WIAW: Because I Finally Remembered!

It feels like forever since I linked up with Jenn for a WIAW post. But I finally remembered to get some candid shots of my eating from yesterday and I thought why not blog it...

This will be a quick post as I am currently sweating my ass off and all I am doing is sitting on my bed. The good weather has hit and I want to make the most of it. Living in England you never know exactly how long this amazing weather will last. It could literally be gone tomorrow!

                                                            Meal One

Snack One

Meal Two

Snack Two and Three

Meal Three

Now the warm weather has finally hit, I find myself reaching for the easy to plate (no slaving over a stove), chilled and fresh meals. Grab and Go is what I have been about recently and it is definitely evident in these photos!

Can't wait to sneak a peek at everyone elses eats...let's go.

My "August" Foodie Highlights

Not sure if our lovely Jenn is in labour yet, or even had her bundle of joy by now. I know she mentioned she was hoping for it in her last post, but I thought I'd carry on with the traditions of WIAW. Hopefully both she and baby are doing well : D Fingers crossed!

As the title suggests, yesterday I was a bad food blogger and forgot to take pics of 'some' of what I ate. I was doing so well (unlike in weeks previous), at the start of the day that was, and then dinner time came around. I was preparing the salad and baking the potatoes, that I was having with the prawn cocktail my mom had brought back from shopping. But I guess my hunger took over because I was just scooping up my last mouthful when BAM, I remembered I hadn't pictured it! #BloggerFail.

So I have photos from yesterday, just not my main evening meal! Instead I am going to show you my favourite meals as of late : D

Porridge, Berries and Nutella.

 Cheesy Chicken Pasta-Bake.

Beef 'Sunday' Roast.

That's my foodie highlights for this month! Do you guys have any faves of the month? Anything that stuck out? Let me know in the comments : D I'd love to hear what you guys have been loving!

It's Wednesday...Again?

So it's that day of the week again, where we get together to share our recent eats. In my case I am going to share my favourite things I've been eating recently. Literally that bank holiday at the beginning of the week as thrown me completely. So it got to tea-time yesterday and I was taking a photo of my meal, because it looked good and then I remembered that tomorrow/today is WIAW. Which is one of my favourite blogger link-ups that I like taking part in, and then I suddenly had to come up with a spin on things. Genuinely forgetting about taking pictures hasn't happened to me in a while.

But I don't know about you, but I either can't stop taking photos of my eats or it becomes a chore and it seems like a hassle suddenly? Lately though I just seem to be more interested in the eating that I entirely forget the photographing part.

I may start doing daily uploads in some form or way of my every mouthful or slurpful. Ok, so slurpful isn't a word but you guys get the idea. I'm hoping to get snappy happy! So stay tuned to my instagram and twitter accounts.

Moving on to my recent "favourite" eats.

 An Old Favourite.

I found these when I was shopping with my mom the other day. And this flavour is amazing : D

Porridge, Berries and Nutella.

Love this combination at the moment. Can't wait for the temperature to lower, this will be even more comforting!

Chicken Jalfrezi.

Although I have had better, this hit the spot when I was craving it Thursday night.

Prawn Cocktail Jacket, with cheese, Salad and salad cream.

This has been a monthly favourite of mine, and I have really been craving prawns lately. I reckon I could probably eat them everyday,

Chopped Mango and (full-fat) Greek Yoghurt.

What can I say? Mango will always be a favourite : D

Loved wearing my colour block shorts yesterday, it was great weather for it!

Is anyone else mango obsessed/crazy? I sure am, I think I mention it every other post ha ha.

Have you re-discovered any old favourites recently?

Thanks to the lovely Jenn for hosting : D

Review: Muller Bio Yoghurt

I am so sceptical when it comes to probiotics. I mean do they really work? Do they make us think they are really working, when really they are not? Are they just a roost to mess with our heads, so people in head office can have a chuckle? Ok maybe I am going to far, but the other day while shopping I came across a brand I hadn't seen before, and decided to give them a whirl. I figured they're a pound for six, why not? So, I picked up both Vanilla and Raspberry. My mom isn't a fan of vanilla tasting things, so I knew she'd appreciate the fruity flavour. 

First of all the taste test. And I have got to say they passed. It's a strong flavour without becoming sickly, which I liked very much.

Sorry about the missing bottles, I totally thought I had already taken photos. Turns out I hadn't!

Secondly, the consistency test. Now when it comes to texture and consistency with food and drink items, you guys know I am a bit of a freak and am sadly one of those people who sometimes likes food based on texture and consistency. For me it is all part of the package.

Thirdly, and this is a big one! I do think it is actually doing something. Or it could be a combination of all the things I have been trying to do and remembering to do. Including taking a tablet pro-biotic I got a while back and have been using on and off for the past few months. 

Who knows all I can say is that it's tasty and I think it could be kind-of helping. I know what a lame review right, but it's the best I have. If you have digestive issues I would definitely give them a go. Maybe for a month? Everyday, or if you aren't in the mood for a yoghurt, maybe try every other day. That's what I am going to try and do. 

But at the moment I am trying new things again and seeing if I can give my diet a positive makeover. It's really over due and so there may be a few more reviews on the blog from here on out :-D

Tuesday Eats "WIAW"

Hey guys, my eats yesterday were very in between. To me personally I achieved the best "balance" I have in days. I even got some veggies in, which I haven't really been getting in since I left Uni. So it will be really nice to get back, if only for that reason, and to get back I can't wait. I feel like since I have been back I have made things, but I haven't really created or "batched" cooked like I do weekly at Uni. And to be honest I have missed that! But it's nearly fall/autumn, which is one of my favourite times of the year to cook because it brings with it hot, comfort food. Hmmm, hmmm, I am licking my lips as I type ha ha.

Yesterday morning I decided I couldn't waste the morning inside and decided to get outside nice and "early" (10:40 am), and go for a walk! It was beautiful and definitely something I have been missing from my routine for the past few months. Sure my cardio on the treadmill is higher intensity, but for me you just can't beat a good walk. And it ended up setting up the rest of the day for me pretty nicely.

You know it's nice outside when you've got your sunnies on :D

Tuesday's Eats.

Breakfast.

Lunch = Leftover half of sandwich from yesterday :D

The Cutest, Smallest Apple ever.

Dinner from a bag.

Has anyone else tried these? They are so easy to have for a fast and simple dinner, and they pack a tonne of flavour!

I added broccoli, sprouts and shredded green beans, topped with cheese. Looks weird but tastes good.

*P.S - There was also an unpictured Iced Soya Latte before dinner, and a cereal bar  and small beer after dinner.

Favourite Random Meals of the Last Week.

Oh and look what I found...

Check out this crisp guys!

Ever tried a meal from a bag?

Who's looking forward to fall/autumn cooking?

Thanks to Jenn for hosting this shindig, if you haven't already be sure to go over and check out her post and everyone else's!

My Favourite Meals Of The Week

So recently I haven't been taking as many photos. It becomes tiring and I'm forgetful! So, I guess I am technically being lazy as I only photographed my favourite meals and they all happened over the weekend.

I am currently sipping on my tea, desperately trying to get caffeine into my bloodstream. I'm trying to not complain though over here, but I am currently running off little sleep that was also interrupted all night. Don't get me wrong I love the heat and the sunshine, but it wasn't affecting me until last night. I have heard people complaining all week long, but last night it got to me. And I couldn't breathe with my hayfever (which gets worse in the heat). Anyways, one of my pet peeves is people complaining about the weather, especially when it's hot and lovely out. That rarely ever happens in the U.K so when it comes we shouldn't complain because it more than likely won't last.

Anyways and on with the food I shall go, before this whole post becomes me babbling on.

BBQ Time

I definitely lingered whilst these were cooking :-D

 This was the best BBQ Bun I've ever created. It had everything. Good Sausages, Mature Cheddar, Cooked Red Onions, Salsa, Jalapeños and Lettuce.

This was my second favourite meal, and an old favourite.

I've been enjoying these on days I can't stomach breakfast!

This was so good enjoyed in the sun after the BBQ Saturday Afternoon.

On Sunday I enjoyed the Men's final of Wimbledon with a Lager and Lime, so refreshing :-D

Happy WIAW :D

What I've Been Able To Eat Wednesday...

Lately, I am trying to be more aware of what I am putting in my mouth and when. I have been trying to clean up and improve my diet. Now I know it's never going to be the perfect diet, but I am aiming for it to be the "perfect" diet for me. As, most of you know I struggle with diagnosed and undiagnosed stomach ailments, and I should really follow up on what my doctor said and go to the hospital to get the camera down my throat. So in light of that I try to eat foods that tend not to cause the most upset to my stomach, but lately I haven't been eating amazingly with white flour creeping its way back in!

But anyways, I am making improvements and hopefully I'll see the results soon.

Here's my photo bomb of pictures. There's extra due to not participating last week.
