Low Carb Soy Flour Pasta/Noodles | Yikes! No Carbs Please! I found this wonderful recipe to make soy pasta during one of my google searches for low carb recipes on a German forum for owners of a wonder kitchen multitask machine – it can do almost everything under the sun and is called Thermomix. If I were just starting out and had a bare kitchen and that kind of money to spare, this looks like a great thing to have. Well, unfortunately, I can’t afford the machine (the new model costs over €900) but I nevertheless tried the recipe. Or rather, I took the ingredients and used my own method since I did not possess the machine and could not relate to the instructions. I also did not want to use my bread machine as my Low Carb Sunflower Seed Loaf made in the machine was less successful than the version made by hand! Result – I came up with some amazing low carb noodles! Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino Chinese Stir-fried Noodles I haven’t tried raviolis, tortellinis and Chinese won tons yet. First two notes of warning. Low Carb Tagliatelle 2 tsp salt
Stuffed Breakfast Peppers — What's Cooking, Mexico? I have mentioned before that for me breakfast is the most important meal of the day because: 1) my parents always made me eat breakfast before school, even if that meant waking up at 5:00 am when my first class was at 7:00 am, and 2) the health benefits of starting your day with a delicious meal are many. However, there doesn’t seem to be as many ideas for breakfast as there are for lunches and dinners out there. That’s why I am always trying to come up with new things to make my breakfasts more exciting. Because, let’s face it, if your breakfast is not exciting, it is easier to skip it or opt for a less healthier option at the drive-thru or doughnut shop.

In the past we’ve talked plenty about the health benefits of eggs and how to figure out which types of eggs to purchase, but what about cooking the perfect hard boiled egg? The fresher your eggs, the more likely it is that the shell will be difficult to peel off. Personally, our approach is to use fresh eggs, gently cook them for no more than ten minutes and then cool them quickly. Ingredients: Directions: Mix all ingredients together, stirring not too much, but just enough to make some of the avocado and egg into mush.

Brie & Bacon Brown Bread Melt The humble bacon sandwich has been reborn! Just feast your eyes on this baby, baby. Crunchy brown, wholesome bread. Rivers of rich, molten French cheese. A heart of salty, crispy bacon. What’s that drizzling out from the middle? A sweet little kiss to the bacon’s saltiness and creaminess of the cheese. To serve one (double as needed) you’ll need; Two hand cut slices of proper brown bread Four slices of brie Four slices of streaky bacon Drizzle of honey One mug of tea, one cosy blanket and one film (I suggest this one, it’s brilliant!) Make it: Start by frying your bacon, and slicing everything else up. Cover both slices of bread with cheese. Top with the cooked bacon. Drizzle in honey. Grab the pan you cooked the bacon in and get rid of most of the fat left over, keeping a little bit in the bottom. Gently sandwich together your… sandwich, and place into the pan. Top with something flat and a bit heavy, like a baking tray. Cook on a medium heat for about 2-3mins, until you see the cheese start to melt.
Eggs and Tomato Breakfast Melts I'm in love with these easy open faced breakfast sandwiches made on a whole wheat English muffin with egg whites and scallions, then topped with heirloom tomatoes and melted cheese - mmm!
