I'm back to update
,
I was supposed to post my pics yesterday, but got busy doing other stuff lol. So here are some snaps of what I ate this week plus some other stuff. The food is all Vegan (I hope, I'm still learning
) .
I normally start my day with x2 cups of hot water with a slice of lemon, in my fav mug to detox
. (I added a tea bag of Twinnings Green tea with pineapple, my fav flavour, it was lovely and very refreshing to have in the morning ).
I then go for my morning walk, I love taking pics of flowers in the summer, they are so pretty and put a smile on my face, I love nature
.
Whilst on my walks this week, I bumped into my neighbours cats
I love feeding them with treats I buy for them, their gorgeous and warm my heart
.
Now to the food
...
I made Pak Choi with garlic mushrooms and homemade Vegan Veggie Burgers, the burgers came out lovely. I cooked Quorn mince with lots of spices, garlic and onion and then added pulsed red kidney beans to it, and shaped them into 6 burgers (I was able to freeze the rest ), it came out lovely. I saw a recipe on youtube where they coated the burgers with oat flour (oats which have been blended to make a flour) this gave the burgers a crunchy coating instead of breadcrumbs. The oats were gluten free since I'm following a gf diet. I made the burgers in my actifry using frylight. It's a very healthy meal and very filling
. Will defo make those burgers again sometime in the future, I may have them with gf burger buns instead this time. I used the oats as a hex. Overall this was a syn free meal. Yay !
Yummy lunches in the week. I didn't have burger buns in the house so used my gf bread (hex) to use the Vegan burgers I had made into a sandwich
. Lettuce, avocado, tomato, ketchup, low fat spread, salt and pepper, yummy yummy yummy !
Lettuce boats
. Romaine lettuce leaves filled with Quorn mince and stir fried vegetables. Syn free meal which was very filling .
One of my most favourite meals of the week . Indian Dal Curry with rice, and so easy to make in the slow cooker. I used 1.5 cups of red lentils washed and drained, topped with 2.5-3 cups of water in the slow cooker, add 1-2 veg stock cubes, 1 tbsp. Pataks curry paste (not sauce) 2syns per tbsp., the recipe serves 4 so, 0.5 syns per serving
. Turn on high for 3 hours, or low for 6 hours. Once its cooked garnish with fresh coriander or mint. I made a tomato and onion coriander salad to go with it and served it with plain boiled rice. 0.5 syns for the meal. Delicious !
I'm eating a lot of beans and pulses, this I made today, yellow lentils same as above, using the same recipe, just different coloured lentils
. It come out lovely. I had it by itself like a soup, but you can serve it with rice or naan bread. I need to shop for gf naan breads. Or I may buy gf flour and make them myself, will workout a lot cheaper.
Now looking back at the pics, looks like I eat like a right piggy
,but I promise the bunny does exercise, hehe
