Yummy Lunches

So I've lost 2.6lb :D which is awesome! And I put it down to trying to be really good with what I'm eating this week. I don't know how many calories are in these things, but I know I've been getting at least 1200 a day.



Wednesday I had this lovely salad, made with fried bacon, a fig, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and avocado. Plus a drizzle of homemade vinaigrette. It was so yummy! And very filling :) Just what I needed to get me through my afternoon of sewing.

Then yesterday I have a mushroom, spinach and cheese omelette, which too was yummy :)

Then last night I had a vegetable dupiaza from the local take away xD. But I weighed myself this morning and like I say, I've lost 2.6lb :D

Shopping Trip!

I went shopping last night after work, and bought lots of healthy yummy things :)

Let's see, we have:

• Half a honeydew
• 3 Peaches
• 3 Figs
• 2 Avocados
• 3 Courgettes
• 1 Red onion
• Packet of mushrooms
• Bag of baby spinach
• Corn on the cob
• Cherry tomatoes
• Greek yogurt
• Canned tomatoes

And what am I going to do with all of this?! Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I need to buy an aubergine, because on Saturday we're having an Aubergine, Tomato bake, which should be yummy. The courgettes I'm having tomorrow for tea as baked courgettes with corn on the cob and salad, which should be nice too. The figs and spinach will be going into salads; fig and roasted sweet potato salad and roasted peach, avocado and spinach salad. The honeydew shall be for breakfasts, with the oranges and nectarines I already have in my fruit bowl.

I'm really excited about these meals this week. The figs and avocado especially! I've never used figs, but I know I like them, so it should be interesting :D

Super Yummy Breakfast Pancakes

Morning! I'm off to work today for 4 hours, and when I work these Saturdays I always want to eat something for breakfast that will stop be being hungry until 2pm when I get home. Today, I think I'm on for a winner!

Cassey Ho, off of Blogilates, has started a new webseries entitled Cheap Clean Eats. I've never tried any of her recipes before, because generally I simply can't get hold of the ingredients she uses what with being in England and all. But this one, with a little substitution, I can do! (If you want to make the actual recipe, which is definitely lower calories, click on the link above).

Honestly, eating this I did not feel like I was eating diet food! I'm so full and it was so yummy! You just have to make them :D

Ingredients
1 Quaker Oats So Simple plain porridge sachet
Dash of cinnamon
1/4 cup semi-skimmed milk
1 egg
1 banana
squidge of honey

Basically, just shot it all in your blender (but only 1/2 the banana) and blend until smooth. Then fry like a pancake. I made one thick one, or you could make a few little ones. Then I chopped up the other half of the banana, folded my pancake in half and drizzled it with a little honey :)
