozen raspberries and a desert spoon of pineapple (don't go overboard on the pineapple if you're on the four week eating plan - it is sweet!). Add cinnamon to taste and serve over muesli with yoghurt and chopped apple. Delicious!
