Cauliflower fried rice!

A great healthy and skinny alternative to regular fried rice!

I got the idea for this recipe from my new friend Kelly Rubin. And I loved so much the first time I made it that it has become a regular in my household since.

I love it so much because it's easy and quick to make, it tastes delicious, you can vary with many different veggies and protein and it is packed with many essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin A, antioxidants, and many more!

Ingredients serves 4
800 grams cauliflower
2 finely chopped unions
4 finely chopped garlic cloves
250 grams thinly sliced red cabbage
250 grams of grated carrot
2 hands full of freshly chopped herbs (I used cilantro and parsley)
450 grams of protein (pieces of chicken breast, shrimps, chickpeas or lentils)
100 grams of roasted seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame) or cashew nuts
Grated ginger (to your taste, I use quite a lot)
Seas salt to your taste
Pepper to your taste
4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Juice of one or two limes (according to your taste)
A bit of coconut oil to fry

Cut the cauliflower in smaller chunks and put them into your food processor until it looks like rice/couscous. Boil a pot with water and when it comes to a boil turn of the heat and put in the red cabbage to soak for 2-3 minutes. Then take it out and drain it. Put the coconut oil in a wok on high heat. When the oil is hot add the chopped unions and garlic and some salt and pepper. Stir for a few minutes. Then add the protein of your choice. Stir until the protein is cooked and add the grated carrot. And after 2 minutes add the grated ginger and the cauliflower. Stir for a few more minutes then take it off the heat. Drizzle with the olive oil, add the chopped herbs, the lime juice, the roasted seeds or cashews and some salt and pepper.

Enjoy!

What is really holding you back?

Often we have many reasons and excuses why we are not living healthy and taking proper care of ourselves. But underneath those reasons and excuses is a deeper level that many times we dont even know exists. Or even when we have the feeling there is something else that is causing our current behaviour, we are afraid to explore it and find out what is really holding us back from taking proper care of our body, mind and soul.

That level can be burried so deep inside of us and has existed for so long that it seems like it has become who we are.

BUT ITS NOT.

They are just thoughts, old beliefs and habits that we have aqcuired for many reasons. For comfort, for love, for survival, for a sense of belonging or other reasons. Dont let those limiting thoughts, beliefs and habits take over who you really are.

A great human being and beautiful soul who deserves the best in everything! And the only person who can give that you is YOU!

So don’t be afraid to explore, to dive in, to let go of fear and uncertainty of what might happen if you do get to that level and find out what has been keeping you from taking care of yourself the way you deserve. Because after rain, there is always sunshine. No matter what you can discover about yourself, no matter how much pain there might be, there is always, always a better life on the other side of that. It might be tough, it might be painful, it might uncertain, but it is there!

So I challenge you to take the step and jump into the unknown. But never do it alone, find someone to help you and to support you.

Because you deserve it!

Chia pudding 3 ways

Why I love chia:

1. Chia delivers a great amount of nutrients like fibre, omega 3 fat, calcium and magnesium and has low calories.

2. Chia has high fibre and high quality protein.

3. You can make great protein and high calcium puddings without having to use dairy

4. And most kids love it too!

5. You can vary so much with flavours and ingredients and eat them for breakfast, lunch and/or desert :)

So here three of my favorite chiapudding recipes.

1. Skinny chia pudding with mango and passion fruit

Ingredients:
2,5 tbs of Chia Seeds
1 tbs of grated coconut (if you are counting calories, this one is optional)
1/2 tsp of maple syrup
1/2 cup of low fat, unsweetened coconut drink (the one you can drink as a milk)
50 grams of mango
1/2 a passion fruit

Put all the ingredients except the mango and passion fruit in a wide glass and mix well with a fork. Put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Before taking out to eat, slice the mango in thin pieces or puree it with a hand mixer ( i like the pureed mango the best with this recipe!). Put the mango on top of the chia pudding. Cut the passion fruit in half and put in on top of the mango. If you cant find passion fruit, just mango is great too! And you can always add some chopped nuts, but it will make it higher in calories and fats (so use depending on your taste and where you are in your health journey).

2. Skinny chia pudding strawberries
Same recipe as above except with strawberry instead of mango and passion fruit. Add a bit of grated pure chocolate (at least 85%) on top of the strawberries ;)

3. Chocolate banana chiapudding
This one is a bit less "skinny", but really taste as well! Great for a healthy dessert or treat.

Ingredients:
2,5 tbs of Chia Seeds
1 tbs of grated coconut (if you are counting calories, this one is optional)
1 tsp of maple syrup (or a bit extra to your taste, just dont add too much ;))
1/2 cup of low fat, unsweetened coconut drink (the one you can drink as a milk)
1 tbsp raw cacao powder (dont use the refined one, the refining process takes eliminates all the nutrients and anti-oxidants the raw cacao has)
1/4 tsp of ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 banana
Bit of grated pure chocolate (at least 85%)
Small hand of chopped pecan nuts (almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts will do too ;))

Put all the ingredients except the banana and nuts in a wide glass and mix well with a fork. Put it in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Before taking out to eat, slice the banana and put it op top of the pudding. Then add the chopped nuts and grated pure chocolate. Enjoy!

Easy seed crackers (low carb) recipe

Ingredients for 10 servings:
1 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup flaxseed
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water
Additional Flavorings
Add up to 2 tbsp of your favorite herbs and spices. I added 1/2 tsp ground garlic, 1/2 tsp ground onion, 1 tsp dried thyme and 1 tsp dried basil.

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 170C (340F) fanbake.
2. Mix all ingredients together and leave for 10-15 minutes for the seeds to soak up the water.
3. Give everything a good stir, then split the mixture over two lined baking trays and spread thinly. The ideal thickness is about 3-4mm. Too thin and the crackers will be very fragile, too thick and they'll be more like a seed cookie than a cracker.
4. Bake for one hour (switching the trays around halfway through), or until golden brown and crisp. If they don't feel crisp after an hour, return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, allow to cool, then break into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Great with your favorite (homemade) hummus, veggiespreads, cottage cheese and/or avocado!

3 things I'm grateful for right now:

1. That I am woman that I am
Because when I became a mom the first time I believed I was only good enough if I would give my everything to my child and to my career. I neglected a lot of myself and my personal needs for a long time and then I would either beat myself up about it when I did not feel good or compensate it with bad habits. Thankfully after a few hard lessons I learned how to acknowledge who I am, what I really need and how to take care of that in a busy life without feeling guilt towards others.

2. My beautifull family
Because, together with myself, they are the most important thing to me in the world!

3. That we are healthy, happy, financially stable & surrounded by lots of love
Because I truly feel that nothings else matters if we are not healthy, happy and loved. Especially now in this weird Corona time. Money is definately not the most important thing, but I feel very thankful that we do not have to worry about it even now when so many others are in a less fortunate situation.

What are you grateful for?

Easy roasted aubergine with yoghurt curry sauce and pomegranate seeds. Based on roasted aubergine recipe but with my own twist 😉.

Great for lunch and dinner and goes well with salads, (fried) rice, couscous or quinoa and your favorite protein.

Recipe serves 2-4:
2 aubergines
1/3 cup olive oil
Leaves and stems with leaves of thyme
Sea salt and pepper
1 pomegranate

Sauce:
1 cup of organic Greek or goat yoghurt (you could make it vegan by using plain soy yoghurt, but then I would recommend
Adding some lemon juice)
1 1/2 tbsp of quality extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp of honey
1/2 tsp of vadouvan spices
1 tbsp of curry powder
A bit of fresh, chopped cilantro (to taste, I really like cilantro du use more)
Pinch of seasalt

Preheat the oven at 220 degrees Celsius. Put all the sauce ingredients together, stir wel and set aside. Cut the aubergine in half (horizontally) and make 3-4 incisions horizontally and then another 3-4 incisions vertically with a sharp knife so you get a square pattern in the aubergine. Spread the olive oil evenly over the four half’s with a kitchen brush. Then add a good amount of salt and pepper. And then on top the thyme leaves and stems. Put it in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Decide the yoghurt sauce evenly over the four baked aubergine halfs (there should be plenty of sauce on each one!). Finish of by sprinkling the pomegranate seeds on top of the sauce.

Enjoy and have great stay@home Easter everyone!

I made my first sourdough bread this weekend! 95% gluten-free! used the recipe from except that I made it with traditional sourdough starter that contains rye. I did not have the ingredients to make the gluten-free one. And I did not have brown rice flour so I used teff flour instead. But the result was delicious!

The crust was perfectly crisp and the inside soft. And with lots of flavor! I was really amazed and please with the outcome. Although it takes a bit of time and patience, I definitely recommend trying it sometime. It’s fun to do, it tastes great, your house smells like fresh baked bread and it’s a nutritious bread with none of the bad stuff regular bread can contain.

Have you ever tried making your own bread? Would love to hear recipes and experiences!
