In my quest to cope with internship anxieties, I have really been actively pursuing my fitness and diet. 2 entries ago, I wrote about having a super-productive morning and making delicious food. That was actually only yesterday morning, and today, I decided to make the same thing since my other pork chop was just sitting in the fridge!
I took pictures of my dish and present it below. It's simple, fast, easy, and wonderful for Paleo eaters as well as anyone who simply likes meats and veggies together. I also LOVE heavy breakfasts that fill-me-up, but anyone wanting to try this can eat this at any time: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacktime, even!
Anyways, here it is: my yummy porkchop salad! (My apologies in advance for being a poor picture-taker. This is why I'm not a food blogger and why I rarely post pictures)
I made this dish in less than 15 minutes. First, I marinated my porkchop in Worcestershire sauce and let it hang out while I chopped up some red cabbage and tomatoes. I had boiled some asparagus in hot water (for 4 minutes) yesterday and took it out of the fridge to add some color onto the dish. Once my veggies were prepared, I grilled up my porkchop and ta-da! There you have it!
Because my porkchop wasn't marinated long enough, I decided to add some sauce to my veggies to give it some flavor. I poured on some paleo mayo that I made a few days ago, and I am serious when I say that I can eat this day every. single. day.
My paleo mayo was an experimentation based on a recipe I read in another blog. But because it turned out too salty, I also blended in some coconut milk and threw in a few slices of oranges to give it a sweeter tang and a saucy texture. In total, I blended all of these ingredients to make this sauce: raw eggs, olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, and then my own spin using coconut milk and some orange slices.
Delicious, I tell you! And beautiful to look at too, since I'm striving to eat a rainbow everyday to get all my colorful veggies and nutrients!
I have found myself in unhealthy relationships with others and, in turn, myself. This blog details my journey to find self-compassion: to reflect on my own role in unhealthy relationships and to focus on me. This is my attempt to look inward to become more self-aware. If my writings are relate-able to anyone, it is my hope that I can offer a sense of normalcy about wanting to feel loved and connected without losing your sense of self along the way...
