Johnny cakes

WOW I've found an such easy recipe. An Antillean a recipe: Johnny cakes.

It's looks like little breadballs and you can fill them with everything you like.

Only you must frie them. So it's not 100% healthy.

But this is how I make them.

What you'll need:

1 pound of spelled flour 

1 tbsp baking powder 

1 tsp salt 

1 tbsp grape sugar 

200 ml of water 

flaxseed oil for frying

Mix all the dry ingridients together with a spoon. Add the water to it and knead into a dough.

Let it rest for 15 minutes.

Make little balls of the dough en squeeze it flat, so you get a little cookie form.

Heat the oil on 170 degrees and fry them till they are brown.

Let them cool down and you can stuff them with everything you like!

TAG: pregnancy questions

Yeah I've found apregnancy tag on madebymalou her blog. How great is that?
After a time of silence because I had to visit the hospital a lot and Last week I was laying in the hospital it's time for a new blogpost. So I start with this one. A tag with pregnancy questions :D.
Enjoy!!!




How many weeks are you now?

35 weeks and 3 days.

How much did you gained weight?

Les then 10 kg's

Maternity Clothing?

I've got 3 jeans. They are comphy but I can't wait to wear my own jeans again. I still fit in my own shirts, skirts or dresses. And I still can wear some jeans of mine (with a lot of stretch in it)

Striae?

Upper legs but I've got them allready.

Sleep?

What is sleep? I feel like a zombie. last week I've layed in the hospital and I get medication so I can sleep for one night. I had really bad cramps. Later they figured out it where contractions. And I had already one centimeter dilated. But that does not mean the baby will arrive very soon. But the cramps get worse by the day and I can't sleep because of that. "So sleep deprived that I am unhappy, tired, confused and pissed off all at the same time. I also look like a zombie so my life is complete."

Beste moments of the week?

Damn this one is hard. because I must rest very often and I'm in pain the most of the time. But I guess the best moments are when my hubby is at home and chear me up and take care of me. He's just the sweetest!

Worst moments of the week?

Hospital visits and pain...

Do you miss something?

Do I need to say more?

Movement?

Not much that's the reason i must visit the hospital so often so they can check up my baby heartbeat.

Food cravings?

Ice, ice, ice and more ice. icecubes, icecream, waterice, slush puppies... Just be cold... I want it!!!

Is there something that makes you feel sickt?

At the beginning of my pregnancy I can't stand the smell of rice or coffee. And now I don't have that any more. I don't know what I think that makes me feel blegh...

Gender?

Just wait a couple of weeks and you will find out!

Ailments?

Bump pain. I've got that my whole pregnancy. My bump is to small for the baby. Well sh*t happends.

At the beginning I was nauseous a lot and my toilet was my best friend.

And now it's the contractions. But just a couple of weeks to go.

Belly button in or out?

Since I removed my piercing: out....

Happy or grumpy?

Most of the time grumpy. because of the pain and bad sleep. But I try to be happy....

Looking forward to?

When i can hold my little baby..

Just came out allready!!!!!

spiced cauliflower from the oven

I love cauliflower and not only with cooked patatoes. 

This recipe is very simple and it's such a yummy snack for the evenings.

Preheat the oven on 200 degrees.

What you need is some, olive oil, cauliflower and cajun spices and chilli spices.

I've dipped the cauliflower in the olive oil because the seasoning will stick well on it. If you con't like so much seasoning put the seasoning on it first and then a little bit of olive oil.

Bake this in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Serve with your favourite dip.

Patatoes from the oven

I've wanted to post this recipe for a very long time.

It's been a while that I've made these.

This is also an easy recipe only it takes some time when the patatoes are done.

The only thing you need is:

Some patatoes

olive oil

pepper and salt

Preheat the oven on 220 degrees.

Scrub the potatoes and cut out any black spots.Cut the potatoes crosswise in. (see picture)

It's like you sliced ​​the patato, but make sure you do not cut all the way through.

Cover the potatoes with olive oil.

Bake the patatoes in 40minutes, till they are crunchy and brown. If you've gor big patatoes it could be you must bake them a couple of minutes longer.

Seasoning it with some pepper and salt.

Home made Bounty candy bar

We all know the sweet candy chocolate bar bounty. It takes us to a magicall place with white sand beaches, palmtrees and a bleu see.
Now the summer is nearly here a bounty snack taste good with this feeling. Sitting by a pool dreaming away.
Well I must say dream on. There are no white beaches or palmtrees here where I live. Haha.
But how much I love the taste of a tropical coconut, this bounty snack is not that healthy.
So I've made one of my own.

What you've need:
1cup shredded coconut
some drops of stevia
2 tbsp coconut oil
and I've used 80% cacoa chocolate melted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
silicone ice mold

Combine the shredded coconut, coconut oil, stevia and vanilla extract together.
Press the filling into the ice mold. Freeze this about 30minutes.
Meanwhile melt the chocolate. I've put the chocolate into a little plactic bag and put this in hot water.
Pop the harded coconut treats out of the mold and dip this into the melted chocolate.
Put them back in to the fridge.

Stuffed Brasilian avocado

Are you ready for the world cup 2014??? Well I am. Wich country do you think that's gonna win?

4 years ago we were facing Spain in the finals. I'm curious who's going to win now.

2 tbsp breadcrumbs

2 tsbp olive oil

25 grams of mixed nuts (unsalted)

Bbq time!

It's warm, hot, sunny so time to make it cozy and put the bbq on.

1 of the fave things of bbq is my home made special chicken sate.

It's not normal chicken sate it's made with love whahaha.

Just kidding.

Just cut the chicken in pieces and season with chicken herbs and gingerbread spices.

Yes you have read that right with gingerbread spices.

You can put them on the grill or bbq. And believe me people love this combination.

Just give it a try.
