At Last

Stopped blogging because 1. My brother took the camera, 2. My 32 days were recently over and 3. No one reads so what's the point really :p

Anyway, I guess my next blog would be just recipes and no diet or anything of the sort :p
Aaand.. here we go again

Chocolate-Zucchini Snack Cake 15/28

Don't let the title fool ya! Just like there's carrot cake, there's zucchini cake and trust me, it's awesome!
First time I made this cake it flew off the table; i got back home after a long day looking forward to just indulge in this cake's goodness, there wasn't a piece left! So I made another, the same day :)
It's filled with heavenly chocolate.. now that I'm writing about it I feel like going and slicing me a piece!

Spanish Shrimp with Garlic Sauce 12/28

This was an ultimate favorite meal! I adoooore shrimps no matter how they are presented, however, this dish.. was exquisite.

One thing about me is that I sometimes don't go by the book, and tend to play with the ingredients the way i want and almost every time it works out for the best ;)

This dish basically contains stir-fry bell peppers and onions, garlic and olive oil, shrimp with paprika and black pepper. The bell peppers and onions are the first to be plated, then the shrimps cook in the garlic-infused oil along with paprika and black pepper (I used both sweet and hot paprika) where they cook into a perfect color. I decided to reuse the flavorful pan to heat the already cooked brown rice; smoked perfectly!

Chicken Avocado Sandwich 11/28

This is a great meal. Although the ingredients might seem simple, but when they all come together they make it a great sandwich.
Well basically, there's avocado, chicken, lettuce, salsa and i add a bit of mustard. For the starch I used a flour tortilla which came perfect with these ingredients.

All you have to do is just cook the tortillas for one minute and then slice the avocados, and top them with the chicken, lettuce, salsa and mustard (there's cilantro but I decided not to use it); and there you have it!

Got nothing for this day.. Breakfast was a piece of scone with a cup of milk, Lunch was Penne Pesto with Artichokes and I kind of feel guilty that I didn't have dinner this day. I slept at like 7pm since I pulled an all-nighter the day before, and i skipped dinner. Ah well, less calories :p
