Summer eating

Well the sun has finally made an attempt to show his face in Scotland over the past few days, and although he's been largely unsuccessful, the temperature and humidity is right up! As a result I've been feeling like eating lighter, more salad-y food, despite my exercise spike.


For example today I did 2 classes, 11 hours apart (and improved in some exercises from the first to the 2nd, go me!) and usually this would mean big bowl of pasta time. Instead I came home and made a stir-fry chicken warm salad and it was amazing! I was surprised by how well the herby salad leaves and avocado went with the stir-fry veg and chicken. It's definitely something I want to recreate and my mum wants me too.

Similarly after another day of training earlier in the week I decided to make a greek mezze mini feast. With my brother away meals can be a lot less traditional and lighter, which suits the weather perfectly at the moment.

Clockwise from top right: tabouleh, babaganoush, greek salad and hummus

Even my latest batch of muffins look summery don't you think? I managed to find and adapt a muffin recipe which ticked all my breakfast criteria, details to come late.
