Bubble and Squeak
We never waste food in our house and this is a great way to use leftover veggies from the Sunday roast. I had made too many carrots, cabbage and broccoli for this hearty breakfast (which was more of a brunch). This is not the least calorific breakfast to have however it is really tasty, filling and also includes 3 of your 10 a day! If you add tomatoes on the side you have upped that to 4!

Cook Time7 minutes
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Mash the cold, cooked veg (cabbage, carrots and broccoli). Add the grated potato and squash into a ball. Flatten this into a pancake shape and add into a hot pan with olive oil.
  2. Whilst this is cooking, crisp up the bacon (I used my air fryer).
  3. Poach or fry the eggs so they don't touch for easy separation.
  4. Turn the bubble and squeak pattie over and cook through on the other side until golden and slightly crispy both sides.
  5. Top with the egg, crisp up the bacon (optional) and garnish with coriander!

]]> This simple recipe was born out of leftovers from the fridge, as so many of mine are.

I fancied something a bit ‘brunchy’ and filling but also something that would not aggravate my IBS symptoms. This meal has loads of nutritional value with the gorgeous super food spinach for vitamins A, B and C and calcium and iron. And the energy giving potatoes will help reduce sugar cravings. This will also help to heal your gut and keep you more regular.

You could easily make a smaller portion of this for breakfast or enjoy it for brunch, lunch or dinner.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!

This salad was so tasty and a little bit naughty... TO get approval from the hubs is prise indeed. Especially when he asked what was for dinner and I said 'salad' the look of pure disappointment on his face was a picture.

So I thought, 'how can I make this more appealing to a hungry husband?' The answer - add crispy bacon and feta to it (see alternatives below).

I must admin that even I was very impressed with the flavours and textures of this simple salad. I don't personally eat dairy very often and only have cheese once in a blue moon as it affects my IBS if I overdo it but this was worth it and no pain or constipation today so I have got away with it this time!

If you are Dairy Free you can swap over the feta for a vegan cheese alternative or leave it out.

If you are vegetarian you could swap out the crispy bacon for crispy onion, or leave it out.
