Better Eating by Amber-Marie

Best snack ever esp when eaten by the spoonful

Gotta love a good fried chicken burger. Had my 5+ at lunch time

Geez my mother can cook!
Dinner last night at the Riviera was beautiful.
Perfect Beef Wellington with home made pastry followed by crème brûlée laced with whisky!

Getting quality dairy in the tank today

Wee entree for one

Good day for a cold one !

Dinner bowls filled with goodies, nice change from bowl of chips in Saturday!

Think I'm fading away this lockdown, this should def help! Salted caramel meringue cake from the sweet men at THE TART TIN Thanks to Ben for lovely surprise - you can stay any time!

PB up hill today - think it's that 'Lisa Carrington' hairdo and enery dense carbs! Bravo to all the NZ Olympic 2020 team - been absolutely thrilling to watch!

Old kiwifruit 🥝 from the fruit bowl blends up nicely to make a tangy and refreshing sauce for protein pancakes - great source of fibre and Vit C

Eggplant and chickpea curry on wild rice. Although politely eaten, unlikely to be on menu for next birthday party.

“Eat your dinner if you want Domino's Pizza on Tuesday!!”

Averaging 3/5 on TripAdvisor. Customers want more sausages and hot chips on the menu. ....

Fruit bran muffins for today's smoko - good source of fibre and uses soft apples that nobody wants. Recipe courtesy of Market Kitchen from ODT can be found in comments- I divided recipe by 3 - less to eat! Can substitute with an apple if missing ingredient.... !!

Went all out tonight with this kiwi classic, was real crowd pleaser too. Feeling grateful for a good banger!

How are all the happy campers?
Ive been enjoying cooking simple meals, mixing up flavours and trying not to overload. Very easy to slip into some less favourable eating habits while at home. Try reaching for water rather than the fridge next time mindless eating strikes or run around the house 5 times which lots of fun....!!
Tonight’s offerings - spicy pumpkin soup with mushroom and pesto slice.

Hope you all practising a bit of social distancing from fridge.....

Suggest weekly menu planning and try to limit supermarket visits by utilising dry goods, frozens and canned product etc.

Also try not to eat all the cheese scones- freeze leftovers for rainy day or just half recipe!

Love this easy brownie for quick nutritious fix before dip. Maybe not as much fun as a “surfers brownie” recipe but good for those long week days.....!!

Enjoying eating these crumbed baked eggplant slices 🍆 . Sure beats chicken nuggets .....

Super Bowl munchies for these healthy lads....

Im thinking the wholemeal flour makes this tan slice a little bit more nutritious......

Bored with coleslaw these holidays, try this little cabbage number using grated Parmesan and roasted walnuts, nice with a honey & wholegrain mustard dressing too

Big dirty black bean/ beetroot burgers for the carnivores for tea tonight !

Here's a bit guidance for those of you who may have had too much of the good life over the holidays and keen pull it in. Unfortunately you will find no magic answers here, be info you already know but may not be practising every day.

Suggest choosing a couple of behaviours to work on for year ahead and remember be realistic, dont bite off more than you can chew...!!!
