Whatever Wednesday 30 May 2013: Favourite Song

This is my favourite song....

It's not really deep and meaningful. In fact it's quite the opposite. It's a song that's fun and carefree and silly and that reminds me not to take life, or myself, too seriously. The video clip fits it perfectly.

Monday 27 May 2013 - A healthy version of: A burger with fries

Made this for dinner the other night and it was fantastic! 

Everybody loves a classic burger and fries...these are some ideas for ways to make it healthier:

1. The Patty: I used a kangaroo mince patty. Kangaroo is a meat known for it's healthiness due to how low in fat it is. If you're not keen for kangaroo than turkey mince, home-made vege patties or even lean mince beef would do to the trick. 

2. The Fillings: Bulk up on fresh salad greens, sliced tomato and onion here. Basically - the more vegetables the better!. If you can live without it - skip the cheese. If you can't live it try a sprinkle of fetta. 

3. The Bun: I chose to go without a bun but if you're choosing a bread enclosure choose wholegrain. 

4. The Fries: I used purple sweet potato (or as us New Zealanders know it - Kumara!) to make my oven baked fries and just a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to bake them. 

5. Condiments: I used an organic free range egg aoili - maybe not the healthiest choice but incredibly yummy. A homemade salsa is a great option to substitute for processed sauces as well.
