Ok, so I didn't overdose on chocolate over Easter but I DID over-indulge in general. And I didn't exercise. And I feel ick. I guess my body has become so used to me exercising regularly and eating well that when I fall off the wagon it gives me a swift kick in the pants in the form of making me feel feral.
But it's a good thing, and craving good, healthy, whole foods can only be beneficial! So, in the spirit of all things Easter detox I hit the supermarket health food isle and bought up then cooked myself this delicious meal last night. And I made heaps, so I will be eating it all week. Not unhappy about that at all!
And I thought, in case anyone else is feeling a bit second hand like me, you might want to try this for yourself too - it's cheap, easy, healthy AND yummy so it's a total WIN!

Then Just

well in the midfield. Right now in Boston it is really good.
