The Healthy Chef

Today I have tried something new.
I ate my same old, same old breakfast. I went for a jog. 5 km. It felt like 10 km. I felt so unfit. But I guess if I haven't been keeping up my exercise and doing regular exercise it was going to be tough.
Then because I was so hot, 27'C, I decided to go for a dip in the ocean. I am not one that likes cold water. And the ocean in Denmark, during the summer, only gets to about 20 C. But I did it...and it was refreshing. I went out on a pier, and told myself I am getting in. I just had too. There have been too many times where I don't. It was so nice. So serene. After I got out, I thought I would just sit. Just me and the sound of the waves lapping on the boats. It was like Heaven. So I did sit there for a good half hour. Something that I never usually get to doing. Again some positive ME time.



When I returned home and started thinking about my list of things to do, I called my sister. I was talking about my experince today and how stuck in a rut I am. But how enjoyable it was to do something a little new. I spoke about how the Michelle Bridges recipes are getting boring for me. She listened and gave some great advice and gave me a new website to look at.  Teresa Cutter An Australian chef that is dedicated to delicious and nutritious meals.
So for lunch, I tried something new. Gee it was refreshing.
I didn't have much in the cupboards or fridge ( it was shopping day) but I did have most of what I needed. I made a Quinoa salad.



Recipe:
1/4 cup Quinoa
4 cerry tomatoes
1/4 cucumber
1/5 cup feta cheese
1 egg
1 tsp red pesto
Optional- 1 mountain bread or 1/2 rugklapper
