Veggie Mexican

A nice easy, filling veggie Mexican after my run this evening.

I've finally managed to motivate myself to get back onto the fitness wagon and started counting my calories again today after I weighed in and realised that I have gained 4lbs over the Christmas period. I've also signed up for a half marathon and started running again. Tuesday's run made me feel as though I was broken, today's was much better thankfully. When I got back I grabbed all the veggies out of the fridge and fried them up with a spray of oil, added some quorn pieces too, some cumin, paprika and chilli powder and a tin of chopped tomatoes and let all the flavours simmer away together while I had a shower.

The result was a tasty, easy to cook low calorie dinner (one wrap with veggies is about 200kcals).

Thought I'd try a new recipe for meat-free Monday today. I don't know why I feel the need to make extra effort for Mondays as all my days are meat free but I'm sure I've had curry a few times on a Monday (it's so easy!). So tonight I went for a new recipe from my Quorn Kitchen cookbook. Not too difficult to make and surprisingly tasty, its one I'll be making again and it even looked like it did in the book!

It's quite high in calories per portion though which is the only thing that put me off. The recipe says to put cheese in each of the layers and to be honest I don't think it needs it so will try it without next time, just putting some on the top.
