From The Kitchen

I thought that I might blog about my diet once in a while to help me make an effort to eat better since I'm usually so busy that I don't feel like spending whatever free time I have cooking and washing up. Which means that I usually go for quick meals that might not be so healthy (such as frozen pies or tin food). I'm starting to get better and really have a love for salads at the moment and those are real quick to prepare.

Normally, people would start with what they had at the beginning of the day, but well, I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast and my lunch does not look very appetising because I took it when I was halfway through. Sorry, better pictures next time. So.....let's start with dinner :)

Dinner

Minced chicken with onions, red capsicum and spinach with Yorkshire pudding covered in mushroom gravy. This was delicious! I will definitely make this again. It doesn't take very long to make and is even faster if you have pre-prepped veggies in the fridge. For the gravy, I cheated and used cream of mushroom soup and then added a little extra seasoning to give it that gravy colour.

Snack

Pink grapefruit yoghurt - This has bit of grapefruit pulp in it and is so refreshing. Prefect during hot weather.

Lunch

Lettuce, tuna and red apple. I would have added some cherry tomatoes, but was pushed for time and normally I use green apples, but I ran out.  This is one of my more lazy, quick salads. If I had more time, and my family were eating as well, I would usually prepare a full chicken Cesar salad with boiled eggs, corn, cucumber, tomatoes and an assortment of leaves such as spinach, purple lettuce and wild rocket. Oh boy, I'm starting to feel hungry :)

Breakfast

Sorry there isn't a photo, but I took a while to post this and I kinda forgot what I had. It was most likely toast with peanut butter or oatmeal :)

I have to say I felt pretty healthy that day. Each meal was filling, but not to the point where you just have to sit a while before doing anything else or feel that you don't have room for a cup of tea or coffee.
