Caught in the act my fat but very graceful cat Bubbles, leaping on to the chair! Lucky to have him in my life!

Start as you mean to go on, a small portion for Lunch.

Ingredients:

Chicken breast diced 150g (protein)
Mixed vegetables including carrots, cabbage and broccoli 100g (roughage)
Mushrooms 3 closed cup mushrooms.
Soy sauce 2ml
Spray of frylight
Chilli flakes (pinch)
Garlic (1 clove mashed)
Red Wine (1 tablespoon)

Method:

Spray pan with frylight,
Prep the chicken breast (I used half a chicken breast diced) I'll use the other half later in the week.
I placed the chicken into a bowl added chilli flakes and black pepper and some soy sauce to season.
Cooking the chicken on a high heat until sealed. Add the mushrooms as they add an umami flavour and melt down pretty quickly, then add the rest of the veg and cover on low heat. To finish add a tablespoon of red wine and let it reduce!

Eat and repeat the next day.

Although it was a small portion I feel full maybe it's because between Breakfast which was an egg white omelet with a sprinkle of chilli and garlic! I wasn't too famished. I've had a snack of two apples and two bottles of water! Maybe it's the Mounjaro taking away my cravings. Ok it's only Day one!

Tomorrow I'm going to soak Chia Seeds(overnight) in warm water and add them to the Greek Yogurt I got today with the blueberries in the fridge that mum turned her nose up at this morning! I will prep the chicken Stir-fry, for tomorrow by marinating the chicken in chilli garlic mustard and soy sauce, in the fridge for a fuller flavour maybe I'll add it to a miso stock to make a filling hot soup!

I'm off for my post lunch walk round the village even though my ankle hurts. Photos to follow.

There's no reason I can't do this as a classically trained chef, I have the skills and the motivation to make and be the change. So I hope others will follow for my recipes etc!

I'm not offering Day Time tours until January 2026, I was misdiagnosed with a leg ulcer when I had Dermatitis, and as a result I have been advised to rest my leg and not to walk for 3-4 months.

Meaning I'm bed-ridden and housebound until December. You can book for the new year I'm hoping I'll be fixed by then, but it's been a horrid 3 years of limping and aching!

Thank you for all your support, if you joined a tour please post a review on Google!

Nice review of the tour, sadly missed 5 stars, due to the bitter cold I had to finish early, as my fingers were frozen.
