Trying to be healthy


I have had quite a foodie few days, so today’s bento is an attempt to be a bit healthier than normal while still packing in some energy-boosting dark green veg. No eggs today, though, as I woke up too late to cook them.

So, today I made:
  • 100g (cooked weight) sushi rice topped with
  • 60g grilled salmon, flaked and sprinkled with sesame seeds
  • Buttered leeks – my trick for making this less fattening than usual is to slice the leeks and put them in a frying pan on a low heat with 2-6 tbsp of water. Once the water has been absorbed and the leeks have softened, I add a tsp of butter (5g) per leek and a bit of salt and pepper. The result is every bit as good as normal buttered leeks, but without the guilt factor.
  • Blanched spinach, no dressing, sprinkled with sesame seeds

  1. Yum! My terrible confession is that we are having spinach for dinner.

    That's not the terrible bit.

    It is with cream and cheese in extravagant proportions in a spaghetti sauce.

    It's knitting tonight. One has to keep one's strength up, n'est pas?
