Today was a good food day
Ok.... so this wasn't the healthiest pizza that I could have made, but it was delicious...
If I’m going to post food, I’ll post recipes, delicious meals that I’ve had, or food disasters. But as I said in a previous post, nutrition is 80% of whats required to make changes to your body. And the #1 staple food that people should be having for breakfast? Eggs.
Breakfast of Champions: Omelette
If you’re not eating eggs daily while trying to build muscle mass, then you’re playing yourself.
It’s hard to keep eggs interesting when you’re eating them everyday. Sometimes I boil them when I really can’t be bothered, and other days I’ll scramble them just to make them more edible. But when I’m really feeling like feeling my body for a strong workout, I go with an omelette.
This is super simple. I take 3 eggs, chop up a bunch of spinach, mix in diced tomatoes, peppers, shredded cheese and if I have it, ham, whisk it all together and throw it in a frying pan.
I know that compounding this with 4 slices of bacon probably wasn’t the healthiest of options but I’m only human and it was the last 4 pieces in the pack. I need to be well fed to have a good workout and this meal did the trick.
PRO TIP Pre dice the ingredients ahead of time and store them in Tupperware in the fridge. It saves you a bunch of time and makes making omelettes in the morning super easy.
A bit of a lunchtime disaster...
If you live in Canada, you might have heard of Make Good Food. Its a meal delivery service where they ship you a box of fresh produce and recipes with everything already proportioned out. Its fantastic for saving time and being introduced to new foods that you ordinarily wouldn’t make yourself.
Today it was Ground Beef and Mozzarella thin crust pizza but it was a bit of a struggle. The recipe was simple enough, until I had to kneed the dough myself (something which I’ve never really done). And don’t get me started on chopping the onions.. I hate it and I think that it’s obvious why.
Anyways, the meal was going pretty well until I realized that I had placed the pizza onto wax paper which stuck to the bottom of the pizza as it baked. I spent 10 minutes slowly and methodically peeling the wax paper off from the bottom of the pizza… but after all of that, it was pretty delicious. It was a heavier meal than I would have liked to have had but thats what came with our subscription this week. Next week I'll make sure to keep it a little lighter.
Anyways, If you’ve read this far I’d really appreciate it if you upvoted, followed, or left a comment. I want to use steemit as a way to be personally accountable to myself to be more mindful of my health and nutrition, and to also post things that I think may be valuable to the community.
