The last few
weeks have been madness both personally and work wise.
This week my
big event at work took place in a fancy hotel and that has taken up most of my
week.
I did manage
to get out for 2 lunch time runs but due to a head cold there was no swimming
for me this week.
This weekend
I am working on Saturday which I am worried will make me shattered as I am
planning my first long Sunday run with the running club on Sunday.
My race
number came for the 7 mile run I have entered on the 10th
November. I have never done that
distance so feel excited and nervous.
I have made
some lovely winter soups this week that I have really enjoyed including,
Chicken and potato broth and Red Butternut Squash.
The Chicken
Broth (or as I called it a bowl of goodness!)
This recipe
is for two people so use the amount of veg you want
200g of
potato 1 chicken breast
1.5 pints of chicken stock
Swede
1 carrot
1 onion
1 leek
40g of white rice (optional and I only have done this once and not 100% sure I like it)
Chop all veg
into very small pieces and put in a pan with the hot vegetable stock and rice
(if using). Bring to the boil and let
simmer for 30 mins or until rice is cooked and veg is soft. Add the chicken breast and poach with the lid
on the pan for 15 mins or until chicken is fully cooked. Take out the chicken breast and shred with
two forks. Add back to the pan and
ensure fully hot before dishing out. I
sometimes make the vegetable soup the day before and then add the chicken at
the end. It is a really tasty lunch and
tastes really nourishing.
I made the
butternut squash soup with purple carrots and that was very interesting colour.
