Day 9 -today´s diet regime " I must eat pizza"

Hallo,
Guys today was the worst day of all since the diet started in terms of craving. It´s that period when a woman just has to eat whatever she craves and today it was the Authentic Italian Pizza. Mine has to have Mozzarella Cheese, with air dried ham, basil and tomato... I thought of you all, my newly found bloggville family, how you have supported me. I also thought of how far I have come. So, I decided to once again resist. l told myself no and I DID IT!

Instead, when I came home, l made an omelet. With, guess what? My favorite pizza ingredients Mozzarella Cheese, air dried ham, basil and tomato...It was just as good as a pizza, try it too.

Base for omelet For 2
3-4 eggs
1/2 a cup milk
1 cup of grated cheese
Crushed garlic
butter to fry in
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. Melt butter and wait until it´s reasonably hot but not too hot. Pourover the egg mixture. Let it cook at low heat. Sprinkle some cheese over the eggs...At this stage, you can now add and combine which ever ingredients you find appealing, tuna fish, onions. shrimps, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms etc. The choice is yours... Sprinkle more cheese over and leave on the heat until the cheese has melted. Serve with a good salad.

So next time you get a pizza crave and you can eat something healthier as an Omelet version of your favorite Pizza.
Enjoy!

Lunch:Italian omelet

Sharing my favorite recipe...

Hi guys, just want say thanks for the love and support. I feel so motivated to do this even more now, THANK YOU.
How was the weekend? Mine was fine just filled with lots of temptations though. You know everywhere I went people seemed to offer me Carbohydrates, unbelievable. Take this, was invited for a crayfish party! What is served? Potatoes, baguette, wine, crisps, sauces made with flour, you name it was all there. I actually surprised myself in a way, because I managed to remain discreet about my non-carbohydrate /-alcohol status. It all went well, no mistakes reported from my part.
I got a cold, so not much activity after that, was indoors the rest of the weekend, and too bad, no exercise either. That was not so good.

Anyway, for today I want to share with you a very fancy and absolutely delicious dish of mine. You guys will love it, I know for sure.
Stuffed Paprika/Peppers Mexican way
The ingredients
500g minced meat
2-3 eggs depending in size( beaten)
3 Carrots
2 cups of maize
3 Small onions
4 Cloves of Garlic
1 cup grated Cheese
1 cup of chopped tomatoes
2-3 tsp Chili powder
4 tbsp cooking oil
Salt and pepper to taste
If you have and would like, add Mexican spice you know taco mix (optional though)

NB: For those not doing the diet you can add, 1 cup of boiled rice.

Method

I: Set the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Peel and chop the onions, garlic and add to the minced meat. Peel and grate the carrots and add to the meat at the same time as you add the maize corn and cheese. Mix thoroughly. The rest of the ingredients tomatoes, chili , eggs, cooking oil, salt and pepper add them together. Then mix this to the minced meat mixture. I added some cashew nuts.


II: Prepare the peppers as in the the picture. Cut the tops clean the inside that is remove the seeds and rinse them in preparation for stuffing.


Stuff the peppers with minced meat mixture.
As always with this recipe its not all of the mixture that will fit into the peppers. With that I usually just make big meat balls with them. Sprinkle some cheese over the food.
Grill in the preheated oven for 30 minutes and this is what you get.

Just from the oven


And on the plate

I served with tomato salsa and peas hmmm delicious.
Today´s menu
Breakfast: Tea and scrambled eggs and a banana
Lunch: Fish with crab & shrimp sauce served with salad
Snack: Peanuts and tea

No training today. I have a cold.

Bye guys, let´s talk some more tomorrow.

Day 3 starting to feel lighter already

Hi everyone,

Today I thought of sharing with you one of my favorite recipes that I am going to eat tonight for dinner and it´s GI suited. It is a Cauliflower Gratin very tasty, great substitute for potatoes...This is is enough for 4 portions.

1 Big Cauliflower

2 tsb margarine

1 big potato cooked and mashed
200ml of vegetable broth or water from cooking the cauliflower
1 egg yolk
200 ml cream
1 cup cheese grated
Grated nutmeg, salt, peppar

Cook the cauliflower in lightly salted water until they are very soft. Drain and keep the water. Fry the mashed potatoes in margarine and add the vegetable broth or the water together with the cream. Mix off heat until it´s a smooth then on the heat to get a thick constancy. Add half of the cheese and egg yellow while steering, add salt and peeper to taste. Put the cauliflower in a Pyrex form and pour over the sauce over the vegetables. Sprinkle cheese over the sauce. Put the form in a very hot oven until the gratin gets a golden brown color. Serve with wine poached Fish... and vegetables like peas for example. You can can add carrots and onion , garlic , broccoli and mushrooms to the recipe to add more flavor . You can also use milk instead of cream as long as you cook the sauce longer for that rich thick sauce.....Try this dish, it is so delicious, both money and time saver.

Back to today´s menu this is what I at

For breakfast: I had Tea with milk and yoghurt
For Lunch I had left overs from last night the minced meat omelet...




Have a nice day....Give me feedback.
