What are you eating?

Saturday, grilled up some pork steaks that had been marinating in balsamic, olive oil, garlic and salt. Made some yummy rice, with red chili paste, paprika, garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, salt, pepper in it. Then some summer squash seasoned with fennel and cumin. All was good.

 

Redstar yesterday!



It sounds like you have had a proper gourmet weekend!



Im sitting cross legged in the garden sunshine refusing to share popcorn with my sister who has come out to play.

Ive poured over a caramel made with sugar, water and half a chilli, it has real bite. I hope it biodegrades quickly, it got thrown everywhere while we were running about.

My sister is making broadbean and onion burgers with lots of mustard, chilli sauce, tomatoes and lettuce.

 

Plantain fritters are taking over my kitchen! This past week Ive made them with chorizo, polenta, extra chilli, with/ without sugar, different herb combos.

These were sweetcorn and chilli and so tasty I could have eaten each one twice.

You can eat them hot or cold.

 

OMG! Did you cook it all yourself? It sounds proper 'stand up and applaud' delicious.

We definitely need photos shiney!

Extra props for the cachaca too! :D I love me a caipirinha- regular or with fruit.

 

Today- Ive had all my calories in smoothie form- mango, pineapple and banana bulked up with protein whey powder.

Oh and four ice lollies. The sort that come in green or blue and come in liquid form and you stick 'em in the freezer.

Might have something later.

 

Cous cous and roasted veg salad for lunch.

My dinner - meatball marinara sub, with frilled courgettes.

Chilli, basil, courgettes, shallots all from the garden.

 

Not eating at the moment, but if anyone fancies a cappuccino, from my "all singin' and dancin' machine...."

 

Must say that although I am not necessarily a meat eater ... I prefer DH's offering at the moment as the rest sounds quite unpalatable .. but each to their own ... :hehe:

I far prefer lots of fruit and salad in the summertime ... nothing fried like those fritter things ... :flag:

 

I play competitive sport Victoria and train most days. My diet is mostly complex carbs, wholefoods and mucho veg, but I need fats too- mostly plant based unsaturated fats.

At the moment Im rowing and cross training 4-5 times a week- sometimes twice a day- which includes circuit training, cardio and free weights.

I can easily burn 2-3,000cal+ in session. And in the months coming up to serious meets, that can double. I love to eat, but its also fuel.

Try a fritter sometime- they're good for you!

 

Hi Melanie ... I appreciate what you do and eat energy foods .. but I don't think that suits my lifestyle .. I'll have another piece of fruit .... more power to you sweetheart .... :ntwrth:

PS Haven't killed the red Jasmine off yet in the heat ... :yho:

 

Grandaughter's first taste of a real tomato. She loved it!!
