Sweet Almonds

Finally... I succeeded at making this snack! Always felt jealous that you can buy the unhealthy option, which is full of sugar (if only!)  unfortunately :( So decided to make my own version. Nothing easier!

INGREDIENTS:

Almonds
Honey
Cinnamon

METHOD:

Place almonds, honey and cinnamon ( I used lots of cinnamon) in a bowl and mix well. Spread the almonds on baking sheet on a tray or oven proof dish and put in the oven heated to 200C fan. Bake for about 20 minutes, checking if they don't burn :) After taking it out of the oven seperate them from paper, best on a plate, put aside to chill. Enjoy! They taste like heaven!

Barley and Mushroom Burgers

These delicious burgers were inspired by one of the other bloggers :)

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup pearl barley (before cooking)
250g mushrooms
1 big onion
1 big carrot
salt, pepper, cumin
fresh dill
2 garlic cloves
wheat bran or wheat germ
2 eggs
olive oil
wholewheat flour
coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
Cook pearl barley as instructed on the box. In a frying pan heat up  some coconut oil, add mushrooms, onion, carrot and garlic and fry for 5 mins. Then add the veggies to still warm barley, add spices, eggs, wheat bran, olive oil and flour. Add more flour if needed until satisfying consistency (until they won't fall apart), mix well. Form burgers.

Fry on coconut oil, on each side.

I served them with curry quinoa (previous recipe) and salad.

Bon apetite!

Curry Quinoa

Hey guys!

I know, I know... I haven't updated my blog for a while but trying to find some time for even rest between work, gym, few video blogs, home (cleaning, cooking and washing etc :)) is really difficult. I know though that some of you like to have a recipe on here instead of a video on Youtube so I'll do my best to put the recipes up on here :)


Here's a recipe for a very easy, very quick to prepare curry quinoa which you can eat with either veggie dishes or fish or meat. Doesn't take long to prepare and it's absolutely delicious. Some people don't fancy plain quinoa as they say it's too bland so that's a great option for them :)

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup of quionoa, rinsed with water
3 cups of water
1 onion, diced
curry powder, black pepper, salt (himalayan or sea salt)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Put all ingredients into a pan, cover and cook on medium heat until the water is absorbed.

Bon apetite!
