Cheap, cheerful and relatively healthy.

I get home from work around 3pm usually very hungry and like to make a filling lunch a few hours before exercising, I usually go for a salad or something rice based. If you're like me and don't enjoy spending too much time in the kitchen or don't have much time to then you should try this.

Fry the cod fillet in oil, until cooked (roughly 5-8 minutes depending), add the spices to taste, I like spice so went a bit over board with the chilli. Add the pepper then after a few minutes add the microwavable pilau rice and some more chilli if it's not hot enough. Top it off with cooling avocado and coriander.

This took approx 15 minutes to put together, enjoy!

If you're like me and mostly late for work in the mornings then you'd appreciate this quick and easy breakfast recipe. I spotted this on Kayla Itsines website (here) and I had to try it out for myself, being the huge egg lover I am.

Method: Pre heat the oven to 180c, and prepare a muffin tray with oil (don't use muffin cups like I did!)

Beat together the eggs, milk and flour, then add the courgette and cheese until all combined. Then pour into the muffin holes right to the top and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Then when you're rushed in the mornings just heat in the microwave for 30 seconds and enjoy! (I had mine with a teeny bit of ketchup)

This easy delicious brunch is my take on the 'Leon Egg Pot' after seeing the Debriefs take on it I had to try my own. Also try a splash of Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce!

Basically this is a microwave meal, put the tinned toms or chosen sauce and chilli powder in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute (wrap the bowl in clingfilm btw!). Then add the beans, chorizo and the already cooked mushrooms then microwave for another minute then crack an egg in in the middle and microwave for a final minute and viola! Top with chopped paisley or basil, ever or.

Enjoy (I'll probably be eating this a lot..)

Dieting and trying not to break the bank at the same time can be difficult.. especially if you're like me and in a part-time retail job and living at your boyfriends parents where you're too shy to help yourself to the contents of their fridge, even after being given permission to.

So yes it's just a stir fry... but you save about 90p (sainsburys price) for making your own sauce with things you may already have!

I'm so glad I added the crispy fried egg though, it was like the icing on top of the cake...
