This week has been a funny week. I'm beginning to work out what foods sit well with me and what foods absolutely hate me! There's a few I am realising. It's all about trial and error at the moment.
Thanks to
Jenn for hosting. It's one of my favourite blogger link-ups, and I enjoy reading everyone else's posts too.
Here goes:
I don't have much to share this week as I've had some of the same foods you see more than once or similar meals, and so I don't want to bore you with replicas.

Small banana with the best tasting strawberries I've had in a while + a dollop of Nutella. |
I can't stop going on about these strawberries this week. They were so naturally sweet. I may have to go buy more. My friend who doesn't like strawberries admitted they looked good. I know she hates strawberries! I couldn't believe it when she told me, she says its the texture of the outside more than anything. Strawberries remind me of being at my nan's house as a child, having a bowl with sugar (like they needed sweetening!) and a tonne of whip cream.

Bran Flakes w/ chopped nuts and semi-skim milk. |
The other day I went shopping and I was looking for a cold cereal. Does everyone know what I mean by that or am I alone on a ship? Basically I put cereal into two categories; cold and hot. Cold being I have them with cold milk and hot being the opposite. I think I've been saying it like that as far back as I can remember. Anyways, I was shopping and saw this women buying bran flakes. Actually, she was struggling to get them down so I helped and it inspired me to go back to one of my favourite cereals. Much love for Bran Flakes. I love them with many toppings!

Southern Fried Chicken w/ Wholewheat Pasta and Salad. |
I love chicken, especially flavoured or spiced chicken. I realise it's not the healthiest but I fancied it last week and so got a four pack to freeze and eat when I craved thinking they'd last ages. :-( I have one left. Utter fail!
But they were so damn tasty.
|
Coffee! |
I've recently fell back in love with hot coffee. For ages I'd only drink Iced Lattes from Costa, but lately I have converted back. But I don't know if I am ready to commit because when I was drinking it last week I was getting headaches. Too much caffeine! But so tasty.
|
Snack before class: Cheese, cucumber and tomato toasty. |
When I have a busy day of classes these tosties are perfect to have on the go.
|
Toast w/ margarine and boiled eggs. |
Last week I kept differing between savoury breakfast options and sweet options depending on what took my fancy. Adding some form of protein to my breakfast definitely keeps me fuller for longer.
|
Pear, small Banana w/ Nutella. |
I've been loving my fruit plates on afternoons this week. The pears have been especially good.
|
Curry w/ Rice and Veg. |
It may be a strange combo but I love having veggies with my curries. My mom would probably give me a dirty look and look at me like a weird child, but I love it. This particular frozen, convenient meal wasn't that good and I won't be having it again.
|
Pasta and Bolognese w/ Cheese, Mushrooms, Red Onion and Veg (Cauli and Brocc). |
I had this for lunch/dinner last night. Another frozen meal but with all my healthy extras it was so filling. Me and my best friend got back from swimming ( I am so out of shape, hadn't been in years! but will definitely be going back for more) and we were ravished, but I patiently waited and hardly grazed on anything other than a tomato and some cheese. I know random right?
Happy Wednesday :D I'm going to try and get even more veggies into my diet this week!
Your food looks healthy AND yummy! I just 'discovered' your blog but I'll definitely be following it from now on! Happy WIAW! Peg x
ReplyDeleteThank you Peg :D Yes, photographing my food definitely makes me feel more accountable. I love WIAW, it's such a great blogger link-up. Enjoy your week!
DeleteI totally know what you mean by "hot" vs "cold" cereal. Have people misunderstood you before? I think of hot cereal as porridge or oatmeal, and cold cereal as frosted flakes or cheerios!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. Some nutella loving going on in this post :) We have only bought it once, I believe two years ago. Went through it like *that* and then never again. Haha :)
I've never really heard many people say it, so I didn't want to appear crazy or anything :D
DeleteI know what you mean about Nutella. I used to avoid it growing up, and I'd never tried it until Christmas when we went to a German market (I live a sheltered life), and they hadn't got my usual so I had to have nutella on my waffles. Now I'm an addict. But if it's not nutella, it's crunchy PB - so I can't really win! Enjoy your week.
