me

Ok, I need to start somehow…Of course it's all about diet, or mostly about healthy and calorie less food. I like to share own created recipes, giving ideas for low calorie and mostly vegetarian foods. I am going to post my daily dishes, describing how I made them, how may calories they are and something about the budget.
That blog is a non-official site for everybody who try to change to a healthier, but not distressed lifestyle.
A bit more about me: I am pretty picky on food, I don't really like meat, but I like sweets and like drinking nice beer, ale or wine. I really like all vegetables and always tried to make sure, that my food is as healthy as possible. And I know, my huge enemy are carbohydrates - such an ordinary woman…:)
So compare to all of that I keep an eye on my daily calories and exercises. I am using an application for counting calories (1200\day) and my own rules are: eating fruits till midday - nothing else, not eating any bread, pasta, pizza, etc (all good stuff:)) and avoiding sugar.
So if you still interested, follow my recipes and don't be shy to share yours, or comment on my notes.

Fake risotto

Yesterday I made some kind of risotto for dinner...I call it risotto, but it is slightly different, but as delicious as the original one :)
You can use any of the regular spices for give it the original taste. Let's see my version.


Ingredients, for 2 
250 calories/portion
time: 20 minutes, budget: £3.50

small spoon olive oil
1/2 chopped white onion
1/2 pack of fine trimmed beans
1/2 bunch of asparagus
1/2 pack of babycorn & mangetout
6 cherry tomatoes
1 cup of bulgur wheat
half banana
water
Parmesan on the top
spices as you like it - I used a bit of chili, nutmeg, salt of course, black pepper

Fry the onion on the olive oil, add the chopped vegetables, except tomatoes. Add spices. Heat a bowl of water for the bulgur, you can add the bulgur to the cold water and boil them together. Use 2-3 cups of water and keep an eye on, add more during heating if needed.

If your veg soft enough, add the mashed half banana and the tomatoes.

Add the cooked bulgur to the whole mix in to the pan, and mix together. It should get similar texture to risotto...taste it and add some more spice if needed.

Top it with Parmesan, but not too much. Enjoy your spoon of health!
