WIAW: Stepping away from the sugar after Easter!

We had a great Easter break away camping with the family at Corowa which means I also enjoyed good food and wine.  I made ANZAC biscuits, Oat and chocolate slice and Cherry Ripe Slice to take away and my Mum made chocolate dipped Florentines and I indulged in each and every one over the four days. Visits to the lovely wineries around Rutherglen  meant that some good wine and cheese was also enjoyed.

So this WIAW sees me trying to step away from the sugar and eat clean and sugar-free.

Breakfast:  Oats topped with nuts and seeds

Keeping it simple here with oats, skim milk and a home- made mix of almonds, cashews, chia seeds, buckwheat, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.  The mix already had some prunes in it and I didn't bother to pick them out, so a little sugar was had!

Lunch:  Beetroot, feta and lentil salad

It's getting close to soup weather here in Melbourne so I'm enjoying salads while the sun is still peeking through a little.  This salad is made from tinned lentils, pre-cooked beetroot, zucchini, avocado, baby spinach leaves and feta.  The dressing is a little oil from the feta. Ready in 5  minutes and tasty and filling.

Dinner:  Salmon with Kitchen Sink Rice and Quinoa.

                                       

Salmon was on special so I snapped it up and made my version of fried rice.  I used a rice and quinoa blend cooked in the rice cooker and then add any and all veggies from the crisper and season with some soy sauce - full recipe coming soon.  

Snacks:   Grapes, 1/2 MJ's wholemeal crumpet and a couple of cups of green tea in an effort to keep hydrated and keep hunger at bay.

How are you going with chocolate temptation??

Keep smiling
