Well what a glorious weekend it’s been with the weather in the UK. The sunshine really does make a difference, everyone I came across yesterday seemed to in the best mood.
I was at work so didn’t get to enjoy the sunshine, but I’m hoping that it lasts so I can get my dose of vitamin D.
My workouts have been pretty random this week and have basically just had to make do with the time that I had available:
Monday: Rest, such a lazy day!
Tuesday: HIITs and random strength routine
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: Yoga for runners podcast
Friday: HIIT and strength routine
Saturday: REST and walking
Sunday: Tara Stiles Slim Waist Routine and Ultimate Stretch Routine and a walk in the sunshine.
On Friday I had the day off and managed to meet Alfie on his lunch break for something to eat. We went to a lovely deli that sells lots of gorgeous food stuff such as homemade bread, chocolate, pasta, antipasti, oils and vinegars etc.
For lunch I had a lovely and creamy white bean and Parmesan soup. I’ve never had cheese in my soup before but the Parmesan really gave the soup a lovely flavour.
I also had a Rose Lemonade with my soup, so yummy!
In the afternoon I snacked on one of these Up Raw bars that I have been sent to review.
I will post my thoughts on these soon!
By dinner time I wasn’t very hungry so just had some of the chilli that I had made earlier that day with grated cheese, homemade guac and two fried eggs. It was pretty much like a chilli enchilada but without the tortilla wraps. I love Mexican food, enchiladas being my favourite, but sometimes I can find them a bit too heavy. This deconstructed style of enchilada really hit the spot!
For breakfast yesterday I had a huge bowl of roasted kabocha squash topped with Greek yoghurt and drippy and almond butter. This breakfast never gets old!
It has been a while since I’ve had one of my favourite calprese salads so I made one for lunch yesterday. It contained salad leaves, tomatoes, mozzarella, olives and a green pesto dressing, yum!

For dinner I wanted something quick so cooked a fried egg to top a baked sweet potato, stir fried some broccoli and made some plantain, which a speedy and tasty dinner.
I had a major urge for some chocolate last night so decided to have lots of plain raw chocolate with frozen cherries and organic natural yoghurt. The frozen cherries and yoghurt really helped with my snackiness and I didn’t eat again for the rest of the evening, which I’m prone to do at the weekends.
I’m loving this weekends meals so far! I’ve not long just finished roasting a lemon and herb chicken for dinner tonight and I’m going to make some stock with the caucus.
How have you been enjoying the sunshine this weekend?
What’s the best thing that you have eaten this weekend?
Have you ever tried cheese in your soup?
Ooh I tried that rose lemonade when I was in the UK! I felt so classy while drinking it (; an I’d just made a big batch if chilli an drag been eating it for the past 2 days, so yum! I’ve never tried a cheesy soup, every time I go to make soup I just can’t go past pumpkin! And being in Australia with the heat, soup isn’t something we eat heaps of here!
The lemonade has such an unique flavour, really delicious.
Oh everything loos delicious! You’ve got e craving sweet potato, squash, soup, cherries, chilli and fried egg all at once! Yum yum 🙂
Hahaha! I’m not sure how they would taste all mixed together.
The sunshine looks wonderful 🙂 It makes everything better!
It really does 🙂
Such nutritious and delicious eats 🙂 The best thing I’ve eaten this weekend was a big bowl of cheesy pasta. Mmm…
That sounds so comforting!
My weekend has been fab! Loving your eats, my favourite meal is yet to come, dinner is gonna be pretty awesome!
I hope you enjoyed your dinner!
So glad to see the rest of the world is warming up while its significantly cooling down here. I love combining yoghurt and chocolate too – definitely beats the cravings.
Chocolate and yoghurt is just so satisfying!
I’ve never tried cheesy soup but that picture would be enough to tempt me to… and squash with almond butter is always delicious. A bit boring but probably the best thing I ate this weekend was toasted seedy bread with coconut butter and home-made raspberry jam, delicious 🙂
Love that top pic, the sun coming out makes so much difference!
The sun has been amazing this weekend. Sometimes it’t the simple things that are the best!
Cheese in or with soup is quite normal in Wales – glad you like the combination!
I love your deconstructed enchiladas – winning combination of different flavours! And the weather was fantastic, wasn’t it? I totally agree about everyone being in good moods. It was so lovely to finally have some sun 🙂
It’s funny you mention about cheese in soup, I made a spring veggie soup yesterday and put some grated parmesan in, it was delicious 🙂
It’s great to see the sunshine! Hope it lasts. I spent the weekend at the natural and organic products show in London (thanks to work!) so I spent most of yesterday trying a load of amazing new products so they would all be my favourite weekend foods!
