More I see those numbers going up more I'm motivated.
Kind of. Until I have to cook.
I have just come to the stage when I have no idea what to cook and how to cook and what to buy and don't feel like planning and thinking and buying.
Sometimes I wish I could get the vegetables and then think what and where and how (like I did this Sunday - thanks Melinda!).
So, this morning I was struggling with what to cook for the breakfast.
Finally I gave in and made my buckwheat porridge, although I KNOW I shouldn't do that every day.
Well, I hope I won't have to do it every day.
Maybe I should ALREADY start thinking what to cook.
Oh, boy...
Ok, here it goes.
My lunch:
A few days a go I made the soup with nice tender veal. So, I still have some soup, but I took the meat out and cut it in small, small pieces
(there was approx 200gr meat before cooking).
2 onions slice in rings and fry on a spoon of oil
add 1ts mustard seeds and 1/2ts coriander seeds, keep on stirring
2 cloves of garlic, chopped (super tiny, or simply crush it)
keep on stirring
1ts of creamed coconut (for the taste), keep on stirring for another minute;
add meat and 2dl water, a spoon of paprika paste and cover to simmer.
I have left it to cook for good 15 minutes.
Then, I took 2 celery sticks and cut it in thin pieces, and 200gr green beans, salt and pepper. Also I added a bit of dried chopped coconut (bought it at the nut bar shop), for the taste.
Covered it and let it cook (I didn't want to have completely squashy green beans. They're nice and crunchy, just the way I like them).
Just before turning off the heat, I chopped another 3 cloves of galic and mixed it through the dish.
Before serving I cut celery leaves and chives and sprinkeld them on the top.
Serve with millet.
The meal has a slightly curry-ish taste.
I like it.
Dinner and lunch, the same! Of course. :D
Ha, yesterday I made the cake.
Before I start talking about that, I must say that my level of sugar tolerance has been lowered.
I can't take too sweet food any more! I find it way to sweet and not too delicious.
Of course, there is a possibility that stevia doesn't suit me, although I still use it; mostly when baking cakes, to sweeten up the batter.
As soon as I find the real name and the site where I've found the recipe, I'll post it.
In the mean time here is my version:
Pre-preparation:
I crushed 4 bananas and grated two apples, and mixed them together. In the fruit mixture, I have added 1ts baking soda (soda bicarbonate).
In 2dl hot water I added 50gr creamed coconut paste, and stirred well until it all diluted and became nice and creamy.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
Preparation
I mixed 2 eggs until nice and fluffy.
Added pinch of stevia, continued mixing.
Added fruit and continued mixing.
Added coconut cream, and continued mixing.
In the end I added 2 glasses (4dl) almond flour, and continued mixing for another 3 minutes.
I oiled the loaf mould and put some coconut flour to prevent bread sticking to the mould.
Poured it in, levelled the batter.
To the oven for 60 minutes.
It was still soft yesterday, but today it seems to be quite fine.
I took a piece to work, for a dessert.
Anyway, hopefully I'll post the link to the site tomorrow.
