The Macro Kitchen

Mirror mirror on the wall....

What do you want to ask your mirror?

Who is the fiercest of them all?
Who is the prettiest of them all?
Who is the strongest of them all?
Who is the leanest of them all?
Who is the most muscular of them all?
Who is the fittest of them all?

Which is the attribute you care the most about? Find someone that has what you don't yet possess and instead of envy and degrade what that person has, use it as inspiration, as a role model, heck go and ask to be mentored.

Find someone that already did what you are trying to achieve and be ready to change your ways.

Overcome your own objections and break your self-sabotaging beliefs, someone did it before you, why can't you?

Be inspired by greatness

🍆🥦🥔Pizza my veggie!🥔🍠🍆🙌🏻
Who doesn’t love a quick and easy mid-week dinner idea, so savoury and so satisfying!
Low carb and high protein. All the flavours you love about pizza without the carb load or a messy veggie crusts.
This is more like a guideline than a proper recipe, can be done with all your favourite veggies, think to zucchini, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, potatoes, even a giant onion if that rocks your boat!! ☺️
Here it comes:
1) Take you veggie and cut it into cubes, taking care not to slice all the way to the bottom. Sprinkle it with salt if it needs to lose some water (e.g. eggplant and maybe zucchini). Don’t forget to preheat your oven at 180C.
2) In the meanwhile cook up your favourite Bolognese sauce any sauce for what matters, use your choice of mince 🍖🍗🥓, mix of species and tomato sauce, you can even make it with scramble tofu 😯, don’t forget to season with salt and adjust the acidity of the tomato sauce with a little pinch of sugar/sweetener, then let your sauce reduce and give time to all the flavours to get to know each other.
3) While you take care of your sauce stick your veggie in the oven and let it cook until half way done.
4) Take it out and top it with your sauce and stick it back in the oven.
5) When cooked through take it out and top it with your favourite cheese.
6) Place your veggie under the broiler for a couple of minutes, until the cheese has melted and started to become nice and golden brown.
Enjoy your veggie with all the savoury flavours and satisfaction of a pizza!
➡️Suggestion:⬅️
If you really are in a hurry, roughly dice your veggies and sauté them, then top them with your sauce and just before plating, top them with your cheese and cover your pan with a lid until the cheese is melted and your kitchen smells like heaven!
😌 If you cook up a big pot of sauce during your Sunday meal prep, this dinner will come together in no time at all!!! Plus your sauce will only get better with time as all the flavours will develop even more!

🙌🏻🙌🏻The weekend it’s approaching 🙌🏻🙌🏻and if you are anything like me, you are already looking for some easy time/cleaning saving ideas for your next meal prep session.🤔
This could be used a bit more as a technique than a recipe per se. Customise it as you wish!!
1️⃣ Cross together two big sheets of aluminium foil, Cut a decent size piece of baking paper and place it in the middle of the cross, lay your protein of choice on the baking paper together with your frozen veggies.
2️⃣ Sprinkle on top some salt and your preferred seasoning, toss it around.
3️⃣ Make a nice sealed parcel with the baking paper, wrap the aluminium foil around it, to keep everything nice and tight.
4️⃣ Make as many as you want, play around with different spices, no need to add any fat, but go a head if it fits your macros.
5️⃣ Bake the parcels all together for about 40min at 180C, adjust according to the size of your protein.
6️⃣ Let them cool down, nothing should have come out of the parcels, making cleaning a breeze!!
7️⃣Place the little parcels in the freezer, and when you are ready to eat, simply take one out, remove the aluminium foil and place the frozen block directly on a microwave safe plate and heat it up for 4-6 minutes or until completely heated through.
Try it with 🐓 , 🍤 or keep it vegan with tofu,
And for your veggies 🌶 🌽 🥦🥕🥔🍠
I made mine with:
-Dill and mustered
-Curry species
-Paprika
-Italian seasoning
-Taco seasoning
-Tandoori
Its only a case of looking in your pantry grab what you have and just sprinkle it on top of everything
Best thing is you can have a different seasoning every night!
I also made a super quick spinach and cherry tomatoes side salad.
For my portion size:
100g Hoki fillet
