032. A simple brunch

I've recently discovered Helga's sandwich thins and they are seriously yummy. Essentially they are round mini pizza like pieces of bread which are much thinner than slices of bread so they make for a great size for brunches and light lunches. You can do so much with these! I've seen pics of people using these as toast (I personally like to toast and spread light Philly cheese on them), as mini pizzas or even just breadfor dips. So I thought I would share with you what I made today for brunch; tuna salad sandwich thins.

Don't they look delicious? Mine I would consider half healthy, only because I was bad and mixed a heap of mayo into to the tuna. What I did was I got a can of tuna, mixed in mayo and cracked pepper then spread it on the toasted sandwich thin. Then I got a bunch of mixed leaves, cut slices of capsicum then added in some semi-sundried tomato. Finished with a crack of pepper and voila, a light simple brunch. 

031. Goin' Vego - Sanitarium Kitchen

As an avid carnivore, a vegetarian restaurant wouldn't normally be my first choice to go for a satisfying feed but I had heard so much positive feedback and great reviews from friends about Sanitarium Kitchen that I thought I'd give it a go. 

Sanitarium Kitchen is a fresh, fully vego restaurant in the CBD. Open for breakfast and lunch during the week, it's a popular place for the 'suits' of the city for a creative and delicious vegetarian meal. The service is friendly and the venue is nice and open, nearby the cooling winds of the river. 

I visited the restaurant with a friend for lunch and I had the fried bocconcini with tomato and avocado salad. It was amazing. Admittedly, prior to my visit, I honestly wasn't a huge fan of bocconcini and I chose this dish purely for the fried component! But now I love bocconcini and this salad was fantastic. I think I would go back just for this. It was just so well put together and how fresh and healthy does it look?!

I haven't been to many fully vegetarian restaurants, I think they are quite rare in our little city so if you get the opportunity to go, Sanitarium Kitchen is a very good choice. It would be lovely if they were open on weekends because it would be a lovely place for a casual brunch/lunch. Sanitarium Kitchen is definitely recommended!
