The old school view of healthy eating is one of bland ingredients and overall tastelessness: unsalted lean meat, piles of flavourless peas and carrots and a bowl of lettuce. Of course, nobody actually makes ‘healthy’ meals like that anymore (you can serve up the above dish and have it be completely devoid of nutritional value if you cook it wrong), but there’s still widespread doubt around just how yummy healthy cooking can be.
The days are getting cooler and you need your slippers for your Monday night Game of Thrones sesh. Winter is on its way… I used to hate winter, but that’s because I spent too long in London where winter is less a season and more a state of the nation.
Recently my life got extremely stressful. It all started earlier this year with a promotion at work which, while a welcome new challenge, came with more responsibility and a notably higher degree of stress – which lead to me putting the breaks on blogging. When you have tough days at work, the last thing in the world you can stomach is an evening sitting in front of your laptop.
I post a lot of recipes for sweet treats and healthy snacks, but I haven’t really done anything on what to make for dinner. Dinner is the meal we often most look forward to. It’s a chance to cook without time pressure, as opposed to breakfast when you’re always running late, and it’s often a social cook with your partner or maybe your kids.
I started a new workout yesterday called Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide, a workout plan that was introduced to me by my sister in law while we were visiting the family on our trip. It’s not that I’m unsatisfied with my current workout plan, but every now and then I like to shake things up and find new sources of inspiration.
I have just returned from holiday and I feel like a cross between a stuffed Christmas turkey and a whale who ate all the pies. It’s so bad I had to mix my metaphors. This is a common problem when we go on holiday, as the thrill of newly discovered restaurants and food experiences far outweighs the increasingly faint little voice in our heads telling us to be sensible with what we eat.
I was at the gym yesterday doing a Grid class – have you ever done one? They are the shizzle! They combine high intensity toning and cardio exercises for 20 seconds per exercise in rounds of 6. The first 3 rounds you’re like yeah man, I Am The Terminator.
