Light meals

Here are a few of ideas of a quick and light lunch/ meal (and no need to add healthy and delicious). Now it is no surprise I'm an avocado lover, so you are warned that most (if not all) of these meals include it. I truly think that it changes the taste of what you eat, makes it way so much better, tastier, plus avocado is rich in omega-3 and good for the skin (alright I will spare you the list, only because there's no need to explain something that is healthy and nutritious right). Here you go:

Wrap with tuna, avocado and tomato

Avocado and egg on toast, with salad

Mac and cheese, mix with chopped avocado

Sushi, alright this is a cheat, but they are so yummy ;)

Avocado sandwich with ham and tomato

Seriously, this is the best sandwich ever. I mean so much goodness in those lovely avocados and tomatoes. Great food. When I think of those fast food, nothing can definitely beat home made dishes. They are fresher, healthier and cheaper options.

 

 

Tomato tuna salad

Alright, back with something healthier. I have been baking quite a lot recently. Not that much but still much more than I would have normally. I trust that I am really improving in the kitchen. I have been watching all these cooking shows lately. Not only the competition ones but the 'real' cooking shows. The latter is much better because it really shows you how to cook. There are a lot of tips. So useful and resourceful.
Anyway today I am showing a rather simple tomato tuna salad. All you need is to chop some tomatoes and onion, mix together, add pepper and salt and then stir in tuna. Eat with soft taco.Serve with some corn kernels and lettuce. Delicious and complete. Yes?

 

 

Tomato tarts

These are so easy to make. I kind of really appreciate those puff and shortcut pastry. They definitely make like easier. Basically for these tarts, you use one puff pastry quartered. Brush with olive oil. I would reckon to put them in a preheated oven for about 5 minutes. Take it out and place tomato, cheese and herbs on top. Put back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until puffy. Don't they amazing?

 

Pasta bolognese

Alright I know we are having a lot of pasta lately but it's alright. Pasta bolognese is one of the simplest and yummiest dish ever. I always add carrots and mushroom (button/canned) with my sauce, way to turn it into a healthier option. Carrot is in fact. one of the sweetest vegetable. So adding it to this sauce gives it a sweet flavour which goes well altogether.

I kind of mixed everything, instead of putting the sauce on top, resulting in a melange-tout.

Guacamole

Okay like I mentioned, avocado is my revelation of last year. This fruit (I actually just google whether it is a fruit or veggie haha) just taste amazingly good and is so rich in goodness. It is good for your skin, health, blood circulation. Well see for yourself ;) So like I was saying this is a gorgeous fruit.

Now the dish that I like the most is guacamole. I mean this is just perfect. It's so healthy. It is one of the most healthy meal ever. It's creamy, delicious, I could go on like that actually. More praise for this dish hehe.

My guacamole is simple, so avocado, tomato, and lemon juice. Well if you have a lil more time, add a clove of crushed garlic. Some of the recipe I saw ask to add salt and pepper- I think it's not necessary as the flavours are already amazing and in my opinion it will just affect the taste. I'm not a great salt lover anyway- I try to avoid them the most if possible. Well, this is simply a perfect dip or meal to eat like that.

The other day, I did not have tomato with me, but cherry tomatoes. Oh my goodness, it was way better than normal tomatoes; the sweetness that came from the mix was a delight to the mouth. I want more!

This one is the first time I made it:

Burger with ham, lettuce and carrots

Another easy dish that I made myself the other day. It's so simple to prepare, healthy and delicious.

I just mixed some shredded lettuce with grated carrots and diced ham. You can mixed in butter if you want. I prefer to go without. It's refreshing. Don't you feel good after eating healthy. I do ;)

The other day I had tomato in my burger. Tomato is another veggie that I like a lot. It has that sweet side that I appreciate a lot. Tomato are healthy as well, they are good to eat during hot weather as it soothes your body. They contain lycopene which is the red pigment which fight against cancer.
