Friday: Update

Hey Guys! it's been too long I think!


I have been really enjoying my vacations and reading a good amount of books, and I really missed writing blog posts.


On Tuesday was my granddad's birthday and we decided it was going to be a holiday for every member of our family so that we can spend a nice day together. He had been working on an invention of his to make roasted chicken and you know what? it is AMAZING. So we had a pretty nice feast. We sided the dish with a salad and with baked potatoes with Huancaina Sauce. We are somewhat lovers of wine and a glass is never missing.


I took a lot of pictures so that you can watch it. What i like the most of this is that you don't need the use of oils or anything else and it is super healthy. You have to season the chicken first and then just  let it sit for one night and it will make all the meat be impregnated with the taste.


This is what it looks like when you first see it in the grill.

And then we had a beautiful night and sung happy birthday to my "papi" (that's what i call him) and eat cookie cake :) it was so yummy. 

here is a picture of the evening :) 

what a happy Family We are :)


So if you want to spend a nice evening with your family, declare yourselves a little family holiday and do a BBQ and it will make a lot of health benefits for you all. So spend a day out in the back yard and soak in some fresh air and a yummy tasting food right out of the grill. Specially if it's a summer day, which in most of the other hemisphere of the world is, it is going to make you fell much more active and full of life and even happier.


tell me if you enjoy having family time and if so, how to spend it?

B-DAY dinner ideas

Hey Everyone!

As it has been my birthday yesterday, I went with my family out to eat and we went to a buffet. Here it is a lovely place called "Il Forno" where you can eat a variety of pastas and Italian food which is AH-MAZING. I love pastas so that is why i decided to go there. But on Sundays  they also have Peruvian food table where you can choose from whatever you like. My family is crazy about that so i thought "ok it's perfect, everyone can have what they like and eat from everything they choose". 

So i really like that idea to have a birthday and go with family and friends and everyone can choose what they like, so you are happy and they are happy too.

 

So choose a place that have a variety of foods where you can choose from, normally it is better to find one that has an international menu. Find the one that specializes in what you prefer but have into consideration that they also have a good chef for the rest of the food. As it is your birthday, it is going to be almost physically impossible, if going out to a buffet, to keep a healthy eating, but try your best and don't pair pastas with meat because that is going to make you process a lot faster the carbs from the pasta. Or try not eating the garlic bread with that because that adds up the calories you are consuming. 

If you prefer seafood, go for it, eat freshly fished fish (it sounds redundant I know!) and don't chose the fried one, just one that is baked, or smoked or at the grill which is really low on oil because they don't use the amount needed for fried fish. If you like it choose salmon, or shrimps and combine them with vegetables because in that way you will find that the flavour of the fish stands out and is really good. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Tell me where do you like to eat out for your birthday and which is your favourite food!?
