CEREAL POEM

CEREAL POEM

(to all cereal addicts, enjoy)

In the morning

I quit snoring

I keep believing

I keep dreaming

 

You are the first thought on my mind

Your view makes me blind

You look so pretty

Your crunchy texture make me crazy

 

Oh cereal

You’re some hot material

Let’s get physical

Let’s make a miracle

 

Pour the milk

Tastes like silk

Then we’ll spoon

Until noon

 

It’s time for lunch

I’ll miss your crunch

Just hold on

See you at dawn

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TOMATO & BASIL CHICKEN

Yum! I have to say that combining these three foods makes a really balanced meal. (protein, grains and vegetables)

Ingredients:

• sun-dried tomato pesto chicken
• brown rice
• bok choy
• zucchini
• purple cabbage
• onions
• cilantro
• mozzarella cheese
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper
• random spices (chilli, basil, italian herbs, garlic..)

…I’m writing this and I’m still hungry. But I just ate. Damn it.

I drizzled the olive oil on the vegetables and sprinkled some spices on top. Then, I cooked the vegetables in the oven at 350 for about 30-40 minutes.

I cooked the brown rice in a rice cooker.(Great investment by the way, I was always burning my rice.)

For the chicken, I cooked it in a pan with some olive oil and I added the pesto when it was fully cooked. I threw some spices in and ta-da!

FUN WITH SALAD

Eating salad can be boring sometimes. The truth is that there are soooo many combinations that you can try!

First of all, I have to mention that grocery store dressing’s (in my opinion) all taste similar and they are expensive. HOMEMADE DRESSINGS ARE A HUNDRED TIMES BETTER!

My personal recipe for the dressing is:

• Olive oil
• balsamic vinegar (or any type of vinegar is fine)
• dijon mustard
• honey or maple syrup
• salt
• pepper

TRY IT YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE (In case you don’t have a date for valentine’s day)

Now for the salad (the important part).You will need:

• Any type of salad (spinach, kale, lettuce, aragula, boston..)
• Veggies or fruit(tomato, cucumber, peppers, celery, avocado, brocoli, mushroom, cabbage, beets, squash, apple, clementines,)
• Protein (egg, chicken, beans, turkey, beef, nuts, tofu, cheese)
• Other fancy foods (cilantro, basil, chia seeds, olives, dried tomatoes, croutons, grains)

And for the final, add some tasty homemade dressing!

SALMON TARTAR

I said it indeed. Salmon tartar.

And i’ll say it again. Salmon tartar.

I couldn’t even describe how delicious it was. It’s a hundred times better than a restaurant bought tartar.

ingredients:

• Fresh salmon
• chives
• smoked salmon
• capers
• caviar (fancy isn’t it?)
• spices(such as: salt, pepper, thym, garlic, basil)

Make some homemade croutons and you are good to go!

You can really customize it at your own taste. By the way, valentines day is coming, I’m talking to guys out there: It’s a majooooor plus if a guy knows how to cook.
