SmarterFitter Daily

This is my attempt to keep a daily food and fitness diary. This isn't Pulitzer-winning writing; these are spontaneous, often hastily written rambles of what I eat, do and learn in my ongoing effort to feel awesome all the time. It may not always be pretty, but at least it's honest. You can find more stories and recipes at SmarterFitter.com.

Poached Egg with Fagioli All Uccelletto

Pretty awesome way to make use of any leftover bean dish: top it with a poached egg. And in this case, these beans - an Italian dish that includes tomato, greens, onion, garlic, sage and lemon zest - are the ultimate egg bed.

Dal Chapatti with Cabbage Salad and Pickles

Dal Chapatti with Cabbage Salad and Pickles

A Twitter friend gave me the idea to make chapatti out of leftover dal - basically take the dal and add enough flour to form a soft dough. I used wholemeal spelt but think next time I'll go for a mix of white and wholemeal wheat flour. These were a little dry - but still tasty!
