This meal is as good as it looks! Creamy chicken and mushroom in my opinion is the best combination. Along with your protein this meal is also low in calories and provides you with greens and vegetables.
This is beautiful on both a hot and cold day.

Specially Marinated Grilled Lamb Chops



Grilled Lamb Chops

Heyy food lovers,

I'm just going to briefly introduce how my journey of healthy eating all began. The truth is my mum is my inspiration. She walks 6km to work most days in the morning and on top of that she goes to the gym during her lunch breaks. She reads books at night about healthy food and exercising, how to moviate yourself. By changing her dietary habits and slowly incorporating this in the way she cooks for the family she managed to lose 10kg in 3 months. That's where it all began, I decided to join my mum and eat healthy.

Well today surprisingly didn’t reach the forecasted temperature of 40 degrees. I thought it would be a lovely day for grilled juicy lamb chops.

This meal is for one of those days you feel like a big, hearty, warm meal.
There's always healthy ways to enjoy your favourite foods.

For a healthy lamb chop meal it is essential to trim all fat, and grill not pan fry to avoid excess fat and oils building up in the food.

The secret in this recipe is the marinade, which brings out beautiful, aromatic flavours. This is a great and tasty way to cook your source of protein.

This is best accompanied by a fresh salad or yogurt and mint sauce.
