Just got back from a morning run and gym session.

Having this right now with a green tea vanilla protein milkshake.

Quinoa salad (wild rockets, etc) + fresh honey cherry tomatoes + yellow capsicum + herbed mustard chicken + halloumi cheese.

DaivaSimone

Love halloumi! Nice plate!

DaivaSimone

YUM !! Recipe please???

Here's the ingredients list:



So, I seasoned the shrimps with Old Bay, Texas Pete hot sauce and oregano and I grilled them in a cast iron pan.

Then, I sautéed all the thinly sliced veggies (broccoli stalk were julienned and the rest was finely chopped) in the olive oil and added the cooked pasta. Toss, add the shrimp, taste and adjust seasoning (more Texas Pete!), and you're done.

DaivaSimone

Italian "sub" (olive ciabatta, cooked turkey beast and mortadella, aragula, mozzarella, jarred red bell peppers and a nice sauce made with yogurt, mayonnaise and pesto), veggies and dip.



Raw beef tartare with an italian twist, aragula and 3 seeds sweet potato crackers.



Eggs benedict with a "faux" hollandaise made with greek yogurt. And aragula, of course.

Pumpkin spice crème brûlée, lemony blackberry crème brûlée, and just plain crème brûlée.

And these I do eat... Two Hearts Terrine. I have them with mixed greens salad drizzled with warm olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Two Hearts Terrine is heart of palm wrapped in smoked salmon which is then rolled in a mixture of cream cheese, shrimp, artichoke hearts, shallots, capers, Parmesan cheese, parsley, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and garlic. The whole thing is chilled and then rolled in chopped pistachios and cut into discs as shown on the plate.

I too think I wouldn't fair so well if I attempted these. However, I've always wanted to try to make them. When I do, I hope they turn out as well as you made them.
They probably tasted great too:)

I made Macarons for the first time last night. They didn't all turn out perfect but they tasted pretty good

They would look a lot worse once I got a hold of them.. Nom. Nom Nom They look Devine..

Hi!

Do you happen to have an Asian store in the area? If you do, then maybe you'd like to try looking for a bottle of Thai style sweet chilli sauce. I usually use that after sautéeing garlic and onions.



Otherwise, here's a recipe for the sauce:

PS: It's the garlic that makes it!

Here's the recipe... 1 roll makes 2 servings. I typically cut 4-5 discs out of 1 roll.
