Healthy Weekend Lunch

What better way to say hello to the weekend than with a great stop at the local Healthy food restaurant called GIA right after classes. We ordered A LOT of food which sadly i didn't take pictures of all of it because well....my salivating hungry self just dived right in. 

This place is absolutely yummers, i love their simple menu and the food is pretty delicious if i do say so myself.  

It is a nice cleanse and change from the everyday food we eat, I'm going to try to be a lot more healthy from now on (key word TRY here - so any of my friends reading ... don't judge if i fall off the wagon every now and then hehe)

On the left, ratatouille pastry.

 Greek salad, fresh green apple juice , 2 kinds of quinoa salads

.

Aubergine with yogurt, pine nuts, pomegranate and i think spinach although i'm not quite sure

Something with chicken (not mine because i'm a vegetarian) so excuse me for not having the name of the dsh and freshly made lemonade.

Roasted vegetables quinoa salad.

Other things i didn't take pictures of : 

- Roasted potatoes with a hint of lemon, rosemary leaves and whole garlic cloves (my favorite thing on the menu). 

Not to mention, a great view to enjoy.

Hope you have a lovely, healthy weekend too !!

Obsessed | Tyrrell's - Veg Crisps

Beware: extremely addictive !!

 

So recently I may have been a tad bit obsessed with the Tyrrell's Veg crisps. They are so darn good !! ❤️

 

No joke I eat at least 1 small packet a day. ahhh yum.❤️

(And yes I am munching on them while I am writing this post im not gonna lie :D)

 

The great thing about them that doesn't make me feel guilty when I eat so much of these is that these crisps are:

- Vegan friendly

- Has nothing artificial at all

- Gluten free

All three things are a 'check' off of my list of good stuff to eat.

 

 

The ingredients are literally :

- Parsnips

- carrots

-Beetroots

-sunflower oil

-sea salt

THATS IT !!

 

I wasn't attracted to these crisps in any way since I don't eat parsnips nor beetroots...But astonishingly, I quite liked the flavours ! Maybe its because theyre crunchy and delicious as crisps so not all of the actual flavour of raw veggies are there. I dunno.  

To be quite honest...I prefer the smaller packets because the sea salt seasoning is a lot more intense than this large packet.

 

I most definitely recommend these British hand-cooked snacks.  They hit the spot.

Food Making | Bruschetta

 

Bruschetta is actually more difficult to make than i'd thought it would be..

 

This is now my 3rd time trying to make it because it is my ABSOLUTE favorite thing to eat.  If a restaurant has it on the menu then you can guarantee that i will order it. Yummers !! ❤

 

Both times of me trying to make this and they have failed, never having the juices dripping when you eat them nor the kick you get from the tomatoes (is there a secret sauce or something? I dunno)

 

I'm using a book this time to make it so fingers crossed !

 

But so far its looking pretty good...

I'll update this blog tonight with how the final taste was like.

 

p.s. sorry for the bad picture but it was taken from my phone.

❤

 

Update: yeaaah..... wasn't THAT good/great. Edible yes but not the taste i was looking for. But it did look amazing though it the end so yaay at least that was nice.

 

Clean Body Clean Mind

So today I've been watching the doctors on TV and the episode was all about food that is good for you.  This was extremely convenient for me due to the fact that for the past week I've been trying to eat healthier i.e. Green smoothies and what not (which were kind of a fail, but that's another story).

Anyway I wasn't able to really focus on everything except for the fact that they mentioned 2 books that seemed very interesting and beneficial ...

Going to order them both now and check back with what I think once I get them.

Healthy clean body here I come !!

Hopefully that is...
