Well this is my eats for last
Wednesday and I hope you enjoy
For breakfast I made a oats
(surprise surprise) with summer berries and topped with peanut butter. I think I am going to hold back on the peanut
butter for a little while as really try to lose weight.
Lunch was a tasty affair with
my first ever Salad in a jar. The jar
was a little on the small side so I couldn’t get my greens in but very tasty.
I started by putting Balsamic
Vinegar and olive oil in the bottom. I
then added tomatoes, cucumber and various other salads bits and topped it off
with 40g of cooked bulgur wheat. I shock
it up and poured it onto a plate. It was
very tasty and I loved that the tomato and cucumber had soaked up some of the dressing
flavour.
For dinner we had Aubergine
and Chickpea curry and it was so tasty as I cooked it the night before. The flavours really come together when you
leave it a day or two.
Aubergine and Chickpea Curry.
1 Aubergine cut into chunks
1 onion finely chopped
½ tin of drained chickpeas
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
Garlic
Spices of your liking, I used
Cumin, turmeric and garam
masala
Splash of olive oil
Heat olive oil in a pan and
add aubergine and onion and cook until onion is cooked and Aubergine is
browned. Add the garlic and spices cook
for about 2 mins. Meanwhile drain a tin
of tomatoes in a sieve. Add the tomatoes
and chickpeas and cook until on a low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with cooked brown rice or/and a
salad.
For snacks again I had my
last free Graze box. The after eight
mint was my fav, it was so tasty. Not
sure I can justify £3.95 a week on a box but nice for a treat.

Also a girl in my office
bought in some home made cake bites and they are to die for! One of the nicest cake I have ever had. They came coated in white, dark and milk
chocolate. I went for the dark chocolate
and was so please I had it was soooo good.
I set my fitness aims on
Monday and so far I have met the all. I
am at spinning tonight and am really looking forward to it. I am getting more into cycling and wish I had
more time to get out on my bike. I
really enjoyed my 16 mile hilly ride on Saturday and can’t wait to get out
again this weekend. I am hoping to
steadily increase my mileage especially if I am to complete a triathlon next
year.
The Olympics start on Friday
and I am really excited. There is such a
buzz about it here in England especially as Bradley Wiggins won the Tour De
France. I can not wait for the Olympic
cycling to start and it is the first event on Saturday morning.
There are so many events I can't wait to watch and will have to set up a schedule.
What are you most excited about for the Olympics?
I love cake pops! It's a little indulgence that's better than cupcakes because there's a good cake to coating ratio. :)
ReplyDeleteI had never had one before and loved it. Mine was covered in dark chocolate and it tasted so indulgent.
Deletewow thats so cool that they deliver dried fruit in little boxes?? I love that idea!! whenever I buy dried fruit (Dates and figs are my fav!) I go really overboard, and one time I really overdid it and had the worst tummy ache!! I found that I digest dried fruit a lot better when I eat them in the first half of the day, not too close before bedtime, because they really put a strain on our digestive system and rumble the entire night
ReplyDeleteI am the same, i have to eat them in the morning and not too many. The graze boxes are lovely for a treat but the calories can be a little high. Everything i have ever had is always fresh and tasty.
DeleteI'm so making that curry! It sounds incredible! I have tried just about everything in a jar, but not a salad-will definitely put that on my list:)
