Saturday morning. Many hours in the kitchen were on today's schedule. My stomach doesn't hurt as much anymore and I'm glad! My body feels lighter, but I've had energy dips during the day. It feels like my body is adjusting to real food after all the Christmas food and sugar intake in abundance.

Breakfast

Fruit salad

Equal parts blueberry, papaya, pineapple

Herb meatballs

Happy weekend breakfast! I like to eat fruit for breakfast. The Herb meatballs made me feel very full and I stayed full for a long time.

Lunch

Lemon and Honey Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

4 chicken fillets

½ piece of onion

Zest from one organic lemon

4-6 tbsp honey

Fresh mint, finely chopped

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Set the oven to 175 degrees. Grease an ovenproof tray with the olive oil. Cut the chicken into small cubes and place in the pan. Finely chop the onion and mint and grate the lemon zest.

Put this on the chicken pieces. Add honey, salt and pepper. Stir well.

Place in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes. Enjoy!

This was super good! I ate the chicken with half an avocado.

Dinner

Pulled beef in the slowcooker

Ingredients

1.5-2 kg steak

2-3 carrots

1 large onion

1 bunch of fresh parsley

3 dl olive oil

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Slice the carrots and place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Season the roast with salt and pepper before placing it on top of the carrots. Finely chop the onion and place around the roast. Scatter parsley over the roast. Pour over the olive oil.

Set the slow cooker to "low heat" and 8 hours. Turn the roast after 4 hours. Remove the roast and place on a cutting board. The roast is done if it falls apart easily when split with a fork.

Pour the remaining contents of the slow cooker into a blender and blend to a smooth sauce. Take about 2 dl of the sauce and mix with the meat. Serve with Roasted cauliflower. Enjoy!

Easy to cook and very tasty! Appreciated by the whole family.

Evening Snacks

Fruit

Day 6 - a day on the slopes

The day started early. All the food was already prepared and breakfast was enjoyed in the car before the first ride. In our pockets we had Herb meatballs, apple pieces and trailmix. When a full day of skiing was over, the Lemon and Honey Roasted Chicken (see recipe above, lunch day 5) and fruit salad was om the menu. A long day with good and plenty of food. Nice to not have to eat some boring hamburger or Mexican food along the way. We saved both time and money and our taste buds didn't get bored. Full and happy we left the mountain until next time.

Breakfast

Cucumber and Avocado Soup

Ingredients

1 litre chicken broth

2 leeks or spring onions

2 avocados

½ cucumber

2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt and pepper

Instructions

Cut the leeks into smaller pieces. Cook the leeks in the stock for about 15 minutes. Leave to cool. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the soup cold. Enjoy!
