Day 27-28

Day 27 and 28 were full of joy, laughter and... chickpeas! We ate chickpeas in three different ways, but we loved them all. I guess I have fulfilled the recommended protein supply for a month in advance!

Day 27

Breakfast: Oatmeal with honey. A toast with butter and green tea.

Midday: Macedonia de fruta (I made it from strawberries, a kiwi, 2 bananas, an apple, a pear and added some freshly squeezed orange juice. I didn't add any sugar).

Lunch: At my parents-in-law! Hummus - delicious! I followed Rula's recipe. Cous-cous - Mamma mia! Concha, please share your wonderful recipe with us - I would love to make it myself! In the meantime, I found the Cous Cous Recipe blog with several recipes - very very tempting!

Dinner: Some bread with Hummus and I couldn't eat anything else - the lunch was amazing and filling!

Day 28

Breakfast: Green tea and 6 small bio biscuits.

Midday: An orange and a banana.

Lunch: I made a fennel stew. Although I am still not sure if I like fennel or not, I had one in the fridge, so I decided to use it. So, I sauteed a big chopped onion with garlic, several celery sticks and a chopped fennel together. Then I put everything in a sauce-pan, added carrots and leaks, water and a little bit of curry. When everything was almost ready, I added the chickpeas that were not used for yesterday's hummus, and voila!

Dinner: Buckwheat Soup. I found one recipe in the Russian Food for Kiwis blog, but mine is a bit different. I added only one small potato instead of three, and chopped some cabbage in the soup. And I didn't put any butter in it. The rest is very similar. Oh, and I didn't use chicken (I am trying not to eat any animal protein. I do eat sea-food and fish though).

As for my face, it's gone a bit worse. I have decided to exclude all dairy and chocolate (which I have been eating, I must admit).
