Hey Everyone!

It's been a while since I've posted my meal diaries for the day. I have been eating so off that I couldn't find something worth posting, I was just too ashamed of what I ate. So a couple of weeks ago I changed back my routine and I will be posting more meal diaries to a healthy life style.

So, without further ado, my meal diary of the day!

Lunch:

• 1 cup of broccoli 
• 2 slices of white potato

Sunday: Brunch and Pastas

Hey guys! 


Today I had brunch and it actually was more of lunch than anything else. 

They served a pasta with lemon chicken which was so good that i had to get the recipe from the chef, she was kind enough to come and talk to me about the secret of this pasta (the credit goes to my lovely aunt) and therefore I got it and now i can make it at home! i would change some of the things to make it a lot more healthy. 

Here is my version of it: 


Ingredients: 


1) 1/2 kg of whole-grain pasta
2) 2 lemons (green lemon for it to be more sour) 
3) 1 spoon of ground garlic
4) 1 seasoning envelope
5) Salt
6) Pepper
7) Half a chicken breast
8) Milk 
9) Olive oil


Preparation: 


1) Boil the whole-grain pasta with some salt, no oil. 
2) cut the chicken breast, previously remove the skin, in small squares. 
3) Pour just a little of olive oil in a pan, let it heat and then fry the ground garlic to let the flavour become more noticeable. 
4) Add and fry the chicken breast with some salt and pepper and the seasoning envelope together. 
5) Add a cup of milk to the chicken and mix well, if you like it to be a little more consistent just dissolve in a cup with a small amount of water one spoon of flour and then add that to the milk while boiling. 
6) Finally add the juice of the 2 lemons. Don't worry of the mixture starts separating, it is normal, just mix well. 


For the final serving put the pasta in a plate, and spread the just made cream with the chicken. 


I assure you that it is amazing and fills you the right way. 


(i wish i had taken a picture of my plate!) 


hope you enjoy it and if you try it, tell me what your thoughts are!

Friday: Almond Chicken

Hey Everyone! 


I was reading Elle and Blair's Fowler site and found an amazing recipe of Almond chicken that they have found in the Eatingwell.com site. So i decided today was the day i was going to try this recipe and see if it is as good as it sounds and looks like. 


During the weekend I went grocery shopping and bought my almonds, which i really love so i am pretty sure i will enjoy this meal a LOT, and all the other ingredients they said you needed and stashed them for today, it's Friday after all and is the end of the week!. I am going to follow some of the changes they made in Elle and Blair's site because i find them to be healthier options and practical tips. 


Tomorrow I will be posting some pictures and I am going to give my opinion about this. 

I hope you all have a great day and try some new recipes ! If you have one and love it please don't hesitate on sharing it with us in the comments below! and I am sure that i will be trying it and who knows, maybe writing a blog post about it!

Meal Diary: Monday&Tuesday

Hey Everyone!

So I have been eating really good lately and specially i had no idea that i was good at cooking!

Making these meals have made me realize the importance that a perfect balance makes and to know how to mix the things you eat. 

For the past days, Monday and Tuesday, i ate:

Monday:

• Breakfast: a bowl of special K with milk
• Lunch: A chicken filled in with asparagus and Edam cheese. with steamed vegies and just a little ampunt of rice. 
• Dinner: an orange and half a banana 

Tuesday: 

• Breakfast: A bowl of special K with milk (it's my go to breakfast, and it is easy and healthy)
• Lunch: A chicken kind of soup with potatoes and raisins and carrots and a little rice by the side. (here in Peru we have to have rice as our side dish, we are characterized by that.)
• Dinner: A bowl of oatmeal and an orange. 

These are all the things that have gotten into my tummy and i feel really happy about it. It's not too much food and it is well balanced in order not to lack of anything. 

I cooked the first dish on monday, lunch. and i think it was pretty awesome that i can actually cook! this is a big deal! now i can live alone and not starve! hahaha 

such a drama lady. 

I will attach a picture when i download them to my computer. 

So what have you been eating? tell me about it in the comments below :)

Friday: Night meal ideas

Hello everyone!

It's Friday and therefore the end of the week (or the start of the weekend) and I am finally FREE to keep up after some weeks of being super duper busy. It is refreshing that there's no more homework's to hand in, of any of that.

So I was looking to some really yummy ideas of a healthy night meal ideas, and i came across the Food Network and I saw that they had this amazing list of night meals that actually made my mouth water! 

But the recipe that actually caught my eyes (and tummy) the most was this super delicious Chicken Divan with Sherry Dijon Sauce. 

If the simple picture Just looks mouthwatering, imagine how good this might taste?! 

This recipe was actually adapted to be healthy and to have the nutrients and vitamins that you need without stopping to be delicious! 

This dish contains broccoli, Gruyère cheese, milk, olive oil and more. To see the recipe click here and it will give you all the instructions on how to prepare it. 

These are all great meal ideas, not only for dinner, but also for lunch and specially that in some countries summer is now here and people want to be bikini ready and to keep in shape eating healthy. 

As  for a side dish I would totally like some steamed veggies or a fresh salad. 

I hope you liked this meal idea and remember! Drink lots of water during the day! 

I think I am going to go cook this recipe for today's lunch for my parents and me. 

Happy Friday loves!
