Hi there. Love to cook? Share your recipes here.

Blueberry pancakes �

3 egg whites beaten till frothy

add 1/8 cups yogurt

combine and add scant 1/4 cup of whole wheat or other flour + dash of nutmeg + 1/2 tsp baking powder

Add 2 Tbsps of Olive Oil

add 1/2 banana peeled and diced

add 1/2 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

dash salt if desired

Combine all above with whip or mixer - batter should be thick as cake batter. If not add little more flour

Cook in electric fry pan 300 degrees F with a coating of canola oil for 5-7 minutes per side or less for thinner pancakes. Rule of thumb when all the bubbles burst, it is time to flip and cook on the 2nd side. If using stovetop, cook low to medium heat so do not burn pancakes

Bon appetit! Enjoy!

Pickled Watermelon Rind laugh

Cut your melon and remove the red melon flesh (for eating later).

Trim the green part of the rind and discard. You are left with the white part which might still have a little red flesh on it, that's okay.

Cut the white flesh into stripes.

Heat 2 cups of water with 1 cup of vinegar of your choice, add your favorite spices (I use 1 Tb asian seasoning and 4 one portion packets of stevia).

Add water melon rind

Simmer for abt. 5 min.

Put the rind in a clean jar and fill up with the liquid, make sure your spices are added.

Close jar and let cool down. Refrigerate. Ready to eat after 1 week (if you can't wait after 2 days cheeky)

Enjoy!

Recipe for High Hat Popovers: Decide what kind of cups or pans you will use. For highest popovers I use a commercial popover pan but I do not have nonstick https://www.amazon.com/Bellem.../dp/B00WX9KKTW/ref=sr_1_9.... If you are using oven proof well oiled or buttered cups instead of pan, fill them only half full and reduce cooking time if they get too dark.

Move upper rack to lover position with 9-10 inch clearance from broiler coil or top of oven whichever is lower. Preheat oven to 475 and check with oven thermometer. Beat with whip 5 Jumbo Egg Whites and 2 yolks until frothy. Add dash of salt or pinch of salt and 1 cup of milk (I use nonfat). Whip. Add a little at a time, 1 cup of white flour (whole wheat flour makes them heartier but not as wispy) whipping gently. Batter should have small lumps. Do NOT overbeat or they will be more like cake. Electric beaters overbeat so I use a whip. I use either Pam oil spray or I put on Canola oil with pastry brush coating inside and top of cups or pan. Fill the cups (1/2 full) or popover pan with lip (3/4 full) and put in 450 degree oven for up to 20 minutes (popover pan) or 15 minutes for cups only 1/2 full. If viewing window check that popovers are not too dark. If you open door for more than a second, popovers may fall. Turn temp to 350 and leave in 15-20 minutes depending on how dark they are. Remove when done. Popovers should easily come out of pan or cups. Serving warm is how I like them best, but leftover popovers can be kept in sealed bag in refrigerator and heated in toaster oven, NOT microwave if want firm popovers. Enjoy!

Candied Sweet and Spicy Bacon, you need a dehydrator. Fantastic! The smell alone makes it worth making!

Prep: 12 hours 10 minutes

Dehydrate: 6 hours

10 strips of bacon cut in half. 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons garlic chili sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons mirin (rice wine vinegar).

Combine all ingredients into a bowl until well mixed. Place the cut bacon and marinade into a sealable plastic bag mix well. Marinate in the fridge for 12 hours or overnight. Place the bacon evenly between the deydrator trays. Dry at 165 degrees for 6 hours or until done.

Also google japanese pancakes these too go great together!

@Nickie2442, Thank goodness I don't have a dehydrator because that recipe sounds so good. I would definitely make it and I'm on a diet. I've lost 70 pounds so far.

@purpleTree4652 you are well on your way. The hardest thing is to maintain the determination to keep on the same habit as one had on the reducing part of it.

For me the maintaining is even harder than the losing part. I try to get my mental habits in place so I am not feeling deprived. When I eat, I think with gratitude on all that have been responsible to bring the food to my table. Rather than focus on sacrifice I focus on gratitude. It helps me when I get into maintenance mode.

purpleTree4652 April 2nd, 2021

@soulsings, yes, the gratitude is important. So you've lost weight, too? I try to look at food as just fuel. It doesn't really matter that it isn't some super delicious item. It just matters that it is healthy fuel that will keep me going to the next meal.

Vegan Mousse Au Chocolat 😋

5 portion packets stevia sweetener or any sweetener you like

Mix well by hand or with blender

Optional: Top with berries or any fruit you like and a Little chocolate syrup

That's it 😁 - Enjoy

@amiablePeace77 nice easy recipe. A sub for chocolate is Carob. Use same amount but probably need less sweetener because Carob is not so bitter as chocolate.

Ami's Crackers laugh

2/3 cup of whole wheat flour

1/3 cup of white flour (or also whole wheat flour)

1/3 cup of lentil flour

2 TBsp of seeds (example chia) (optional)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp or less salt (optional)

optional spices: I use 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp majoram/thympe mix

1 cup of water (or more)

Mix all together thoroughly to get a very smooth paste which can be easily spread on a lined baking sheet (18 x 13)

Bake at abt. 200 C (400 F) for about 25 minutes. Test if middle part is crispy, if not bake a little longer or just leave dough in switched off oven until cool down.

You can now break them into pieces and enjoy as snack in between or with a meal.

If you have any ideas for modification of this recipie please share here laugh

@amiablePeace77 I like this idea of making crackers.

One person that did this baked for 10 minutes and then took out and made grooves in the flour and then put back in the over for 20+ minutes like you said to make sure crisps in the middle.

Making dark chocolate

Hi everyone, this is not a special recipie, actually very basic but I thought I share it with you so those who can't take any diary products like milk or simply prefer sugar free chocolate can do their own treat. Having a small piece every night provided health conditions allow it, can be healthy.

So, here we go

4 TB of dark, 100 % natural and unsweetened, preferably cholesterol free chocolate powder
Stevia sweetener powder to taste
Enough organic coconut oil to make a thick but still liquid paste

Mix

Pour into icecube trays (the ones for very small ice cubes or simply poor on a freezer proof plate) , freeze for 30 min.
et voila laugh

You can keep chocolate in fridge after freezing.
