Quinoa veggie stuffed sweet baby bells.

You meet the nicest people when out and about. This is one of my favourite things to make, its high in protein and about 20 times more potassium than a ton of bananas. I grow my own sweet baby bells, they're slightly sweet an lack the acid of their larger kin. This is the Vegan Gluten Free version, feel free to mix it up if you have your own types of broths or butters. 1 cup dry quinoa 2 cups water 2 tablespoons veggie broth (better than bouillon) 2 tablespoons smart balance vegan butter tsp coarse sea salt 2 tsp coarse black pepper 2 lbs sweet baby bells 1 Roma tomato small dice 1 Zucchini small dice 1/4 eggplant small dice 1 tablespoon turmeric (brilliant for brain function and colour) Marinara sauce ( recipe for fresh or homemade can come later) Begin by cutting the tops off of the baby bells, remove seeds and cut around the stem. Set the meat around the stem aside. place two cups of water, quinoa, add the broth, pepper, salt, turmeric, zucchini, eggplant, tomato, bring it to a boil then cover and reduce heat to low. Place the peppers on a pan and roast them for about five minutes at 425. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool to touch. Spoon the now soft quinoa/ veggie mixture into the peppers place the marinara in a shallow pan or roaster stand the peppers up in the marinara and bake again for about 7 minutes. The short bake time allows the peppers and sauce to get warm but not dry out the quinoa on the top. Serve and enjoy. Great as a snack or a small meal. Cheers Thanks for the brilliant time shipmate.

Zucchini Bread for Mir.

Hello there, so you're looking for some sort of recipe for Zucchini Bread eh. I do hope its healthy. Mine would generally be gluten free but this one I'm going to do whole wheat or non bleached. I really fancy organic flours. Cheers 3 c flour, organic whatever you can find. I know your markets differ. pinch salt, I like Salish or the Himalayan big pinch cinnamon, don't be shy its good for sugar levels and metabolism big pinch of nutmeg .5 cup of sugar of your choice or mashed nanas .5 cup apple sauce, so if your da has an apple tree go press or food process some apples and voila you've got apple sauce. lemon zest and juice couple eggs or omit, you can add a banana if you like 2 cup grated zucchini nuts or no nuts, i like using cran or other bits 1tsp soda and 1tsp bake powder Mix dry and wet separately then Combine Heat oven to 350 25-30 or until it looks done.

French Macaroons for Miranda

Ingredients 6 egg whites room temp .5 cup castor sugar, you know the white C&H stuff 3 1/3 pow sugar , its so fluffy I want to live in a cloud of powdered sugar. 2 cups finely ground almonds (almond meal is easy too) Place the egg whites in a bowl and mix until frothy. You can use a stand or hand mixer too this is much easier. Beat in the castor sugar until it forms nice peaks. Sift the powdered sugar and almond meal in another bowl Quickly fold it into the the egg and sugar mixture until properly mixed, (don't over mix though) sing the abc's slowly and it should be mixed properly. Here's the fun part Put a few spoon fulls of batter in a piping bag and see if your batter is ready Pipe a wee bit on a baking sheet about an inch to an inch and half across . If this bit of batter holds a peak, return all of it to the bowl and mix some more. You want the batter to flatten immediately. If the batter looks like meringue you need a bit more folding. If the batter is ready, return it to the piping bag with a round attachment and pipe little rounds evenly spaced on your baking sheet IMPORTANT Leave those piped rounds out for an hour or two, let them form a hard skin Preheat your oven to 290 bake them until they are just set not darkened Brown=bad 8-10 minutes really depends on the oven For coloured macaroons add a few drops of natural food colouring to your egg mixture Bon Appétit
