Herbed chicken pita with cucumber and grapes: On a whole wheat pita, spread on teaspoon of hummus. Add a few chunks of grilled, skinless chicken breast (nothing more than 14 grams) and sprinkle a pinch of pepper and salt. Stuff in a few slices of cucumber, tomato and onion, and top up with a few fresh mint leaves. Season with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and some dried rosemary. Throw in a few seedless grapes and enjoy.
Spaghetti carbonara: In a cold skillet, pour some olive oil and swirl to cover the bottom of it. Add around 50 grams of diced bacon and cook over medium heat until the bacon turns crispy. Remove and on a paper towel lined plate. Add two tablespoons of shallots to the skillet and cook until crispy. Set aside on a plate. Cook a small packet of pasta according to the instructions and throw in a handful of peas, half way through. Once the pasta is cooked, take out around three glasses from the same water and drain the remaining. Pour the pasta onto the skillet and add bacon, peas, shallots and pasta water. Mix in half cup milk and equal amounts of parmesan cheese, and stir well. Once the water is soaked, season with salt, pepper and oregano, and savour.
