THANK YOU all for your beautiful comments on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and of course here. I am blown away!!! You guys are awesome!! I should do these photo shoots more often!!!

It was so fun being glammed up by a professional make up artist/hair stylist and photographer yesterday. I was in my element and here's a shot to prove it!!! False eyelashes and all!!!

FAKE: eyelashes, spray tan & make-up GENUINE: smile, grey hairs & of course my new set of canons!!!

Workout

Seriously come follow me at Fit Yummy Mummy and you too will have guns like me :-) ha ha sorry had to make you laugh but seriously I am amazed how my body is shaping up. I can't believe we are already into our 3rd week and have only 7 weeks to go!!! WHOOSH!!!

I have never had my body looking like this in my entire life and I am loving it!!! I still haven't bought my heavier weights so that is still a goal over the next few weeks.

The kids cooked their own lunch today so it was good to see them choose their foods out of the fridge! School holidays officially kick in at the end of this week however I do have Oscar on 3 weeks holidays so it's been fun entertaining the 3 munckins today! Our house is a bomb site!!!

Afternoon snack
My very own "guilt free" caramel popcorn



Method
You're going to love me for this recipe. I even featured on the "clean eating" website The Gracious Pantry


Amazing what a bit of honey and peanut butter can do on some plain popcorn...divine!!!!


Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 8-10 cups popped popcorn

Directions:

  1. Read through the steps first so you know what you to. You’ll need to work quickly.
  2. In a small pot, warm the honey on high heat. Bring it to a boil.
  3. Let it boil up in the pot about 1 inch and then quickly remove from heat.
  4. Stir in nut butter with a whisk and whisk until smooth. Should be “pourable”.
  5. Pour over the popcorn and mix with a spoon. The mixture is hot, so don’t be tempted to mix with your hands. I learned that the hard way (Duh!!).
  6. Let it all sit and cool and ENJOY!!!! Leave me a comment below when you have tried this xx


Dinner
Chicken fajita's (Dani's quick version)




As you all know I did my impromptu photo shoot yesterday so had no time to cook. We grabbed some roasted chickens and the left overs are my dinner creations tonight...

Ingredients
Left over roasted (store bought) chicken
1 onion
1 carrot
1 tin crushed tomatoes
1 pkt of spinach leaves (350g)
6 kalamata olives
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 chilli (omit in childrens serve)
1/2tbs olive oil
Corn Mountain flat bread

Method


Heat olive oil and sauté onions, carrots with herbs, add chicken, followed by spinach. Once spinach wilts, add tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes!! Real quick, simply and super super easy and so tasty!!!








We served ours with yogurt and shredded cheese (all the vegetables were cooked together in the chicken mix!) Simply wrap in flat mountain bread and smash it!!! Everyone loved it!!!

Until next time.....

Xx Dani

  4. Hey Dani, I can't wait to try that popcorn. How do you cook your popcorn? I discovered you can cook popcorn in a brown paper bag in the microwave! Just watch it though, burns quickly. Love Maria xx
