I have been meaning to film a ‘What I Eat in a Day’ video for yonks. If you follow me on Snapchat (‘viviannamakeup‘ FYI) then you’ll know that I’m always rustling something up in the kitchen and I love to cook/bake/do anything that involves food. I’m always flicking through cookbooks or scouring Amazon for my next recipe-packed purchase and I really enjoy cooking for friends and family. I’m basically turning into my Mum, which I’m really ok with. Her homemade flapjacks are off the chain.
Of course there are all the usual disclaimers that come with this video; such as the fact that this video shows one day out of a lifetime of meals, so sometimes I eat more veg/less carbs/more meat/no meat/a whole pack of Diary Milk Chocolate Buttons. However I filmed this on Friday on a day when I was in and out of the flat and if I’m at home, then I tend to eat pretty healthy-ish. It’s when I’m out for the whole day in London that I grab a Burger King for dinner at Victoria Station – been there, done that, had the disapproving stares on the train home. Everything in moderation and all that.
One thing I do try to do though, is meal prep. I tend to have a good couple of hours of cooking earlier on in the week to prep bits and bobs that I can then just dip into and reheat whenever I feel like munching on them. For instance here, both my breakfast and lunch were prepped and all ready to go, so are great options for transporting into work and eating al desko if you fancy. I find that having options for breakfast and lunch on hand that are quick and easy, mean that I’m not slaving away in the kitchen all day and then I actually enjoy the hour or so in the evening that I spend in there making dinner. I pop on the extractor fan, an episode of Friends and have a great time, dipping my finger in everything and pretending I’m Nigella. Fun times.
