How are you after Easter? I must say am in need of diet food. Like really really badly. I will not mention passionfruit curd served on meringue… and some more.

Back on the right track from today. As always I try to eat less carbs,less cheese, no sugar, more veggies and drink a lot more water, definitely less wine. And fuel with good protein. I love love love shrimps and always keep a bag of frozen ones in the freezer. As I rush home hungry and in a need of something really quick I take those out of the freezer, run some hot water over them and let them drain for a few minutes. I chop some veggies in that time and put some rice to boil in the rice cooker. In 15-20 minutes dinner is ready and all family is happy.
