Nestle fitness review

Ok due to the fact that I have been working and not really tking care of myself and not getting enough sleep I have been carrying some extra baggage with me. So in a bid to get healthier I decided to try the Nestle fitness cereal out. I opted for the honey and almond flavour and it came with a free dance CD-haha! I honestly can't see myself busting any moves like the lady on the box (think of a sun bear ateempting to dance-hahahaha! Even I can't stop laughing) so I chucked the cd and opted to remain active in a more natural setting for me (Meaning my neighbours cannot video me and balckmail me in the future).

I was pleasantly surpirised to find that the cereal had actual almond flakes in it and that each flake had a distinct honey flavour. I have yet to lose any weight but that is probably because I am not following the instructions and replacing either lunch or dinner with a bowl of cereal. Anyway for those out there who happen to be wondering, the cereal tastes good and not bland and will satisfy your sweet tooth.And the bonus is that you get a free cd to groove to or you could just opt to stare at the models abs and convince yourself you will look like her at the end of 2 weeks :) Either way it is a low calorie healthy cheap option without having to pay for a slimming salon.

Good luck!

Cheese risotto with bacon or chicken

This is an absolute comfort dish and I love eating this though the cooking process can be tiring. But my take on it is that by the time you are done stirring, you have burnt enough calories to not have to feel guilty about enjoying this dish :) So enjoy!

Ingredients:
60g of unsalted butter and a little extra on the side
2 tbsp of olive oil
I onion sliced finely or 2 scallions finely sliced
1/4 tsp of saffron threads soaked in a glass of white wine
Cooked chopped bacon or chicken
1/2 tsp dijon mustard(optional)- I personally leave this out bc I dont like the taste of mustard
1 cup of parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese
2 tbsp of chives
2 tbsp of parsely
250g of Arborio rice
1 litre of chicken stock(try getting low sodium option)

Put stock in a pot and simmer
Melt the butter with the oil in a pan.
Add the scallion and fry till soft.
 Add the meat bc you want this to flavour the rice. Then add the rice and fry for 1-2 mins.
Add the wine with the saffron and mustartd and stir till absorbed.
Start ladling one ladle of stock at a time into the rice and stir till absorbed before adding second ladle. Once all the stock has beeen used, take off heat add the cheese, chives and parsely and knobs of extra butter and leave it absord everything for 5 minutes before eating. Bon appetite!

Good Luck!
