How’s January treating you guys? Are you still loving the cold season, eating lots of lovely soups and stews and other comforting dinners by a big warm fire? Or are you (like me) getting sick of your hands being cold ALL the time, trying to lose weight, and looking forward to wearing t-shirts and other summer clothes, instead of feeling like a marshmallow in your big coat and scarf? I sound a little grumpy I suppose, but I’m not really. I would rather lose this stone magically, instead of having to reduce my calorie intake, but I’m enjoying the feeling of not overeating and that feeling after an exercise session. We’re also taking the kids out for lots of walks, whenever we can fit some time and, and I think the time away from our screens is benefiting the whole family. Food-wise, I’m cutting back a lot, with one treat day a week. The rest of the time I’m trying to keep to very low carbs for breakfast and lunch, then enjoying them with dinner. I’m also trying to ensure I fast for 14-16 hours in each 24 hours. Which really helps prevent the evening snacking I’m so fond of.
One thing I refuse to do is to sacrifice nice flavours (ok, I did share the mud-flavoured warm smoothie on my Instagram stories the other day, but it was accidentally nasty-tasting). I want tongue-tingling tastes that satisfy. Which is my smooth transition into this poke bowl…… Cubes of marinated fillet steak, seared to smoky/juicy perfection and served alongside rice, avocado, crunchy veggies and caramelized pineapple slices. All finished off with a lightly spicy, garlicky dressing.
I know poke bowls normally consist of raw salmon, but I’m not quite ready for a full-on cold food for dinner just yet. The seared steak makes a great alternative, until we’re closer to the summer months! Check out a few of my other nourish bowls:
