LATE AFTEROON SNACK – A GREEN GRANNY SMITH APPLE
DINNER – GRILLED HALIBUT WITH GRILLED BROCCOLINI & SWEET POTATO MASH
1 x 40z piece of Halibut
1 medium Sweet Potato
3 x Broccolini Stalks
1 tbsp of Jerk Seasoning (or your favorite seasoning)
I microwave my sweet potato for about 6 minutes (turn it at 1/2 time). While that is happening I rub my seasoning onto my fish and place on the grill. Fish takes about 8-10 minutes to cook on high heat.
Broccolini go on the grile for about 5 minutes.
Once fish is cooked plate alongside broccolini. Grab your sweet potato and mash it until smooth – no need to add any salt or cream or butter – just as is and i suggest a little black pepper.
I hope you love this as much as I do.
Breakfast – Egg white Omelette
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon water
1/4 cup bell peppers
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup Asparagus
1 plum tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons shredded nonfat cheddar cheese
Whisk egg whites, water and pepper together in a bowl until soft peaks form. Toss peppers, tomato, asparagus and cheddar together in a small bowl.
Lightly coat an omelet pan or small skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into pan and cook until eggs begin to set on bottom. Spread filling over half of omelet, leaving a 1/2-inch border and reserving 1 tablespoon mixture for garnish. Lift up omelet at edge nearest handle and fold in half, slightly off-center, so filling peeks out. Cook 2 minutes. Slide omelet onto a serving plate and garnish with reserved filling.
