Since its been a while since I've created any new content, I thought I might write today about a meal that I created last night. Those of you who know me, also know that I enjoy cooking quite a bit.

In that respect, I've been on a "healthy cooking" kick of late, and have been rediscovering lots of foods that I enjoy, but in a healthier format. In this case, I combined the taste of balsamic vinegar, chicken, tomatoes and mushrooms with rosemay, basil, oregeno and thyme to create the entree meat. The "mashed potato" stand-in is actually organic cauliflower that has been steamed, then blended into a consistency very similar to that of mashed potatoes. The asparagus was also steamed, then topped with some of the chicken sauce.

In total, the meal comes out to 220C (including a side salad with dressing - not pictured) and I was FULL after eating this.
