Lunch 14/07/2012

Tiger and I hit the supermarket to buy food and we found a small buey (We have different names for different crabs, this is a large brown crab) suitable for two people. I love seafood so I had to have it :') It's already boiled so I only had to prepare the head (mix its contents with a boiled egg and white wine)

Second course was Galician style~octopus with baked paprika potatoes :') The little dish on the right has some marinated dogfish leftovers.

Lunch 10/07/2012

Finally I got to buy some tofu! I was craving it soooo bad :') I couldn't wait to cook some miso soup. With sliced leek, diced tofu, miso paste and dashi broth.Yum~ :')

I opened a tin of gulas al ajillo (they're like tiny hake noodles with olive oil, chili and garlic) which my mom bought for me. They're delicious and a good source of low~cal protein. :')

Dinner 09/06/2012

Tiger went to the market an bought some nice tuna loins so I couldn't pass the opportunity of making them sashimi style. Continuing with the asian dinner, we made some spring rolls. Yum :') Love homemade sashimi.

Sashimi is great because it's lean raw protein with no added calories. We didn't have fresh sliced ginger so we used powdered instead. Tons soy sauce everywhere and ready to enjoy :')

Lunch 09/07/2012

Yesterday night I had a ton of cereal (like a TON! :'P ) watching a movie with Tiger so today I'm keeping it light eating lean protein (and, ok, two slices of my mom's cheese with anchovies :'D) and salad. Tomatoes, asparagus, and tuna with balsamic vinegar. 

Main course was chili prawns and surimi ~super spicy, yum~.

If you're like me and you have a problem with self control, do not take all the box of cereal to the bed with you :'P

Dinner 06/07/2012

There's nothing like fresh fish fillets :') To get the most out of them I grilled them with toasted sliced garlic, salt and parsley. Then we had them with lemon. Hake fillets are healthy and easy to cook, they're nice breaded but I rather them grilled.

I made a salad to share with Tiger :') It had spinach, tomatoes, soy, sweet and sour carrot, tuna and white asparagus.

Lunch 04/07/2012

Recently I've learned that my favorite fastfood restaurant, Maoz Vegetarian is closing their only restaurant in Madrid. So there wont be anymore Maoz for me :'(  Tiger and I went to have dinner and they kindly gave us the leftovers so I had them for lunch yesterday.

My Maoz salad had cous cous, tomato sauce, fried cauliflower and carrots. I also made a leek and mackerel fillets salad, in order to have some protein after my workout.
Booooh I'm gonna miss it :'(

Lunch 03/07/2012

Awwww :'( I finished my mom's homemade wild trout in brine today. Yum :')
It was enough protein by itself so I just had some low~cal zucchini and cheese cream. The cream it's only 100 cal, and if you have it warm, before the main dish, it's filling and helps you don't overeat.

Cream was great but the trout was delicious :')
Thank you mom <3

Dinner 01/07/2012

Big Final Soccer Match night! Spain vs. Italy and luckily, we won :')
Tiger and I had our usual bed~picnic but we had some of the food my mom gave me.

Iberian ham croquettes for Tiger, homemade wild trout in brine ( my dad fished it and my mom cooked it! <3 ) Soft white cheese with pineapple, cured cheese, Philadelphia cheese, smoked salmon and anchovies. Toasted wheat bread for me and sandwich bread for Tiger.

We just made toasts with everything while watching the match. Love having variety of foods for dinner :')

Lunch 02/07/2012

Back home with my regular meals, but using some of the food my mom gave me yesterday! Love you mom <3 I'm a bit homesick~

Leek salad with tuna chunks in olive oil, and some smoked salmon with anchovies ( I put them over toasted wheat bread, the anchovies taste amazing with smoked salmon! )

Dinner 29/06/2012

One of the many good things my family has, is they take us to have dinner to some nice restaurants. This weekend we went to La Favorita. I pretty much liked it. Delicious huge salads (not pictured, sorry, too busy catching up with mom and dad ;') ) and tasty fresh fish.

After the salad, my dad and I shared this is grilled monkfish. That's just my half! Yeah, it was huge, and delicious. One of the best grilled fish I remember. Tiger had a cod omelette and my mom had a iberian pork sirloin brochette. Yep, I stole a couple of her fries, but she kindly shared :')

Dessert! Tiger and I shared, it was warm white chocolate soup with strawberry ice cream. 

I really don't know how much it was couse my parents invited us, but I overall liked the place.

Tapas 30/06/2012

Tiger and I went to spend the weekend at my parent's home, so we could celebrate together the patron saint's days of my hometown. These holidays are all about food and drinks, so we had plenty of tapas and other delicious food (my mom's homemade dishes and other fancy menus from restaurants) Here are the tapas we had:

These puff pastry were filled with peppers and mushrooms and covered in that white soft cheese sauce. Pretty good, a bit too oily but loved the crunchiness!

Mackerel chunks with balsamic vinegar over bread with caramel~coated onions. Nothing special but mackerel does work well with onions.

Big mussel croquette. Tasted like other famous tapa called "Tigres" (Tigers in spanish!) which are stuffed mussels. This croquette just lacked the shell, heheh.

Dinner 27/06/2012

Yesterday was match night again and Tiger ordered one of my favorite dinners to celebrate :') Seaweed and prawn balls and maguro (tuna) sashimi. Yay :')

Tiger had a slice or two of the sashimi and half a stuffed aubergine, which had tuna, peppers and cheese filling. We also shared some sardines in brine with wheat toasted bread.

And yeah, we won :')

Dinner 26/06/2012

Pescetarianism does not mean I don't get to have burgers now and then :')
These are fish burgers made of hake, octopus and salmon. They taste great with a fraction of the fat! I also rather grill them, instead of frying. Healthier :')

The one on the right looks different because it has BBQ sauce and mustard on it :'). I also made a salad with spinach, tuna chunks, tomato and nonfat, soft white cheese as a side dish. Tiger had his burgers in sandwich bread with cheese and sliced tomato.

Lunch 25/06/2012

I'm not being very creative with my lunchs lately but, honestly, it's so hot in here that I don't really feel like eating anything but salads and cold dishes! Blame our intense spanish summer...

That's a spinach, crab meat -surimi-, raw mushrooms and tomato salad. Balsamic cream and salt as dressing! I'm having tempura salmon as well, with soy sauce. I love tempura, and I love salmon so it's the perfect mix of textures/flavors for me.
Also, salmon is full of good-for-you fatty acids!

Ke Wok [Lunch 24/06/2012]

Lazy sunday :')
Today we went to Ke Wok, one of our favorite Wok restaurants in Madrid. We love it mainly because it's in the city center and they have sake sashimi (thinly sliced raw salmon) which is my favorite!
They also have many kinds of maki and sushi.

Closer view of one of the dishes (Tiger and I shared them :') ) With various maki and the sake sashimi.

You have the option to arrange some raw fresh ingredients (fish, meat, mushrooms, veggies...) and they grill them for you or you can choose a sauce (Soy, teriyaki, curry...) and make a wok out of them. Our grill had some king prawns with peppers, asparagus, onions and mushrooms:

And our wok had curry sauce and consisted of at least three kinds of mushrooms, king prawns and squids.

Tiger had some chocolate cake and ice cream for dessert, but I had my usual fresh fruit with chocolate :') I know, I know, but just once in a while I have to treat myself!

Watermelon, kiwi, melon and pineapple with chocolate and whipped cream. Yum. Best dessert ever. 

Both Free Buffet lunchs plus two liter~bottles of water were about 27€.

Dinner 21/06/2012

Rainbow Trout :')
Tiger and I went to the market and bought two of these delicious fresh trouts for dinner. I cook them stuffed with red peppers, over sliced potatoes with some salt, garlic and parsley. In the oven, with no oil whatsoever, they keep all their flavor.

I just served some nonfat battered soft white cheese and chili sauce for the baked potatoes :')
Fish is good for your health and has less fat than chicken. Just try to avoid eating lots of big fish (tunas, swordfish...) and choose instead smaller ones, like rainbow trouts, that have less mercury.

Dinner 20/06/2012

Tiger made his famous scrambled eggs with cod and fries. It's a dish called "bacalao dorada" (golden cod) wich is delicious. I've never done it so all the credit goes to Tiger :')

I cut some fresh salmon in sashimi to share, with soy sauce and sliced ginger.
