EAT YOUR CITY 

MIX N MATCH SALAD

NOTE: THIS ISN'T A FOOD BLOG! But I really fucking love food, so there will be alot of food-like things here.

The best thing about green leafy veggies is that you can eat as much of them as you want and weight gain is basically impossible so you don't have to go shopping for new pants (if you're anything like me, & loath shopping then this is a plus).
Be careful though & get some carbs in there (more depending on the intensity & quantity of training you're doing) heaps of proteins, fruit or whatever else in there because losing weight means buying new pants too.
So anyway, MIX N MATCH YAY:


LAYER 1) GREEN BASE YES

• Leave (mixed dark green lettuce! Kale, Spinach, etc)I guess you can skip this step BUT WHY WOULD YOU BECAUSE IT'S THE BEST ONE

LAYER 2) VEG 

• Roast veggies (chuck sliced eggplant, mushrooms, zucchini, pumpkin, red pepper, etc. into the toasted sandwich maker)
• Leftovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Thinly slice cucumber with a veggie peeler (cover with a little sesame oil + soy sauce for asian salad)
• Fresh celery &/or green bean, corn, tomato
• Lightly steamed broccoli/cauliflower
• Grated carrot/beetroot
• Avocado

LAYER 3) PROTEIN

• Canned (canneloni, black, kidney, etc) beans: Drain, toss in lemon juice, season.
• Bean/snowpea sprouts
• Seeds (Brazil, almonds, pecans, NOT APPLE SEEDS!)
• Legumes: Lentils, peanuts, chickpeas... uhhhhh yes.
• Hard boiled egg?  Fish?  Cheese?  

LAYER 4) HERBZ + FLAVA

• Basil?  Coriander?  Parsley?  Oregano?
• Olives
• Dried fruit
• Lemon juice or vinegar
• Mustard?  Soy?  Chilli? Olive oil? 
• GARLIC GARLIC GARLIC
• Pepper + salt

Also, my sister (a rebel without a cause) just asked me "what if someone doesn't feel like following the rules?"

ANSWER: I am not a dictator & actually don't care what you put in your salad.  Make it however you like.

Breakfast Dessert

As requested, this is my recipe for chocolate breakfast truffles.   

(Breakfast fudge truffles)

1. Soak about a cup of raisins in apple juice over night, put the juice aside.
   
2. Blend a cup or so of rolled oats in a food processor or blender until it turns to oat flour.  Put aside.
   
3. Cram lots of cocoa, vanilla essence, stevia & soaked raisins into your blending apparatis.  Blend.
   
4. So the flour is your binding agent, add as much as you want until it goes to the right consistancy that you can roll it and cover it in shredded coconut.  Put them into the fridge on baking paper until they set.
   
5. Eat them.  Eat every single one.

You could really use any dried fruit (apricot, cranberry, dates), juice, nuts (macadamia nuts), flavours (carob, orange peel, mint essence), etc.  I do find that dates are abit too intense to use with chocolate though.

                                                                 THE END

QUINCE CRUMBLE

This is a brief post as I´m short photos & can´t remember exactly what happened.

When I lived in Melbourne, there was a tree in the backstreets between the sharehouse I lived in on Swan St, & Evolve studio (best Thai kickboxing gym ever).  The tree was covered in fruit.  It looked like this:

(Yes, this.)

I poached it with vanilla & sugar until it turned pink & baked it with a mixture of rolled oats, sugar & coconut butter on top.  It was basically amazing.
