2018: A Year In FoodIn 2018, my PureGym manager assigned me to keep a food & exercise blog so that he could track my meals. between January-August 2018, through developing healthy eating habits to satisfy all of my nutritional needs and a rigorous exercise programme, I lost the 21 kg that I had gained on anti-depressants. I wanted it to be somewhere more contained rather than being shoved down people's throats (literally) through Instagram / WhatsApp. Hence I have housed my culinary creations here. Being vegetarian and/or vegan always presents a challenge in terms of hitting the protein target. This was particularly the most interesting challenge for me. I made a conscious decision to stop food blogging in 2019 (due to time restraints). However, it is useful to have a year's diet documented as a reference and a source of inspiration! |
Butternut squash and chickpea curry recipe - BBC Food
https://www.bbc.com/food/recipes/squash_curry_09269 Next week’s meals - I omitted the curry leaves! Coconut oil Cumin 2 large onions, finely chopped Garlic, grated Ground turmeric Ground coriander 2 packs of ready-chopped butternut squash and sweet potato cubes 2 packs of coconut cream 2 tins of chopped tomatoes 2 tins of chickpeas, dreained and rinsed 2 packs of green beans, chopped Note: the eggs in the 1st 2 images were from a separate meal. Falafel in a spinach, rochet, watercress and cucumber salad. The cheese and coleslaw are optional and used to give it a bit more of a calorific boost (as it’s quite lightweight) but these can easily be substituted with quorn, tofu, cabbage, cauliflower etc. The wraps are a combination of beetroot (pink) and multigrain (white).
