RENEW U

Going for a full on baby roast chicken🍗 ☺
______________________________________
I marinade the chicken over night
There were a lot of juices in the cooking process
Which is good for basting
Once the breast is crispy and brown, cover with foil ( you don't want a burn't breast)
Finish cooking, then remove foil to firm up the skin again

This keeps the chicken really moist especially the breast

Once rested, remove from the oven dish and drain any juices..
You can make a gravy with the juices, but you need to drain off any excess oil and just use the sediment to make a nice chicken gravy 😋 🍽🍗

Silly me picked up the wrong packet of pastry🤷🏽‍♀️👩🏾‍🍳..it should have been Filo..but actually the shortcrust pastry was a hit..☺👏🏽💯

Shortcrust pastry filled with fresh spinach, a salmon fillet, king prawns in a white sauce.
Cooked for 30 mins..
Leave to cool down for 10 mins before slicing..
I might actually make this again for Christmas 🎄..it was so nice👌
I also found the biggest asparagus in ..served with advocado and hollandaise sauce.
Seriously folks the 5 x pkt of salmon from is quality..selling for £8..
Snap them up for sure👍
@ London, United Kingdom

Still on that low carb tip❌🥘🍲🌮🍕🍟
Plus the 🍵 seems to be helping with them sugar cravings..
A Monday mini roast of:
Roast parsnips
Roast peppers 🌶🌶
Roast beetroot🫐
Steamed rainbow trout with king prawns🐟🦐🦐🌈
Resisting them soon to be winter dinners..🤣🤪🙏

When theirs something you haven't eaten in ages that you really fancy..
No not the burger..no not the prawns..
It was the baked potato..I don't normally buy spuds, but I was really in the mood for one..maybe it's the turn of autumn 🍂
Got it out of ny system and it was yummy..
Minus❌ the butter & cheese🧈🧀
Low fat yoghurt with chopped chives and a pinch of salt
Accompanied with a medley of warm vegetables
A chorizo burger..topped with king prawns. Naughty but so nice😋👌 🍔🍖🦐🦐

Some nights I struggle to decide what to eat..🤔❓🥘🍲
But I knew just what I fancied today.
Rainbow trout 🐟cooked in the oven with:

spring onions 🌱
a pinch of salt🧂
Pepper🧂
Dill🌿🌿
Accompanied with:
Butternut squash mash🥔
Crisp spring green beans🥒
Oven baked plum tomatoes 🍅🍅
with baby garlic cloves🧄

Did you know that garlic's flavour dramatically changes the longer you cook it, the flavour gets more mellower and creamy.. so less garlic breath..
Really nice flavour combinations..😋

Summers really holding on for dear life..it's like mother nature knows its been a tough year..
"Just one more day", she's saying..lol 🤣
So were definitely not ready for any heavy warming meals..
Vegetable ratatouille in a tomato 🍅 sauce with a tblspn of coconut cream..took it to a whole new level..yummy😋
Roast smokey paprika chicken wings with fresh parsley.

The Thai King Prawns won the day..🦐🥇
Not always cheep, 🙁but if you pop into , you can get 3 pkts for £10.. bargain

When your in the mood for two types of cooking 😆💁🏽‍♀️

Mild chicken curry
Thia style Vegetable prawns
Accompanied with:
sweet Thai spelt ( first time trying this.. not bad, just jugged it up with a bit more seasoning..😬)
My favourite was the prawns..would actually also make a good thia soup..super tasty.

Steamed Rainbow trout🐟
Roast tomatoes & mini peppers 🍅🌶
Spinach 🥬
Broccoli 🥦
The last of many of my favourite veggies for me...uh no brussel sprouts this Christmas 🎄..looks like I need to find some new favourites..
Alas no more cauliflower pizza..🤷🏽‍♀️🍕❌
Never mind, I'll find some new ideas..always one for a challenge..however limited..well maybe I can try seaweed 🤣🤣🤣🌿🌿

One of my favourite foods in the world us Indian cuisine..
For me the flavours our out of this world..
I'm not brave enough to go mega hot🔥 🔥..
but it's all about the amazing spices, and aromas..mmh delicious
Tonight I made:
Chicken Korma..I used diced thigh pieces( i find the breast to dry, thigh is definitely more succulent)
Serve with:
Steamed spinach with a pinch of nutmeg & a knib of butter🧈
Whole grains which you can buy ready made in .
Accompanied with poppadoms..also from Lidl

It wasn't until after I took this picture, that I realised it looks like the shape of the heart..😆
And that's what it's all about..trying to eat well and look after our hearts and our health..
As life slowly unfolds back to "normal" ..it's so important more then ever to do so..
