We started this day with Knut’s skate practice at 6.50am and I had a plan that I would get over to the gym afterwards, normally I shoot over straight after I send the kids on the school bus. The thing is, this week I am not working with “time slots” so I never made it this morning. Instead Mira and I started to decorate for easter and before I knew it my good friend Elise was knocking on the door and we ended up hanging out for the afternoon.
Elise and I went to the World Market to buy a lot of swedish candy as I guess it is all about being prepared. The thing is that easter for me is associated with family, friends, food and candy so on Saturday I am all about the carbs and now I am ready, so bring on the Easter Bunny…haha!
For dinner this evening I made chicken again! I think this week is turning into a “chicken week” but hey why not, chicken is both tasty and healthy right?! After we finished me and the kids were watching The Voice before it was time for them to go to bed. I was so tempted to join them but instead I pulled myself together and conquered all my negative thoughts and sweated out an hour on the elliptical in front of the TV!
Marinated Chicken
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (gluten-free)
1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
garlic powder
Chili Flakes
Salt and Pepper
Truffle Aioli (4-6 servings)
1 tablespoon Vinegar
1 minced Garlic Clove
1 Deciliter/less than 1/2 cup Canola Oil
Chili Flakes
Salt and Pepper
1 Tablespoon Truffle Oil
How to: Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade and cover the chicken with the marinade before placing it in the oven for about 20 minutes 350F/177C. To make it easy for myself I roasted vegetables and they were done at the same time as the chicken.
Aioli Start by separate the yolk from the egg white and mix in all the ingredients except the Canola Oil that will be added slowly while using a mixer. Taste the aioli to see if you need more garlic, truffle oil or salt.
