Breakfast was a delicious Lemon Ricotta Omelette with Baby Spinach.
Skinny Bride Mission Recipe: LEMON RICOTTA OMELETTE: whisk 1 organic egg with 3 egg whites, 1 tsp preserved lemon chopped and 1/4 cup full-fat ricotta cheese. Melt 1/2 Tbs butter in a frypan over low heat and pour in egg mixture. Toss on a hand full of organic baby spinach and sprinkle with cayenne pepper and salt. Add 1/2 Tbs more butter in pieces as it cooks. Fold in half and serve.
I probably overdid it on the butter, but it was delicious.
LUNCH
We're cleaning the apartment today. It's a nightmare. I just spent 3 hours scrubbing the oven and cooktop. Uugggghh.
It's funny, but when I'm physically active on the weekends I don't get hungry. It's 3pm and I only just ate lunch.
I've nearly hit 20g of carbs already, (minus fiber) and Dave and I have our farewell dinner tonight at a Venezuelan place. I'm gonna have to be really careful with my eating.
AFTERNOON SNACK
3 slices of Applegate Farms Organic Roasted Turkey Breast ....
They say cheese contains bucketloads more PEA than chocolate (the feel-good falling-in-love endorphin). It hits you harder in chocolate though, because PEA needs carbs to increase it's intensity. Chocolate comes pre-packaged with sugar alongside the PEA. Cheese does not. (But a toasted cheese sandwich will send you into love-vibe land quicker than you can imagine. It's just not as romantic a notion as chocolate).
I reckon I can detect a little PEA in plain cheese. It makes me feel all homely and good.
DINNER
7 of us shared a mix of appetizers. I ate a few forkfuls of the Chicken with Avocado, the Slow-Cooked Beef in Tomato and the Tomato Chicken. I also had literally 3 Black Beans.
The meat was sooooo tasty. It's amazing how palatable fat is.
