Foodie Friday - Baked Cod in a Tomato & Basil sauce, with Roasted Red Peppers & Sweet Potato Mash !!!

Hey everyone its Friday yay !!!! 

Sometimes I feel I spend my whole week waiting for the weekend to come, wishing my life away, then the weekends gone before you know it, but for today I'm super happy its Friday.

Friday is one of the days I like to go to the gym so I'm always looking for an easy to make meal that takes little effort, but is bursting full of flavour and delicious.

Today's Foodie Friday post is my baked cod in a tomato and basil sauce, with roasted red peppers and sweet potato mash. 

The first thing I have to point out is we don't always have time to make everything from scratch so the cod is an easy pre made frozen fillet, however the roasted red peppers and sweet potato mash is all home made. 

This is a perfect after gym meal as its healthy and full of flavour, plus feels like your having something with more calories. This is a nice comforting meal perfect on a cold evening too.

I hope this gives you all a little inspiration, but also to remember its ok sometimes to use a quick fix to make a healthy and delicious meal.

Hope you all enjoy,

New Feature: Foodie Friday's

Hey everyone,

Today sees the launch of a new feature on the Genuine Beer Blog. This new feature is called Foodie Friday's. Every Friday I will put up a post on here that relates to fab food. This may be in the form of something I have made in the week, a favourite recipe that I have found, introducing my favourite food blog that week, it can literally be anything food related that has caught my eye.

This is going to be my way of sharing not only great beer but also great food too. This year I decided that it was time to make a real difference in my life and it was time to get in shape. This has meant no naughty foods, including takeaways and other treats, which I thought was going to be harder than it has been. This has given me a real lease for life again and introduced me to the healthy lifestyle I have needed for sometime now. I have also been attending the gym to help shift the weight but the main thing is the new love for good food.

Today's Foodie Friday post is one of the meals that I enjoyed this week, a silky, moreish bowl of Carrot and Roasted Butternut squash soup, made from scratch. This is a really delicious soup, bursting with flavour and vitamins, perfect for anyone on a diet, looking to loose weight, or just as a general lunch time meal.

So far I have lost just over a stone in weight in two weeks and I'm really starting to feel the benefits,

I'm really starting to enjoy eating great food again and this is my way of sharing my experiences with you.

Hope you all enjoy, a new beer review coming soon :D
