It's really humid today, makes working out an even sweatier task than usual. Anyway I still got to it and worked out this morning and then again tonight while watching tv. Seeing people with the body you want is pretty good motivation to do another 10 minutes on the bike.
Made a really yummy dinner tonight and had my first attempt at using wholemeal flour in making muffins, note to self; don't over bake by even a minute using wholemeal, dry muffins are not the tastiest.
Anyhow, recipes below for both.
Chinese five spice chicken with couscous salad
Marinate 1 skinless chicken breast in 1/2 tsp five spice, 1 tsp oil and 1/4 tsp minced garlic.
Cook chicken in oven till juices run clear then slice and leave to side.
Cook 1/2 cup couscous as per directions. Once fluffed add finely chopped capsicum, carrot and cucumber, a handful of baby spinach leaves and 1 tsp sweet chili sauce. Mix together then add chicken. Then nom on down on it. Serves 2
Wholemeal apple berry muffins
Sift 2 cups wholemeal flour with 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
In a separate bowl mix 1 cup low fat milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup honey.
Mix wet ingredients with dry till just combined.
Gently stir through 3/4 cup mixed berries and 1/4 cup finely chopped apple.
Spoon into muffin tins and bake at 180 degrees till muffins are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Next time I might add some banana for extra moisture and keep a closer eye on the oven!
