Panfried chicken, cumin omelette and cucumber salad with garlicky yoghurt dressing
Everytime I resolve to have a "healthier" week (usually following holiday gluttony) it ends up being 1) research through a whole bunch of low carb / low GI recipes, 2) conceptualize a list for the week, 3) make first dish look really fancy... all of the time that I should really spend on working out! This plate is from one of those weeks but hey, it turned out absolutely yummy that I looked forward to packing leftovers the next day.
