I like my weekends as they areThis is what I was wearing today
I wanted to change but I said, na! this is what I wear on the weekends
The hat is thrifted The sweater was thrifted at St-Vincent de Paul
I paid $1 for this sweater
Leggings are retail
The platform boots are retail as well
I have a thing these days with platform boots
I feel like, move over I'm the queen of the commute!
I admit - I splurged!
But they were on sale and I can afford it, my cats will eat this month, all is good!
The rest of this post is dedicated to my friend Sabine
Sabine loves her cake but can't eat it these days
I have a solution for you Sabine
Maybe you will able to eat your cake, sometimes
I have been experimenting with baking this weekend
I took my favorite chocolate cake recipe and modified it to make it more healthy and reduce the calorific value -
I replace the white sugar with coconut sugar which has a low glycemic index
Low glycemic index food will make you feel less hungry , provide you with more energy and can lead to weight loss and reduce the risk of diabetes
I replace the butter with 5 tablespoon of rice bran oil and 6 tablespoon of yogurt
Rice bran oil is ideal for high temperature cooking, everyday cooking, salads, etc., and is rich in vitamin E
I added cinnamon and dark chocolate chips to the mix
The icing was dark chocolate with a bit of butter
I was a bit apprehensive, changing the ingredients does not guarantee the best results
My expert cake taster, Mr. D who these days also can't have his cake said it was excellent
He's so happy he can have his cake now!
I also made this weekend butternut squash, sweet potatoes shepherds pie
I use horsemeat, sorry vegetarians, but this meat is very lean -
I mixed the meat with mushrooms, onions, spices and a little red wine - I omitted the traditional corn-
I sprinkled a mozzarella on top of the shepherds pie
Again a low fat, different and very tasty!
