2018: A Year In FoodIn 2018, my gym coach assigned me to keep a food blog so he could track my meals. Through developing healthy eating habits to satisfy all of my nutritional needs and a rigorous exercise programme, I lost the 21 kg between January-August 2018 I'd gained on anti-depressants. I wanted it to be somewhere more private rather than being shoved down people's throats (literally) through Instagram/WhatsApp. Hence I've posted my culinary creations here. Being vegetarian and/or vegan always presents a challenge in terms of hitting the protein target so this was particularly the most interesting challenge for me. I made a conscious decision to stop food blogging in 2019 (due to time restraints), but it's useful to have a year's diet documented as a reference and a source of inspiration! |
Tonight I couldn't resist a bit of my guilty pleasure: Spinach and ricotta tortellini pasta 🍝 😋so I blended it with 1 bag of spinach, 1 bunch of spring onions, added 1 box of Quorn mince (protein!) and 1 tin of chopped tomatoes 🍅 boiled it all up together, tipped in 100ml coconut milk to thicken the sauce (you could use any milk), chucked in a load of basil 🌿 and Italian herb seasoning 🇮🇹salt and pepper and served it up with a relish of peppery baby leaf 🍃salad 🥗each 3rd = just 472 calories so just under the 500 mark for a light Wetherspoons 🙂
