Day 26, simple low carb stir fry

Hello dear readers. I hope this brief blog suffices today. Feeling just a bit under the weather. On a plus, at least it has kept the eating down today :)

Today was a Tweed City trip. My teen looked for work, hubby, bubby and I went shopping. Hubby is a week and a half away from his first solo exhibition, so the pressure is on, and there isn't much time for luxury shopping trips. It was all business. The same for me. A growing bubby means things need replenishing often. At this stage, I'm trying not to be sad breastfeeding didn't work, especially as we now go through 3 tins a fortnight. Not cheap! But, she is so worth it, and a healthy bubby is what we have, and really, that is all that matters.

Dinner tonight was simple. Honestly, I made myself make and eat it. I haven't really had the stomach for food today. Here is a simple, low carb stir fry. 



In minimal oil and butter, stir fry (medium heat) broccoli, onion, garlic, tomato, celery and a little red capsicum. Fridge left overs really.


No need to add water, as the carb free fettuccine has plenty (carb free pasta is found in a packet in the health food aisle). Add a whole packet and stir. Add some soy sauce. Cook til some of the liquid reduces.



Add seasoning of choice. I used my boring basics: curry powder, a little salt and pepper. Mix well, and add cooked meat or protein of choice. I had cooked some beef strips yesterday, so threw them in, heated through thoroughly, then served. 

This stir fry is nutritious, filling and serves 2 generous portions. 

This is how I ate today:

7am: strawberry parfait and a large milky cuppa.
11:30am: small apple and medium serve of almonds.
1:30pm: small cappucino
2:30pm: 1 piece of wholemeal bread.
5pm: serve of the above stir fry.

There you go, a simple blog, but I aim to be consistent. Hopefully, tomorrow will be another theme park day while everyone is on school holidays. Lets see how my eating goes then :) 

Bye for now.
