If you have been a long time reader of From Steph to Chef, you may have figured out my absolute favourite breakfast, or even my absolute favourite food for that matter.
Of course I am talking about the delightfully delicious peanut butter and banana toastie! I was going through my photos and realised just how many times I have photographed this one breakfast! So I made a little collage for you:
Today I realised I hadn't had one of these in yonks (like maybe more than a month!) and decided that I needed to fix this:
Paired here with some mango froyo!
If I had to choose my next favourite breakfast, it would be simple creamy banana oats, and of
recently- steel cut oats:
1/3 cup steel cut oats + 1 cup milk ( I used oat milk) + 1 sliced banana
Let bubble away for 10-15 mins, stirring occassionally- then I usually have to add a touch more milk, bubble for 5 more mins, then I just like to let it hang out in my bowl (mug) for 10-15 mins, to cool and let the flavours infuse)
Eaten here with a simple berry smoothie:
With a spoon of peanut butter and a dash of cinnamon:
So as you can see I like sticking to my tried and true old recipes, but I do love to experiment in the kitchen as well- just check out my breakfast page!
After working hard at cleaning my room (I mean cleaning!) something I haven't done ever! I went through everything and through out maybe 50% of my stuff (well gave it to the op-shop) I figured I needed to make my room more 15-year-old-y and so I've also started on a secret project which I shall reveal to you when I have finished! Anywho, I was working up an appetite and quickly whipped this up:
Another oldie but a goodie- a toasted wrap!
spread with hommus, topped with spinach, grilled veggie burger, grilled capsicum and mushrooms, sliced tomato and avocado, grilled in a sandwich press.
check out my awesome wrapping skillz:
It's also very nice and neatly tucked in there:
My new lunch was a delicious salad, with a side of roasted pumpkin and organic vegetable tortilla chips:
The salad was soo good. After reading this post, I decided to cut my veggies up nice and small so I could have a taste of everything all at once- genius!
In it was torn spinach and kale, diced tomato, carrot, capsicum, peas, beetroot (cut into matchsticks) dried tomato strips, chopped chives, basil, garlic tofu and a nice squeeze of lemon juice= yum!
So colourful :) The roast pumpkin was simply cut then drizzled with olive oil and roasted at 180 degrees celsius for 30 mins.
This lunch was pretty darn tasty and filling!
And now I just want to leave you with a pic of last nights sky:
Because pink really is everywhere :D
Have a fabulous Sunday everyone!

Athletic eating.
Hello, hello friends.
No don't worry I haven't started eating competitions or stuffing my face in an athletic manner, or taken up sprinting and javelin whilst eating. What I meant by athletic eating was what I ate on the day of my school's athletic carnival :)
You might remember from this post and this post me mentioning that I couldn't run because I did something to my ITB band/ muscle thingy down my leg.
Well, I had signed up for 4 different running events and long jump before this happened, so with the help of my wonderful physio's remedial massage (I have bruises to prove how wonderful) and some acupuncture and some taping... I could compete!
With some bananas split in half and smothered in peanut butter?
Stirry-stir:

Good to go!
I went equipped with a little chemist in my bag. Voltaren gel, snap ice packs and extra tape.
The real way I prepared myself for today? A good hearty- DELICIOUS- breakfast:
Chocolate steel cut oats and berry froyo (frozen berries whazzed up with greek yoghurt)
Using this method, I heated up 1 tablespoon of cashew butter and spread it round!
Full of protein, complex carbs and good fats- I was ready to start the day!
Chocolate not up your alley?
How does overnight oats mixed with mango fro-yo sound:
With some bananas split in half and smothered in peanut butter?
Stirry-stir:
YUM!
In relation to how I did in the carnival... not great to be honest :D
I sort of expected it... I didn't lose anything (second last isn't losing!) and I did come 4th in the 800m (out of like 25 girls) so I guess I'm sort of happy, it just means no inter-school this year. I was pushing it competing anyway!
But there you have some great brekky's for a busy/ tiring/ energy requiring day!
What did you have for brekky?
Are you a sprinter or long distance runner?
How do you feel about acupuncture? (I might talk about this in a later post :)
See ya later! :D
