Day 19: Egg Fried Rice

Simple one today, was still feeling sick. Just leftover rice, eggs, carrots and corn. I ate maybe half the small bowl, if that. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow!

Day 18: Pound Cake?!

This really is a filler post. I promised to take a picture of my dinner each day, but today I failed, purely because I didn't eat dinner! I was feeling very sick around dinner time and decided eating wasn't the best idea. So I did take a photograph of some pound cake I made the day before, which I had two thin slices of during today :).

Day 17: Kung Pao Chicken

Not much to say on this one, unfortunately wouldn't recommend it, it isn't like the kung pao I'm used to and was less then impressed with the flavour, so no recipe for this one, as it really isn't worth making!

Day 16: Chilli Con Carne

I've made this several times before, and am still working on the perfect recipe for me. I like my chilli con carne very hot and served with rice. Diction likes it mild and served with pasta. So I'm trying to find a happy medium of a medium spiced chilli. I shall share the ingredients, but not the process, as it is very basic, browning the onions and garlic, adding the chilli. Adding the mince and any other veg, beef stock and then all the spices. Cooking down for as long as you can.

Was very yummy, but too hot this time for Lisa, will add less chilli next time, damn!

For two people:

Onion
2 cloves garlic
Red bell pepper
Olive oil
2 tsp chilli powder
1 red chilli pepper
1 heaped tsp cumin
Half tsp cinnamon
Salt and pepper to taste.
Beans - I used baked beans (haricot) but you could use kidney or whatever you fancy.
Creamed tomatoes, decided tomatoes or fresh tomatos, to your taste.
200g minced meat or Quorn
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp paprika
Beef stock
Half small bar of high quality dark chocolate, shaved. Add this right before the end.
Dash worcestershire sauce
1 tsp coriander powder.

Day 15: Pea and Bacon Risotto

Pea and bacon risotto, was inspired when I saw on my facebook state she was making a cheats risotto. After having a look about I decided to make a pea and bacon one, following Jamie Olivers recipe and adding fresh crispy bacon and petit pous.

Unfortunately my pouch reacted to this like it had reacted to pasta, a couple of tablespoons worth and I was well and truly done. Couldn't eat another mouthful, it sucked, but such is life. It as delicious however.
