The Food I Eat

I'm not a dietician, a nutritionist, chef, food expert or slimming class leader. I'm just a normal run of the mill woman who has found a way to eat the foods I enjoy without depriving myself of ANYTHING!

I make some swaps from full fat foods to low fat for some things, but I also eat a lot of full fat items. Chocolate, cakes, takeaways, meals out and wine!

I still enjoy what I eat and have learned to moderate my calorie intake and make wise choices.


NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS!

I enjoy 3 healthy filling meals a day with either sweet or savoury snacks. I'm one of those people who enjoy both.


I use the Nutracheck app to track my calories and I use Strava and Apple health and fitness apps to track my activity. But there are other calorie tracking and activity tracking apps out there that are just as good. Some are free, some you have to pay for. It's a matter of personal choice and personal preference.


I'm not going to tell you what you should eat but I am going to give you some meal ideas that are tasty, filling and easy to prepare and that I find yummy!


By the way, the photographs of the meals are taken by me of the actual meal I eat. So what you're seeing, is what I'm eating. It may not look that pretty, but I think it tastes pretty good.

Risotto

Cottage Pie

Cottage Pie

Ingredients

(Serves 1)

4 x sprays vegetable Oil

1/4 TSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil

65g Arborio Rice

1 vegetable Stock Cube made up with 700ml of hot water

28g Asparagus

3g Garlic

40g Smoked Back Bacon (fat trimmed)

50g Mushrooms

20g Spicy Chorizo

40g Lighter Soft Cheese

8g Fresh Parsley

15g Parmesan Cheese

Salt & Pepper to taste


Method

Add the olive oil to a saucepan, tip in the rice and fry for a couple of minutes (don't ask me why. It was in the recipe of the first risotto I ever made!). Add the stock and simmer until rice is soft. About 10 minutes before it is ready, add the asparagus.

Meanwhile, add oil sprays to frying pan, add the garlic, bacon and mushrooms and cook. Add the chorizo and leave on low so it softens and flavours the other ingredients. 

Once everything is cooked, add everything together, adding in the soft cheese, parsley and seasoning to taste.

Serve and sprinkle over a bit more parsley and the parmesan cheese.


A lovely, comforting winter warming  food. ❄️
