Very nice and if you do not like feta cheese (like Jace) swap it with philadelphia.

Summer Salad

For my first healthy meal it has to be a salad...yes sounds boring I know but was actually quite tasty...although I shouldn't have put chillies in it bleh....so I will list the ingredients minus the chillies. Also its kept pretty simple because this is all I had in the fridge.

• Carrots (2 - peeled and chopped into cubes)
• A handful of new potatoes (6-8)
• Green Pepper (Half - Cubed)
• Iceburg Lettuce (handful)
• Apple (1- chopped into cubes)
• Raisins (handful)
• olive oil (teaspoon)

Method

1. Boil the new potatoes skin on until ready
2. Add all other ingredients into a bowl and stir

4. Add a tablespoon of mayonaise and salt to taste

This meal was suprisingly tasty for such a simple and quick meal. It was uber healthy and I am actually feeling satisfied (strange for me).

Great for summer nights or even just a side salad. The mixture of fruit and veg made it extra tasty.

Lets get back to it!

Hey everyone!

Apologies for the minimal posts...I know it has been a while!

Guess what though?!?!

I have got a grown up job! My job title is: Media Builder and Forensic Assistant. The job is perfect...it incorporates everything I have learned at uni and allows me to expand my skill set. The people are all really friendly and it is a very relaxed, friendly office atmosphere (always good). If you would like a wee look at where I am working or just want to find out more... here is the website: http://www.r2s.co.uk/

Anyway since that is me all sorted, I get my weekends free to do what I want. This should allow me time to start cooking more!

I have also decided I NEEEEED to get fit... its getting rediculous... but for the past 2 weeks I have managed 3 gym sessions a week! I just need to start controlling my portions and watching what I eat.

There is however a slight hinderance to wanting to do all these new recipes.... Our oven is broken! (sob) So will be aiming to have that fixed by the end of the month. (I hope).

More Life Updates....

I moved in with the wonderful Jace and we are trying to get the house all sorted.

I graduated with a 2.1 in Forensic and Analytical Science (Hons)


P.S ... if anybody has any getting fit tips please let me know!
