Summer snacks
What made me happy today? Summer snacks.
I had a day off today (Bank holiday), so I took some time to do some shopping. It was a lot less busy in the supermarket than in the weekend :-)
It also gave me the time to pick out some of my favorite summer snacks. I posted one of them a while ago. The other ones are fruit! Nice and healthy :-)
Summer is a great time for fruits like peaches, nectarines and cherries. I don't buy cherries at the supermarket, I have a tree from which I get more than enough. But I managed to score some very delicious yellow nectarines and peaches. And a melon.
I sure love these healthy summer snacks! What's your favorite?

Stir it up
What made me happy today? Stir fry!
I eat a lot of vegetables. One of my favorite ways to prepare veggies is a stir fry. Now when I was at the supermarket last Sunday I got a free bundle of scallions with my purchase (no idea why). I looked at a bunch of recipes to try and find a nice way to prepare them but in the end I decided to wing it.
This was the result:
It's very tasty, kind of healthy and easy to make.
What you need:
- 100 gr mushrooms, sliced
- 100 gr broccoli, in florets
- a bundle of scallions, sliced
- 100 gr of seitan or beef or poultry, in strips
- two soup-spoons of soy sauce
- a teaspoon of palm sugar
How to make it:
- put some oil in a wok, heat it
- toss everything in the wok except the scallions
- stir fry for a few minutes, until everything is nice and warm
- add the soy sauce, the sugar and the scallions and stir fry for about two more minutes
- serve with rice and enjoy!

Tasty, healthy food
What made me happy today? Healthy food that is tasty as well!
I love avocado. It's super yummy, tasty and healthy! So yesterday I made a simple avocado - seafood salad. I loved it so much I made it again today.
Here's what you need:
- 2 ripe avocados
- half a lemon
- seafood of your choice, I used crab strips
- one small red onion
And this is how you make it:
- slice the avocados in two, twist, remove the seed amd scoop it out into a bowl.
- finely chop the onion, add to the avocados.
- add the seafood, mix together.
- drizzle with some lemon juice, mix again.
Enjoy on bread, toast or as dip!

Swimming
What made me happy today? Swimming.
I love to swim. Always have. There's just something about it that relaxes me.
I'm lucky enough to live close to a pool. So once a week I go for a swim with two friends. It seemed like a good plan, and we keep each other motivated to come. We don't chat much or mess around in the pool, nope, we swim laps. Every time I look forward to the weekly swim. I can work of my frustrations, let of some steam, think about stuff, just be alone with my thoughts in the water.
It's just me, my body and my mind. In the water, we are one well-working machine. My knee doesn't bother me, and as I've been swimming for years, I don't have to think about it. I can just let my thought flow freely as I cleave through the water :-)
Besides, it's good for you. Swimming is gentle on the joints and gives you an all-over work-out. Plus, you don't get all sweaty :-)
And with my new haircut it became even more fun, because now I don't have to walk home in the cold with wet hair any more :-)
So pack up your swimming trunks or bathing suit and go splash around in a pool ;-)
