About Me

My photo
I think every meal (yes, every meal!) can and should incorporate some kind of fruit or vegetable. This is a blog that will show you how. I'm a Health Advisor by trade, which means I help people find easy, realistic ways to tweak their eating and exercise habits to maximise their health and well-being. I firmly beleive being healthy is not about dieting, skipping meals, cutting out food groups or exercising until you can't see straight. All you need is to move more, and vegetate your plate!

Carrotuccine: Carrot Fettuccine


Carrot-uccine. A healthy, crunchy, colourful and yummy take on fettucine. 

Why so good?

One large carrot gives a whopping two and a half times your daily recommended vitamin A intake - helping to keep your peepers sparkling and healthy and improve night vision. 

According to Wikipedia (so therefore fact, obviously), during WWII the RAF hid their advanced radar technology from axis powers by spreading rumours that their gunners' high carrot consumption had resulted in amazing night vision.

Whether or not this humble little root vegetable is really responsible for helping the allies, we do know it can help you work our way towards a healthy waistline. 

The perfect option for a warm summers evening. 

The How-To:

1. Wash carrot well
2. Use a potato peeler to cut carrot into thin strips
3. Optional: add to pasta sauce a few minutes before serving to soften a little. Or just go ahead and use raw!
