A few years ago when I first went to university, I vowed to lose weight by eating in such a way that was healthy, satiating, convenient and cheap. I began a journey that was half typical university student (convenience foods and odd combinations of instant foods) and half passionate foodie (finding random boutique groceries). Please enjoy my blog :)

Chicken, pineapple and tomato pasta salad
One day when I returned home from holidays with my folks, I found the fridge full of fresh produce: pineapple, tomato and celery. My boyfriend had decided to make one of his mother's recipes for me. It's pretty straightforward: you just cook the chicken somehow (I microwaved it) and then make sure all the ingredients are tossed together in similar sized cubes with some dressing (I used French). My one regret was the chicken was so bland. While the tomato and pineapple give the meal a sweet and sour theme to it, using boiled chicken breast simply gives the sensation of there being extra, more textured, pasta. Thefore, if I ever make this again or ever need to use up fresh pineapple, I will use ham instead to make it a "Hawaiian" style pasta salad.
