ALL ABOUT TODAY: 21 February

This was part of lunch today! If I would have gone after desire I could have eaten this whole plate! Was so good.

BREAKFAST was 2 eggs fried in butter, a few cherry tomatoes, cheese. Coffee and cream. Handful of almonds.

I got up so early this morning by 9 I was on my third cup of coffee for the day.

LUNCH was with friends visiting. I had half an avocado dressed with salt and lemon. Half a cup of pumpkin and then lettuce and feta cheese, sprinkling of sunflower seeds... This salad is absolutely delicious. But remember to measure out the pumpkin. I looked up and found that in half a cup cooked pumpkin there is 3.5 carbs.

I also ate three cocktail sausages too, not the best choice to loose weight.

This pumpkin salad recipe is from the new book of Tim Noakes "The Real Meal Revolution"

-Cube the pumpkin sprinkle with olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander and nutmeg. I switched the nutmeg for cinnamon. Salt and pepper. Stir well.

-Bake in the oven at 180dC until pumpkin is soft and brown.

-Toss rocket leafs in bottom of salad bowl ( I used lettuce chopped, couldnt find any rocket leafs), arrange cooled down pumpkin pieces on rocket, sprinkle cubed goats cheese (I used feta cheese). Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.

-Dressing: Juice of 2 lemons, 1T of made mustard, 150ml olive oil, salt and pepper. I sprinkled chopped green onion over as I didnt use the dark green rocket.
This salad was so worth it!

SUPPER: I am experiencing with some cheaper protein...... I bought some chicken livers, quite cheap here. THEN I bought some chicken gizzards TOO (my husband says if I eat this he is never kissing me again ;D)

I cleaned them and cut them in thin strips. Fried them in butter with garlic, worcestershire sauce and barbeque chicken spicing. Had them on top of a mixed salad of lettuce, cucumber and a drizzle of mayonnaise. Was very tasty.... but my family enjoyed THEIR FOOD instead ;) To be honest I don't think I will buy and make the chicken gizzards again. Although tasty they were terribly chewy.....

But I have a goal to reach this SUMMER...... ;)
