Sweet Potato Mash Fish Pie


Sweet Potato Mash Fish Pie - so easy to make & doesn't even take that long!

2 large Sweet Potatoes
25g Butter
A Leek - cut into chunks
Onions
25g Plain Flour
400ml Milk
Chunky meaty boneless fish - Cod, Pollack, Haddock, Salmon or fish pie mix

Preheat your oven to 200°C

Peel & boil your mash potatoes in pan. Once soft mash it. You can add some butter or cheese if you like but I just seasoned with some salt & pepper.

In another pan melt you butter than put add you onion & leek. Cook it until your onion is translucent. 

Add you flour so your veg is coated.

Add the milk, mixing it continuously so you don't get any lumps until you get a nice thick white sauce. Season with salt & pepper.

 Take your pan off the heat & add your fish.

In a casserole dish place your mixture into it & top with the sweet potato mash.

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbling at the edges.

You can use white potato. I changed the recipe for sweet potato as I prefer it & wanted to try something different. It's up to you what fish you choose to use. Any chunky meaty fish will do & most supermarkets/fish mongers do fish pie mixes where they have different chunky bits of fish you can put into a pie. You can also put the left overs into a box & freeze it to eat whenever you don't want to cook.

Healthy Lunch Ideas


I've been meaning to do this post for months. I take pictures of my lunches but just never got round to writing the post for it. I did a post back in March called Post Gym Lunch where I had a toasted New York Bagel Co bagel with smoked salmon, avocado & poached eggs. All these are healthy ideas if you're struggling to make something. They're all really quick to make & don't need hardly any prep for! Don't even involve that much cooking either!

These are just some of the lunch I've been having I do have porridge a lot after the gym. Just normal porridge oats microwaved using semi-skimmed milk. 

1 cup of porridge oats, 1 cup of semi-skimmed milk. Microwave for a minute. Take it out, stir it, back in for another minute. Then put some sultanas in, a banana & some berries if you have any.

I'll even have any left over dinner we have from the night before. It's very varied what I have but I do try to have some sort of protein as you body needs it after a workout to repair your muscles. I need to try & eat more protein as I'm trying to not bulk up but be more muscley. Have some definition & tone up. I'll try to post more photos of the food I eat just to give you some ideas of what to have.
