I don't like to cook but I have a simple and quick breakfast add on:

Cinnamon toast{ spread butter to your liking, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon and a teaspoon of sugar or as I use a sweetener toaster oven until golden brown. Add a cup of coffee or your favorite drink and that's it.

Carob Banana Bread or Cake

I think this is mostly gluten free but not sure about bananas so maybe other fruits like dates might work (pitted)

Here is a list of supposedly gluten free foods https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/safe-gluten-free-food-list-unsafe-foods-amp-ingredients/safe-gluten-free-food-list-safe-ingredients-r181/

Preheat oven to 325 or 350

1/2 cup carob powder - 1 3/4 cups garbanzo bean flour or other non gluten flour (if you tolerate wheat you may use wheat or whole wheat flour)- 2 tsp baking powder - 1/2 tsp baking soda if tolerate the sodium combine all those in a bowl

Beat 2 eggs with mixer then add 1 cup mashed banana, cup milk or water. (Can use 3 egg whites if you prefer less fat.)

⅓ cup olive oil or oil of your choice, can use less but cake will be drier, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, blend until creamy.

Slowly combine mixed dry ingredients with eggs and banana creamy mixture

At end you can add cups of cashews or any nuts or carob chips for a very caroby experience. Or for smoother texture add 1/4 to 1/3 cup almond butter instead of cashews. You can reduce olive oil if you like.

Oil pan, I like 9X13 because gives thinner like brownies. Use whatever size you have. Bake 30 minutes then test if done. If cooking thin layer takes less. Thicker could be 15-30 minutes longer. Insert fork in center when comes out dry then it is done.

I can never let it cool before I try a piece.

My favorite.

sugar free ice cream Carob or other

I think this is mostly gluten free but not sure about bananas so maybe other fruits like dates might work (pitted)

Here is a list of supposedly gluten free foods �https://www.celiac.com/articles.html/safe-gluten-free-food-list-unsafe-foods-amp-ingredients/safe-gluten-free-food-list-safe-ingredients-r181/

Here is my winging it recipe for ice milk with bananas and carob powder. about 4 cups in a liter. There are no strict measurements. Alter to your taste.

2 cups of milk (whatever fat level you drink) put in ice cube trays so only filled halfway then freeze them.

1/2 cup of liquid milk held aside

2/3 to 1 cup of frozen, skin removed, bananas

1/8 to a 1/4 cup of smooth almond butter according to how much fat you want. I use skim milk so I go with a 1/4 cup �

1/4 cup of carob powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

STEPS
1) Food processor the ice milk cubes until frosty snow
and empty into bowl �
2) Food processor frozen banana breaking them into smaller pieces to make it easier to puree them.
3) Add almond butter, vanilla, and 1/2 cup milk to pureed frozen banana and puree all ingredients till smooth.
4) Add carob powder to puree in food processor.
5) Cover carob powder with frosty snow that is in separate bowl and blend in food processor until all ingredients mixed. �
6) Taste and adjust anything by adding if needed (sweetener for instance)
7) Serve immediately and put uneaten portion into the freezer is some kind of container. I just thought it might be okay to use the ice cube trays and then you take out as many cubes as you want after they are frozen and let sit out till soft or for impatient eaters, defrost in microwave for 20-30 seconds. If you put in a large container you may have to microwave for a minute or two to cut into pie shaped slices or scoop out. Break apart pieces uneaten and refreeze.

Let me know how this sounds.

@Lauren63 wow lauren this sounds like a rich treat. Thanks for sharing

Worked for a side dish at Christmas @soulsings

@Lauren63 nice

@Lauren63

Lauren that sounds heavenly for a special day! Can I exchange the chicken soup with vegetable broth as I am vegetarian or does it change the taste of the dish completely?

@amiablePeace77 I would say it would be better to use a cream soup. Say cream of mushroom. Would that work? If not try it, Theres no calories! 🤓

@Lauren63

that's a good idea Lauren, I'll give it a shot, love mushrooms anyway

Sweet Potatoe Pudding

2 big sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in cubes, 1 big onion cut in cubes, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 Tbsp margarine, 1 Tbsp browning, 1 Tbsp (or more or less ) hot pepper sauce (not a must though), 1/4 tsp cloves, 1 Tbsp mixed italian herbs

put all in a blender and blend very fine

transfer into bowl which can take heat and put it into a bigger pot (it has to stand on a steaming rack or just metal cookie moulds, it works if you do not have steamer), pot needs to be closed

steam for about 1 hour, it should have the consistency of a paste.

serve with cucumber slices and onions marinaded in lemon or lime juice with hot pepper sauce

ENJOY

@amiablePeace77

Yumm. I would like to try. Your cooking is so nice.

@soulsings

Those pancakes are heavenly! Never thought they turn out so fluffy particularly since I used whole wheat and chick pea flour. Thanks for this great recipie!

@amiablePeace77 yes the eggs really make it fluffy and light. I beat the egg whites with a whip and that helps and combine all ingredients with a hand whip .

@soulsings

I forgot to beat the egg white but still they turned out awesome. Thanks for mentioning it so that I can do it next time. It's a great way for me to get tasty protein

,@amiablePeace77 looks like success 👍😊!

Â

@amiablePeace77 I'm going to try making this. It looks so good.

@Goldcherry2113

I find it's really yummy, let me know how you liked it

Emergency bread

1lb self-raising flour (4 cups cake flour)

1 teaspoon salt

2 oz margarine (1/4 cup)

1/2 pint milk (-ish)

Method

Mix flour & salt, rub in margarine

Add the milk & mix to a soft dough (add a little extra milk if mixture seems dry & won't bind)

Shape lightly & place into a 1lb loaf tin & cover with tin foil (or place another 1lb loaf tin on top & clip the two together using bulldog clips)

Bake in the middle of a moderate oven 180C or 325F, gas mark 3, for about an hour

Hopefully, you'll end up with a tasty, soft, cake-like bread and not a house-brick

@cal1860 thanks for that recipe.

If you do not have margarine you can substitute andy kind of vegetable oil.

@cal1860

Cal, thank you so much for sharing this recipie, will try. Could this work with different kind of flours too like mixing whole wheat and chickpea for example?

@cal1860 what I was wondering if some kind of leavening would raise the bread. Like baking powder or yeast.

I have made bread without leavening before and ended up with a brick

easy sauteed onion rings and fried mushrooms

1 large or 2 medium onions -Turn onion on its side. Slice off both ends. Slice off 1/4-3/8 inch strips (I like sweet ones) I punch out the "rings" so I get circular onion rings. You can use centers too.

Slice 8 oz raw mushrooms into 3/8" inch stips

Combine 1 beaten egg + 1/2 cup milk or water + 2 Tbsp 1/2 Cup Flour + dash salt, onion powder, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp soy sauce [to kick it up add a dash of cayenne or hot sauce]

Make batter smooth. If too thick add milk or water for less coating. If too thin add flour and combine again for thicker coating.

Heat pan to 375 and coat bottom with non burning oil like Canola or Sesame oil

Dunk pieces of onion iin batter using tongs and let excess batter drain off

Put pieces in pan. when finished cook 3 minutes then turn over and cook 3 minutes on other side

Cool one and try one and see if done to your taste.

Remove from pan when done and put on toweling or paper bag to absorb excess oil.

Bon appetit (enjoy)

Green Banana Kebab

Take 4 medium sized organic green banana, any type, I use West Indian Banana, because its our local one but you can use others too.

Wash banana properly, cut top and tail off

Steam or boil until soft

Let cool down and take of peel (keep peel for next recipie see below)

Put banana into blender and

add

1 TB curry powder, 1 garlic clove, salt to taste (I hardly use salt), 1 TB oil if wanted you can add cumin powder and cardamom, hot sauce (basically the spices you like)

mix in blender until everything is properly combined and you get a paste (you might have to add a little water)

put into a bowl

chop 1 medium sized onion and add to mixture (for texture), if you have chopped fresh cilantro leaves

make small balls or flat burgers and fry until golden brown

goes well with a vegetable curry and paratha roti

Green Banana Peel Burger

Take the peel from the kebab above or you can use washed fresh green banana peel

Use a spoon to take off the white banana coating so that only peel is left (you can use this paste for compost or face mask). This step is required so that the burger does not taste like banana.

With a fork cut peel lengthwise in stripes, option use knive

chop into pieces

add 1 medium sizes chopped onion, 1 egg white

mix with barbeque sauce, hot sauce or any spices you like, salt to taste

add whole wheat flour, chickpea flour or any flour you like (optionally soaked soja granulates)

to get a dough, form burger

fry until golden brown

Vegan bacon

4 green banana

3 Tbsp Braggs amino acid or soy sauce

1 Tb vegan oyster sauce, molasses or maple syrup

tsp vegan liquid smoke or smoked paprika

2-3 Tbsp oil (virgin olive oil, canola oil) use an oil which can take higher temperatures, if you use virgin olive oil avoid going to smoking point

1 clove crushed garlic or tsp garlic powder

- Rinse bananas. Peel them. Slice or tear each banana peel into 4 strips lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape off the white inside part of the peel, if white is left they will taste like banana and not bacon.

- In a dish large enough to hold your banana peels, mix braggs soy sauce,vegan oyster sauce or maple syrup, vegan liquid smoke and crushed garlic, which is your marinade. Add peel to marinade and toss to coat. Let peels marinade at room temperature for at least 10 minutes, but a few hours are even better.

- When ready to cook bacon, heat oil over medium in a large skillet or fry pan. I use a grill pan. Add peels and fry each a couple of minutes per side until they turn golden and the skin bubbles. I used a pair of tongs to pick up a peel and turn it over. Be Careful not to burn them!

- Enjoy with a big salad made with lettuce, tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumber, grated carrots (whatever you like) and lentil sprouts (recipe to sprout lentils to follow)

@lampapaya @GeorgieUK

How to sprout lentils

If you do not have a sprouting kit, just use a rectangular or square strainer (small mesh) and put it into any plastic container, so that water can run off. Cover with any kind of lid or a kitchen towel.

In my opinion sprouts grow better when kept dark, so I cover my sprouting kid with a kitchen towel.

How to:

Soak 30 gr of green lentils in water overnight, rinse

Cover strainer bottom with kitchen paper (like Bounty or what you have, cheese cloth works too)

In the morning - Add lentils, cover

In the eve - Rinse strainer with lentils

Do step 1 and 2 for 3 or 4 days or longer. You can eat the lentils when they have small sprouts or leave them in longer like for example 5 or 6 days and get microgreens. Just take them out of the strainer, rinse thoroughly and eat raw or add to stir fry. They keep fresh in a container for up to 1 week.

They will have a nice nutty taste and are healthy and delicious for salads.

@amiablePeace77 great idea ami.

I hear in the dark does nice sprouts but if you want them a little greener a few days after they sprouted in the sun makes them greener.

@soulsings

Never thought about that but makes sense. Will try because I prefer to get the microgreen. Thank you!
