Father's day over here in England (and I think the US?), so happy Father's day all! :) Highly slacky day, considering going for a walk a bit later once my dinner has settled though. So a slightly brief post this time.
My other half loves having a cooked breakfast on Sunday morning. He stayed in bed until 12 today as he didn't sleep too well so thought that I'd cheer him up a bit by making cooked breakfast for him (and as lunch for me). I absolutely hate the taste of pork so I substituted the bacon with some grilled tomatoes and beetroot. Yum.
In a way I feel so guilty for having that slice of cake as I'm really trying to cut down on all unnecessary food for a while. But then again, you've got to let yourself enjoy a bit of something sweet every now and then. :)

And dinner! Oh my gosh. My mother in law decided to cook this amazing dish from Jamie Oliver's 30 Minute Meals. Cod with a spicy and tangy sauce and breadcrumb topping, served with roasted potatoes and a salad.
And as it's Father's day, a little something for my father in law. :) I found this delicious chocolate cake recipe and wanted to try it out! It is a more healthy option for the normal gooey chocolate cake, this recipe has next to no flour (two tablespoons) and no butter. The recipe itself counts a slice of this deliciousness at 164 calories and I added a bit of white chocolate and dark chocolate shavings on top that bumped the calorie count up a bit.
