Revision Lunch

First full day of revision for my final university exams!

So far it's going okay. I still have a fair bit to get through, but I'm hoping to have everything gone through at least once by Saturday, and most of it will have actually been gone through twice, so yay!

This is my lunch and it's so super yummy!

Mushrooms, rice noodles, cucumber in miso soup plus cranberry green tea :D

I'm hoping that by eating food that isn't too stodgy and heavy I'll keep my mind focused and to the point.

I'm also going to be looking into foods with high omega fat content. I'm going to invest in some avocados and nuts to snack on, but I'm going to look in to other super healthy foods too. Need things to keep my brain working and my mind clear of crap that isn't revision things.

Lunch time noodles!

The other week, Rob and I went into Newcastle and had the most amazing lunch at this place called Nudo Sushibox. I had the most delicious noodle box! It was quite large, and inside was noodle, vegetable gyoza (funny japanese dumplings - super yummy) and miso soup paste. They then added hot water, microwaved it for a time and that was it!!

Well it gave me an idea, because surely I could do something like that for my own lunch? And I totally can!!

Ingredients
Rice noodles
Mushrooms
Prawns
Miso paste
Hot water

So first I cooked my rice noodles (3 mins in hot water) then I drain, rinse and pop in my lunch pod. Then I slice my mushrooms and put them in and pop some cooked prawns in too. Or you could add in anything! Spring onions, dumplings, mussels, anything really. I shot in an unopened sachet of miso paste and I'm good to go to uni!!
When it comes to lunch, I buy a little thing of hot water, empty my miso sachet, pour over my hot water, and tada! Noodle miso soup :D

They're low calorie, but they totally fill me right up! Very yummy and perfect for cold days :)

Super Calorific Indian Takeway and Under 200 Calorie 'Fry Up'

The other night, me and Rob had an indian take away and it was soooo good. They weren't nearly as bad as I thought they would be, mine was about 750 calories in total.
That was mine. So yummy.
A dopiaza, half a thing of pilau rice, half a thing of chips and half a HUGE naan. It was just what I needed, and I need to look into a really low calorie curry, because I really do love them.

Then I went to the gym today. I forgot my bottle of water though, so I was bloody knackered at the end. Enjoy the sweaty pic of me.

I only spent 10 minutes on the treadmill, then did:

• 10 reps each leg elevated lunges
• 20 of those ab spike things on the exercise ball
• 10 weighted squats (10kg)
• 10 plie squats
• 10 reverse flies (3kg each hand)
• 20 chest press (10kg)

Today for lunch, I wanted something warm, because when I'm revising in the dining room I get really cold! But it's hard to have warm food without toast or something, and I'm trying not to eat too much bread. So I had a 'fry up', except none of it was fried, there was no oil involved and it came to only 196 calories!

2 slices of ham

1 tomato

hand full of mushrooms - quartered

and a poached egg 

Super yummy, nice and filling, and just what I needed to warm up :)

Sausage Casserole

There is already one sausage casserole recipe on here, but this one is slightly different...not very, but a little bit.

Today I had my last exam! I'm at work all day tomorrow then I need to start clearing my flat out as we're moving out this year (so sad), so it hasn't quite hit me yet that I really don't have anything to do anymore. But I wanted something yummy and warm for tea to celebrate :)

I didn't take a photo, but it did look amazing, but very similar to all the other sausage cassroles I've made :)

Ingredients (serves 2)

4 reduced fat sausages

2 carrots

1 onion

Handful of mushrooms

Can of chopped tomatoes

Can of haricot beans - drained

1 garlic clove

Drizzle of olive oil

100mL chicken or veg stock

2 baked potatoes

1. Grill your sausages until sealed, then set aside - do this as you're doing the rest really.

2. With the oil, fry your onion, garlic, mushrooms and carrot until soft, then add them to your casserole dish

3. Add in the tomatoes, beans and stock, and chop up your sausages and add them, too. Season well.

4. Bake for 20 minutes with a lid, then take off the lid and continue baking for 15 minutes.

We served ours with bake potatoes :D
