Hmmm, I have managed to let my life get REALLY out of balance over the last few months. I started a project at work that became all-consuming and involved a bit of travel, and combined with the long-awaited trip to Fiji and a sprained foot, all the healthy eating and exercise (and blogging) went out the window. It was a real lesson to me in how good habits can very easily be broken - after eight months of being so good it was extremely easy to become rather bad. I knew I'd hit a new low when I ordered pizza for dinner on Sunday night, then proceeded to have leftover pizza for breakfast (!!!), lunch and dinner the next day.
So when work ended today I logged onto Heidi Swanson's fantastic
101 Cookbooks website and found myself a light wholefoods recipe that I could easily make after work. Broccoli has to be one of the best foods to eat when you feel like you've been bad to your body, and her
Broccoli Crunch was sooo just what I was after. I made myself a single serve, and served it with the crunchy shallots, but I don't think they're totally necessary, just a decadent addition if you're in the mood. I also didn't have almond butter but used almond/cashew/brazil nut spread instead and I'm sure in a pinch you could use peanut butter!
