SpiralSayWhaaat?
My new obsession is a spiralizer! I am so excited to have discovered this nifty little device that lets me make ‘pasta’ out of vegetables!!!!
My trainer and friends have been talking about this for ages and I hadn’t got around to getting one – but now I have!
I dont normally like foods pretending to be other foods – like nut meat – what is that?! weird! but in this case there’s something really warming about sitting down to ‘spag bol’ or ‘pasta’ with sauce!
This is my spag bol:
The photos of the finished product aren’t great (I don’t think i’ll make a food photographer anytime soon) but I gotta tell you it was yuuummmyyy and so so quick.
The other night I made another single batch with chorizo, roasted capsicum, pumpkin, and sweet potato with chilli, coconut oil, garlic and basil – it was also sooo good and took me 10 mins start to finish.
Now… I need a machine that will store it so I can do my pre-prepare thing … maybe a device that keeps food cool all the time… I think i’m on to something!
Who are you kidding??!! … Those little lies we tell ourselves
I’ve been awakened to raw food desserts! They are oh so scrummy yummy plus they’re dairy and grain free!
Hazelnut Bomb at Earth to Table – it’s da Bomb!
On the weekend, I took my new housemate to Earth to Table – A vegan Raw cafe in Bondi Junction. I’ve got to be honest I’m not the biggest fan of the main meals in vagan/raw places, they’re really nice they’re just missing meat in my opinion :). The desserts though … Oh. My. God – AAAHHHHMAAAAZING! Anyway, we had some absolutely delicious desserts and I ate waay too much! I told myself it didn’t matter so much because it was a ‘healthy’ pig out.
Passionfruit ‘Cheesecake’ and a lovely pot of tea – great way to spend a rainy afternoon!
Yes they’re made with love from all natural ingredients like nuts, cacao, coconut oil and coconut syrup but that doesn’t necesarilly make them ‘healthy’. Sure, they’re healthier than the alternative (a grain, sugar and dairy filled traditional cake) but they’re still a shite-load of good fats with a side-serve of sugar (even if it is ‘natural’).
It got me thinking…
Isn’t it amazing the little lies we tell ourselves, lies that have no victim except ourselves!
I am getting straight back on my desired nutrition path following my holiday, I deviate a little and instead of moving on I spend time justifying it in my own mind – for what?! I’m not fooling anyone and the only person I could be fooling is myself and what’s the purpose of that?!
Am I crazy? Am I lazy? Am I stupid? … nope I’m just plain human!
This week I’m really watching out for any little fibs I’m trying to slip into my brain … ‘ohhh you’re tired you’re body needs to rest’, ‘ohhhh but this pretty dress is on sale so really you’re saving money’, ‘ohhh there’s time to do it tomorrow’.
Really it’s not a big deal they are small things and one little cake really isn’t going to make that much difference, as long as it doesn’t snowball into lots of little cakes adding up into an entire cake – no matter how delicious it is!
Caramel ‘cheesecake’ is amazing – do I need to point out that these photos aren’t all from Saturday’s trip!
Earth to Table’s Chilli and Shepherd’s – yummo!
