About Me

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!

Pine-ing for Veg: Stir Fry with Pine Nuts, Tuna and Boiled Egg


Stir-fry. Quite possibly the easiest way to get a trailer-load of veg in your face. A great meal for a summers evening to leave you feeling full but not heavy (nobody wants to sink in the swimming pool).

Topped with tuna (or other fish of choice), a boiled egg and some roasted pine nuts to add protein and crunch. 

What You'll Need:
Per Person

- Half a packet stir fry veg (easily bought in veggie section of all supermarkets for circa £1)
- 1 small tin of tuna in sunflower oil
- 1 hard boiled egg
- A tablespoon of pine nuts 

The How-To:

1. Place the pine nuts in a wok or frying pan over a low heat WITHOUT any oil, until lightly bronzed
2. Remove from pan and set aside
3. Add a dash of oil to the pan (you can use the oil from the tuna here if you fancy) and turn up the heat
4. Pop the veg mix in and stir continuously for ~4.5 minutes (my method: put iPod on. Stir for more than one song but less than two).
5. Take off the heat and transfer to serving dish. 
6. Pop tuna, boiled egg (roughly cut up) and pine nuts on top. 

Tip: packs up brilliantly for a crunchy veggie-filled leftovers. Make double and take it to work for lunchtime yumminess!
