It has been super hot here this week. Yesterday it got to 44C (111F)! So we have been having lots of salads and icy-cold milk on cereal in the mornings. Thank goodness the cool change has finally arrived.
What has been the highlight in your week of food?

You ate so light and fresh this week! The heat explanation makes a lot of sense. I keep forgetting that your seasons are not my seasons. :)
YUM. That all looks so delicious! Things are so cold over here right now. The highlight of my week this week - food-wise - was probably the delicious vegetable soup I had the other afternoon. It's a lot cooler over here (in the 40-60's F) so soup is much more up my alley right now than cool, cripsy salads. But they do look delicious nonetheless!
Enjoy your summer!
It sure has been bad for you down there! Today is supposed to be 43 here in Sydney. Lucky that I'm inside with aircon.
All yummy stuff you've had this week - what do use as the base for your pizza? Do you put the yoghurt on after cooking?
I didn't really have a food highlight this week - I shall try and have one for you next week ;)
Chantel - I just use wholemeal pita bread for the base of the pizza. And yep I drizzle the yoghurt on after cooking - yum!
i cant believe its been so hot there! its really starting to feel wintery here - even a little bit of snow!
highlights in food - i made curry! very exciting haha
oh, that is some miserable weather! 111?!?!? ack!!! i hope the cool weather continues!
and that lamb looks ldivine. i had lamb chops the other night and they made me moan they were so good. a hahhahaha. i have been wanting to make eggplant parm, as that is so good and it is finally getting cold here. but i am supposed to be eating healthy, and that would blow the diet all to hell!
The carrot dahl looks yum!
It's pretty wet, windy and cold in Scotland so I've been putting chilli flakes in everything to warm us up - hot chocolate with chilli flakes; carrot and corriander soup with chilli flakes; and chocolate orange cookies - with - yup - chilli flakes!! My boyfriend is having to prise the jar of chilli flakes out of my hand!!
I love your meal pics there always so colourful and Healthy!! That pizza looks and sounds amazing!
44 degrees - oh my god was it hot!? Therefore the food highlight of my week was an icy pole that arvo :)
