Day 10 and Day 11

Weekends are for indulgences , right? hehh because on Saturday I had carby Chinese food deliciousness for lunch, then late at night hung out with friends and ate a couple Trader Joe's lemon bars & wined on some pink moscato. and then on Sunday, I had Taiwanese breakfast for the first time! My friends ordered in Chinese but I believe we ordered: turnip cake, shredded pork rice roll, scallion pancake, shrimp omelette (it was pretty wet), pig in a steamed bun (pork belly was so soft), and to wash that all down, soymilk. Going on food adventures and having such a satisfying, delicious experience without spending much at all makes me Super happy  I knew once I got home after eating that satiating meal, I'd want to crawl onto my bed and watch Tv while relenting to the food coma.  So I dragged myself to the gym for Day 10   (Sunday) workout: -Did more SQUATS because my glutes were not hurting from Saturday's sesh.

Rice Paper spring rolls

Image
Spring rolls are quite easy to make and they look so delectable! They are also healthy (depending what you put into them: lots of veggies most likely). I think I will continue to pack these for lunch boxes :) I used this rice paper and to make 5 spring rolls it's ~120 calories and 29.5 g carbs (not including meat and vegetables). Not bad at all. You can change up the vegetables and meats each time too: carrots cucumbers spinach lettuce cilantro avocado onions bell peppers red cabbages sprouts jicama tomato no meat tofu sausage beef chicken fish/canned tuna The sauce I like to use is hoison sauce + sriracha + a little bit of warm water. Sometimes I add peanut butter as well. Yum
