Sun, sea and seafood

Posted on

Sun, sea and seafood. . The last day of an Indian Summer with lunch by the sea with a healthy but delicious Asian fusion mix of scallop, seabass and tempura prawn on a bed of vegetables, noodles and peanuts. . It's so easy to eat healthily when it's presented beautifully and tastes delcious. Its all about the flavours. . Even when you are cooking at home, however simple or basic the recipe or meal, if you take a bit of extra care and time to make it look appetising on the plate, you will feel more satisfied on a smaller portion. You will crave less of the unhealthy sugary carb laden foods which give high/low spikes to your blood sugar and energy levels. . . . . .

Mixing spaghetti with courgettes and leaves helps the dish become more nutritionally balanced and to last longer as fuel for your body.
