My day on a plate

Hello :) My favourite part of "Sunday Life" magazine is the end section where a well-known person reveals everything they ate on a particular day, then a nutritionist analyses their diet and sees how they could make improvements. So basically, I thought it would be fun to do something similar today by photographing everything I ate. Of course there's no nutritionist though looking over what I've eaten- and thank goodness, because on the weekends my food habits generally relax...

10:00am. Breakfast! Decided to make an indulgent French toast with maple syrup, cinnamon, strawberries and caramelised bananas :) After eating muesli and tahini/honey on toast during the week it's so nice to take more time creating something super delicious...
12:30pm. A bunch of grapes! Because..."you can't study without food"
2:00pm. Weather was cold and windy so I made a soup with pumpkin, red lentils, leek, carrots and plenty of spices. Topped with greek yoghurt and cheese and had a side of steamed broccoli. Loads of veges!
4:30pm. My mother made rock cakes again! 
7:00pm. Made a mushroom risotto with swiss brown mushrooms, celery and plenty of fresh parsley. I haven't made a risotto in ages and this was delicious and very comforting indeed (especially with butter and parmasen stirred though!) I got the recipe from Jamie Oliver. Anyone want me to post it?

Of course I also drank plenty of water (and tea!) throughout the day but that's a little boring to photograph ;)

What have you been eating today? Do you find your eating habits relax on weekends?

  2. That risotto looks amazing! I'd love to try it sometime, and that french toast you made looks simply divine, a small taste of heaven. Well on weekends I often visit my grnadma for lunch and she makes a delicious assortment of food. For dessert she makes a special chocolate cake which i just can't resist.
