Food glorious food! - Soup edition

Different from what I usually post but I feel like a proud parent with the soup I just made for lunch haha! So.Yummy...

I bought a great Tomato & Basil soup from Tesco the other day and thought I would try and make my own version to use up some of the tinned tomato I have lying about and it tastes just as delicious!


Nays Tomato & Basil soup!

Ingredients

• 1 tin of peeled tomatoes (Chopped will do too! or even normal tomatoes boiled down)
• Small amount of chopped ginger (You will notice my measurements are rather vague, I usually just dash & dash as my mum would call it haha!)
• A couple shakes of dried Basil (Fresh is great too)
• Tablespoon of Mango Chutney (Random but WORKS! Adds great flavour)
• Anything to garnish (I used a bit of Rocket)
• Some gorgeous wholemeal crusty bread to dip in

Blend the tinned tomatoes with the basil, ginger, and mango chutney then put in a saucepan on the stove to boil.

Serve in a bowl with the bread on the side and ENJOY!

God Bless

Eureka!!

So this is probably the most obvious post ever haha but something kinda clicked in my head recently....

The reason I ate so much rubbish was because....I was not eating enough!! Sounds a bit backwards but stick with me on this lol...

I eat pretty well especially at the start of the day but I was finding I was losing motivation to eat healthy as the day went on, not just losing motivation but healthy food can be hard to find when you're out and about, here's what a days food would be like........

What my "meals" would look like

Pre Gym
Rice cake
Breakfast
Porridge with honey & cinnamon
Lunch
Rice cake
Whilst out running errands or in the library
Chocolates
sweets
Sandwiches from Greggs
Food when visiting friends houses

etc etc etc lol

This is not good!!

1) If I eat a decent lunch I won't be as hungry when I'm out and will stop me having food on the brain (thinking about food when I'm trying to study is awful loool such a distraction!)

2)  If I take snacks out with me then I wont have to hit the shops and will also save me money.


What my meals are like recently!

Pre gym
Banana
Breakfast
Porridge with cinnamon and honey
Lunch
Chicken strips with 1 boiled egg or omelette
Dinner
Prawns with rice and broccoli or chicken with prawns and broccoli

Much better :D

Dinner Example( Chicken with broccoli, rice and a little sweet & sour sauce (

Lunch example ( Chicken with sweetcorn and a boiled egg)

Okay so it doesn't look tooo appetising but I was hungry and rushed the shots loool! 

Remember failing to plan = preparing to fail!

What do you daily meal plans look like?

God Bless
