Menu - Extra Special Sunday Breakfast and Dinner

I do not want to make this blog a daily-menu blog, but I can't help but post today's menu. Why ? Just because I thought it was extra-special, and because I want to make Sunday the menu-day. So let's see what was on my plate today.

Breakfast- Peanut Butter toast, with 4 dates, applesauce, cottage cheese, and tomato beans.


There was no lunch (OH MY GOODNESS ! What was I thinking ?!) for the simple reason that I got up wayyyyy too late, and ended up having breakfast around 11:30. Instead, decided that I would just grad a snack around 3:00PM and last until dinner.

Snack- A juicy and sweet pink lady apple.


Phil and I went outside, this afternoon. It was bright and sunny, and it was a perfect day to take a walk. Warm enough to wear a hoodie instead of a winter coat. It rocked ! Then for dinner, I decided that we could enjoy tacos on lettuce leaves (instead of corn tortillas) with cress, cheese and salsa.

It was the first time I tried tacos made this way, and frankly, I won't go back to greasy and messy corn tortillas. Iceberg lettuce made a crispy, healthy and fresh wrapping, and I could stuff a lot more meat and veggies than regular tacos. What a filling dinner that was ! I had a hard time finishing the second taco. I should have left what was left over in the plate, but I didn't. It was too good ! Thanks goodness, I don't do that every day.

And then for dessert, my No-Cook Vegan Chocolate Pudding with sliced strawberries and bananas. It was DECADENT ! I never realised how much better a homemade pudding was compared to store bought. Plus, my husband loves it. Yes... My veggie-hater of a husband loves veggie burgers and tofu. He's weird, don't ask ! So here's how the plate looked...

So that's it. My kitchen is closed. It's 9:00PM and I'm still stuffed from dinner. I guess I should have eaten a little less :)

Website Review - Kath Eats Real Food

I really want to introduce you to a website I have been visiting regularly since a week. A good friend of mine told me to take a look at it, and I immediately fell in love with it ! It is "Kath Eats Real Food". Yes, it is a food blog, but not just any random food blog. It is about healthy living and healthy food. This couldn't be more convenient, since I am trying to eat healthier and (of course) get done with my weight loss.

KERF - Kath Eats Real Food

I have been browsing her Oatmeal section, drooling over the pictures, because everything looks so delicious ! I just love oatmeal, and I would eat it everyda three times a day, but sometimes, the same old stuff seems to get boring. Well, no more ! Oatmeal with muffin, with pumpkin seeds and puree, with toffee chips, with chocolate chips, NAME THEM !

I have eaten oatmeal for breakfast for the past 3-4 days, and found that they keep me full for a very long time when I make them the way Kath makes them.

First, she always has a spoonful of nut butter. This is very important, that's where you get your healthy fat and proteins. She often add fruit to her oats. Mostly mashed banana, but I've seen pumpkin puree or berries added to some of her recipes. I've even seen spinach and butternut squash ! And then, top with a small quantity of whatever you like. Granola, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, toffee chips, slivered almonds or any other kind of nuts. Your goal here, is to make it look like a treat. And it works ! Your breakfast is more than complete, with the fiber from the oatmeal, the fruits you top it with, and the nut butter you use to get your protein intake.

But oatmeal is not onl what Kath's blog is about. She also has a very nice recipes section, divided by meal type. They all look delicious, plus they are VERY healthy ! I will eventually review a couple of her recipes, when I get more time to get cooking !

In the meantime, feel free to browse through her blog, and try recipes. If you try some of them, why don't you just drop me a line to let me know how you liked it ?
