Whole food recipes

I’d like to start eating/cooking more whole foods.

Does anyone have any realistic, fairly simple recipes?
I like nice filling foods, don’t want to be eating spiralised courgette 🤣.

I recommend the roasting tin books. But realistically most recipes online are made with whole foods. BBC is great resource and they do categories like simple or easy.

I second the roasting tin books. They're great!

As it’s warmer weather I’m chopping up salad veggies into very small pieces and adding them to cous cous with a lemon dressing and feta. Quick and easy, filling and quite addictive for me at the moment.

I bought a piece of beef shin which I have to work out how to cook later but I’m assured it will melt in the mouth so I’m looking forward to that with some roasted veggies

Well I’ll be cooking Osso Bucco with my beef shin on the bone

This is going to sound really simplistic, but you just eat whole foods. It doesn’t have to be a complicated recipe with 20 ingredients.

Last night, we had salmon, noodles, and steamed broccoli. That’s 2 whole unprocessed foods right there. You could have it with potatoes or rice if you didn’t want the noodles. Even better if brown rice or sweet potatoes.

Cold salad veg is an easy win. Tonight we’re having jacket potatoes. The kids will have beans and cheese, but I’ll make a dressed green salad and then put out a platter of chopped raw veg (peppers, carrots, tomatoes) and some pickled fresh beetroot (store bought). We fill up half our plates with salad and veg.

Fruit and raw nuts are also really easy. I have a handful of blueberries nearly every morning with breakfast. So this morning, I had a crumpet with butter, plus a handful of blueberries. Or afternoon snack, if hungry, banana and a handful of almonds.

It’s just sort of having it around and easy to reach for so that you don’t just grab a packet of crisps or whatever.
