Potato And Spinach Omelette Recipe

August 19, 2010 By Kyle Leave a Comment

I created this recipe when trying to think of something simple to create from left over roast vegetables. It’s pretty simple and it tastes awesome.

You don’t need much to make it, just raid the fridge of what ever is left over.

Add the spinach and cheese

Ingredients

  • Left over roast vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots etc)
  • 3 whole eggs
  • Spinach leaves
  • Cheese

Directions

  1. Grab a good quality non stick fry pan
  2. Toss a small amount of roast veggies in the pan and heat. You want a small enough amount that the egg will be able to run in between the veggies.
  3. Break 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk
  4. Turn over the veggies in the pan
  5. [Read more...]

Weekday Vegetarian – Week 3 Wrap Up

August 16, 2010 By Kyle Leave a Comment

This week was the best so far in terms of how I’ve felt and how I’ve managed my meals. Here is a quick run down on the highlights.

Eggs and milk are my friends

I could in no way to Vegan. Being able to add a few eggs or a glass of milk to my meals makes eating a balanced diet so much easier. I really recommend going laco-ovo vegetarian if you are planning on trying the Weekday Vegetarian.

If I could do it over again

Next time around I would probably start out with just a couple days a week. This would also be a great way to try out some recipes before going the full 5 days a week.

Anyway, last week coming up. So far today I’ve had veggie stir fry with chopped up omelette and spinach quiche. I must admit, I have been eating well over the past 3 weeks.

Stay tuned for the final wrap up next week.

Potato And Spinach Pizza Recipe

Potato and Spinach Pizza

Being a weekday veggie causes you to take a look at some new recipes.

I went out for dinner to a pizza place the other week for my brothers birthday. It was during the week, so I had to order a vegetarian dish. I went for a potato and herb based pizza, I’d never had anything like it before so I had them add some mozzarella and parmesan. It was awesome!

Here is my own version of it.

Ingredients

  • Mini wholemeal pita
  • Basil pesto
  • Three cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan)
  • Potato
  • Spinach leaves
  • Herbs

Weekday Vegetarian – Week 2 Summary

August 8, 2010 By Kyle Leave a Comment

This will just be a quick one to let you know how week 2 of my 4 week Weekday Vegetarian trial has been (three ‘week’s in a sentence *facepalm*).

I put on weight

If you remember last week I mentioned that I lost a kilo so I was going to up my calories. Well I put that back on this week and then some (around 1.5 kgs total). This may have been because I seemed to have kept being offered cake this week and I just couldn’t say no. Overall this is not a bad thing as I’m pretty happy with my current weight.

Not tired so much

My energy levels seemed much more stable over the past week despite only having around 5 hours sleep on Thursday night. I have been eating more complex vegetables like rice and potato. I have also been including more omelettes and nuts to bulk up the protein intake.

The balanced energy could also be because I have taken up Eat Stop Eat again, I just feel a lot better with a 24 hour fast these days. Then again I did ESE on Thursday so that would only account for part of the week.

I went against the high GI nonsense and ate more of these

Back to 3 days a week training

I’m currently in week 2 of the Book of Muscle advanced workout. I’ve never done the advanced workout before and I wanted to try out some of the strength techniques. Having 3 set workouts a week also means that during these next few busy months I will continue to weight train at least 3 times a week.

Cross country running. For bad asses only.

This week I’m going to start running, but not on a treadmill, running track or even a footpath. I’m going to tackle the mountain bike trails that wind along the edge of the Yarra River. The reason I’m choosing to go off-road is because I find uneven ground and bushland much more stimulating. You have to pay attention to where you place your feet and the run feels a lot more like an adventure rather then boring exercise to make my heart stronger.

I’m just gonna start off with one run per week. Previously, when I have started a running routines I’ve tried running several times a week and have burnt out too quickly. This time around I just want to enjoy it so I’ll ease into a lot slower.

Until next time, peace!
