Seaweed Super Salad

Friday! Yippee. I have missed my smoothies recently as I haven’t made one for ages so for breakfast I whizzed up a frozen banana, frozen raspberries, yogurt and almond milk.

Every Friday when I work from home, I hope to be able to sit and eat lunch with Lara and Harvey and have not yet managed it. I didn’t manage it today either. Isn’t that ridiculous? I suppose I can’t moan too much as I had a 2 hour lunch break yesterday but I really wanted to eat with them today. Unfortunately, it was a lunch eaten as I worked, again. Lara made a fantastic salad which she kindly brought in to me.

Seaweed Super Food Salad

Arame seaweed, soaked for 15 minutes
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Carrots
Avocado
Sweetcorn
Feta cheese
Crispy bacon

It was delicious. Thank you Lara.

I made supper. Harvey gathered some vegetables from the garden – guess who likes carrots but not green leaves?

I used 3 shallots that I harvested from the garden 2 weeks ago. These are lovely.

I fried the shallots with some Wild Boar mince I found in the freezer, and the chopped up carrots, beans and some mushrooms. When it had all browned slightly, I had a little clear out of the fridge and poured on 3 half eaten jars of tomato based pasta sauces and some corn. I left it all to simmer for about 20 minutes while I cooked some pasta – I used up the end of 3 different packets of pasta. I do love a clear out.

Very tasty, washed down with a red wine. Have a good weekend 🙂

About Lose Weight and Gain Health

Hi! My name is Zoe and I live in Hastings, East Sussex, with my son Harvey and dog, Milton. I have been fighting the fat for years but this time I am serious. I want to lose weight and gain health. This blog is about how I am changing my lifestyle so I can lose weight but not by just "being on a diet" but by making small changes to our lives so that as I lose weight, I gain health. I want my family to be healthy too and never have to struggle with their weight like I have. In common with many large people, I have gained and lost weight many times over the years. This time, I want to lose it and maintain a healthy low weight. I am interested in eating food that is nutrient dense and delicious and that appeals to children and adults. I do not eat animal products so follow a vegan diet. I try to use locally produced food supplemented with what I can grow myself. I support and try to use local farmers markets and farm shops. Another objective is to add more exercise to our days. It sounds so simple when I write it down :-)
