Today I decided to throw together a tasty quick alternative a chicken chow mein dish (I love Chinese Food). The meal was quick to prepare and only used two pans to cook.


This sauce prepared is similar to Blue Dragon's Teriyaki Sauce sachet, only without all of the extra preservatives and additives. The ingredients below was enough to serve three people, the main variable being the packets of Ready To Wok Noodles - I used one pack per person.

Ingredients:
70g spinach 
Cherry tomatoes
Quorn Chicken Style Pieces
1 diced onion
Morrison's ready to wok thick noodles (one pouch per person)

I love to prep my meals with as little fuss as possible and with the least amount of pots and pans I can. Using a few sprays of the Frylight Olive Oil Spray to line the pan, waiting until hot.
I started by dicing a onion into small pieces and softening these in the pan.
 I chopped a handful of cherry tomatoes and added these to the pan.
Adding the Quorn Style Chicken Pieces into the pan, along with 70g Spinach.
Once all of the ingredients are cooked, adding the ready to wok noodles and ensuring they are heated well. 

For the sauce:
In a separate small pan, add 50ml of light soy sauce.
50ml pineapple juice, one teaspoon of  Very Lazy Chopped Garlic.
Add one teaspoon of Cider vinegar and two tablespoons of honey. 
Once you have all of the sauce ingredients in the pan, you should bring it to the boil and then turn down to simmer for around 4/5 minutes. At this point you may wish to taste test the sauce, and if it isn't quite sweet enough for you, another spoon of honey may be added.

You may now add the sauce to the noodle mix, give it a good stir - Now it's ready to serve!

This meal is a nutritious mix of ingredients; using lots of leaves and healthy ingredients.
I used a portion for my meal preps to include in my gym regime, perfect cold or reheated.





Enjoy!

On a little evening in Turkey...

As every day I would drink my favourite mock tail consisting of pineapple juice, apple juice and blue curaçao - I'd go a bit hyper from them all but it's all part of the holiday spirit right?!


... Ignore my hanger loops on the dress.. Pre-going out haha





We had a walk down to the jetty, and we found the most picturesque place to take a couple of photos.
Wearing the perfect dress to stay cool in the sweltering weather, a floaty floral number from Newlook ❤️

The dress almost has a Spanish vibe to it, decorated with a garden's worth of flowers. Featuring a plunge neckline, lined with a frill sweeping around the shoulders giving it a bardot style but with the support of the small shoulder straps.
I'm not a fan of dresses that are too short or too long, so because this dress has the high low hem it encapsulates a style that is a little more unique ad wearable for me.

Dress - New Look
Sandals - Primark

Hi!

I decided to create a soup which would include a range of nutrients that I could use within my meal preps for a couple of days.


Ingredients:
- 1 Butternut Squash or a pumpkin
- 6 Carrots
- 250ml Almond Milk
- 3 Large Mushrooms
- 1 Sweet Potato
- 1 Tsp Lazy Garlic / 1 Garlic Clove
- Sprinkle of Sage
- Sprinkle of Thyme
- Sesame Seeds

Nutritional Information.
Gathered using the 'My Fitness Pal' App
Based on serving 6 portions.
96 Cal.
0.1g saturated fat
0.6g polyunsaturated
3.9g Fiber
1.9g Protein


I try to make my meals as simple as possible, I threw in a butternut squash, 4 large carrots and a sweet potato into a pan together to boil for about 20-25 minutes, taking one large carrot out after 8 minutes and leaving the rest to boil.


Slice the single carrot into about 6mm pieces and then using a shaper to make small flowers. I left these out of the water and put the offcuts back into the water.

Using a 1 cal spray on a frying pan, gently cooking 3 large diced mushrooms, removing from heat when done.

After 20-25 minutes, scooping the Center from the butternut squash and the sweet potato, blending until smooth. Adding the boiled carrots and again, blending until smooth.


Once smooth, returning the mix to an empty pan on a low heat. As a healthier option to cream, I used 250ml Almond milk, added a dash of crushed garlic, a pinch of thyme and sage. 
Adding the diced mushrooms and stir for 5 minutes.

Scoop serving into a bowl, dressing with the flowered carrots and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

A quaint little soup, perfectly loaded with vital nutrients such as complex vitamin B which are essential for a healthy nervous system.  Plenty of protein, vitamin E & A. Vitamin A plays an important role in the growth of all body tissues including the skin and hair. 

This soup can be used as a healthy lunch option which can also be used to aid weight loss. Either way it’s a creamy blend with a delicate hint of sweetness that feels like maybe it’s a a sin... but it’s soooo good for you *shhhh*😉

I hope you enjoy this beautiful soup as much as I did!
