I had a low carb lunch the other day. I had been eating a lot of starchy and sugary things and decided to try to make up for it with this lunch. It was leftover baked chicken with baked zucchini and carrot strips. It was quite filling. The zucchini and carrots are a nice combination if you haven't tried it yet. That is just a saucer by the way, not a dinner-sized plate!
I also baked my own top sirloin roast beef yesterday. I'll use the leftovers for sandwiches instead of buying deli meat as they are loaded with nitrites and sodium. Well, it's a nice change for however long my momentum lasts! I have a good friend who has always fed her family the healthiest food. For example, they will eat salad without any dressing and actually like that. Wouldn't you know it, she has developed a high cholesterol level in middle age (due to family history)! The irony of this story is that you can eat badly and live longer than someone who has tried their best to live a healthy life!
And Marie at The English Kitchen is having a fabulous giveaway of Jamie Oliver's new cookbook, 15 minute meals...I'd love to win that.

I need to really get myself back on track and go on a much LOWER carb diet too. I gained 5 pounds I didn't need while I was on the mainland.
Very healthy. Ooo, I love Jamie Oliver's recipes, and his books. I find his food to be hearty and less fussy. I am a big fan.
you are so right! It´s all heredity! looks very yammi!
I like your painting for PPF! Have a nice weekend!
Thank you for visiting me on my blog!
They look healthy and delicious. Eating right is a responsibility, there are many other contributory factors that will affect our health like pollution and external stress that are not much within our control.
I think I should do the same, we eat relatively health but lately we seem to be slipping up more often, the roast and chicken are good ideas, the deli meats probably are a good idea to stay away from a bit more!So good though and simple!
I love this lunch, sometimes I eat low carb too!
I love Jamie Oliver so much!!
looks good
