I love jacket potato as you can literally put anything on them. I love a certain brand of baked beans with cheese on top. (If they are good enough for our queen consort Camilla, they are good enough for me 😉) My hubby Paulie doesn’t like beans so I had to try something else. Tuna,…

Wild Garlic Pesto Tuna and Butter Bean Salad with Purple Sprouting Broccoli
Yep it’s another wild garlic pesto recipe from me. This time it’s a nice simple healthy salad. The butter beans and tuna work so well with the pesto.

Tuna and Chickpea Salad with an Olive and Caper Dressing
Tuna is a great store cupboard ingredient to knock up a salad, most of the ingredients came out of my cupboard which means it’s great to knock up if you forgot to plan your lunch. The dressing is salty and works well with the tuna. I cut through this with the lemon juice and zest….
Whole Wheat Tuna Pasta Salad with Oregano, Capers and a Lemon Dressing

Healthy Mexican Inspired Tuna Stuffed Avocado Recipe

I loosely followed a recipe but just used the ingredients I had knocking around the cupboard, fridge and freezer. It was actually really tasty and has the classic flavours you usually…
Tuna and Tomato Salad Recipe
This is a very quick recipe and doesn’t require you to make a dressing as the olive oil coats and combines the tuna mixture. I am really enjoying our health kick at the moment and Paulie has lost 1/2 stone already just by cutting right down on carbs, fat and sugar intake! The tomatoes are…
Healthy Tuna, Black Eye Bean, Rocket and Caper Salad dressed with Lemon Olive Oil Recipe
So Paulie and I are being good Monday to Friday with our healthy lunches. To be honest most of the ingredients are store cupboard and can be used again for different recipes.
