Sorry to hear that

What is kale like in frittata? I've never thought to use it...

 

[becki2009]

It's nice. If you like kale that is. I'm trying to use it a lot more recently as it's so good for you! Kale, broccoli and spinach....super greens!!

 

[sweetierufus]

I really need to try kale. Is it similar to spinach?

Ermmm quite similar. What do you think pip?

 

[OpalLilyEats]

It's like a raggedy type cabbage I think.

It's great boiled (like cabbage), oven roasted with some fry light and salt/herbs to make kale chips/crisps (google it - v. popular in clean eating) and I love it raw mixed in with bulghar wheat and quinoa and other bits and pieces to make a tabbouleh. There's a great recipe on BBC Good Food. xx

I'd say it's a cross between spinach and cabbage - similar taste to spinach but a rougher texture more similar to cabbage... Bloody lovely though! Especially with some gravy!

 

[becki2009]

Great explaining girls! Thanks lol I like a small splash of mint sauce on it too sometimes!

 

[pippalata]

Yes yes yes mint sauce is lovely!!! Xxx

I have taken some before photos to compare each month to hopefully see some progression from running and the gym...! Let's hope I don't lose my phone and someone goes through my pics. It would scare them!

 

[pippalata]

Hahahahaha! I can't wait to see how you progress. I'm excited for you! I'm thinking about taking some measurements this weekend - legs, arms, belly - the lot

 

[becki2009]

Do it. I think our bodies change more than we think as we see ourselves everyday!

I love cabbage especially with gravy on a Sundays dinner mmmmm

I've had such a better morning today! I managed 45 minutes in the gym after my morning shift too. 25 minutes rower,,5 minutes high resistance on the bike,then leg press and toning with Kettlebell . And it was enjoyed!
My mum has offered to pay for 6 one-to-one personal training sessions before Christmas! How can I say no to that!!!

Breakfast- I had yoghurt and blueberries at 6.40 , then before the gym at 9.40 I had frittata and two Linda McCartney sausages.
( is all this food too much in the morning?)

Lunch- leek and potato soup. Fruit and hexb weetabix bar.

Tea- tomato spaghetti with butter beans and salad

 

[OpalLilyEats]

Looks like a green day Bex! Get another weetabix bar in! x

 

[becki2009]

I've just had tuna and pasta whilst my soup was simmering! Oops

 

[pippalata]

Mmm yummy! What have you got in your frittata at the moment?
