As one picture tells more than 1000 words...

1: put to bowl some green lettuce, add a little olive oil, pinch of salt and pepper and mix. Put slices of tomato to bowl as picture.

2: add cooked pasta on lettuce.

3: add grated carrots and mushrooms (you can cook them few minutes in oil if you like and spice as you like).

4: add sliced cucumber and corn.

5: put on salad 2 boiled eggs, each cutted to 4 parts, add some salt and pepper (or other spices&herbs you prefer).

As you can see, salad is very simple but looks nicer when different incredients are layered by they own. And of course, using different vegetables you will get again new kind of salad.
 
Chocolate Balls

1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (~100 g) butter
1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla sugar (if you don't have it, use regular sugar and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon cold coffee
3/4 to 1 cup rolled or quick-cooking oats

Some unsweetened coconut flakes
Some pearl sugar

Mix all ingredients, except the oats, together in a mixing bowl either by hand or with a wooden spoon. Add just enough oats to the mixture to allow you to form it into balls. Form the paste into 1.5-inch balls and roll them in either the coconut flakes or pearl sugar. Store the balls in a lidded container in the freezer. They're best eaten slightly thawed but still very cold.

* you can also dip balls in melted chocolate and decorate them:

4 portions

200 gram cookie crumbs or dry cake crumbs

Whip the cream together with the sugar until light. Moisten the cookie or cake crumbs with juice.

Place the ingredients in layers (crumbs, jam and whipped cream) into dessert dishes or a bowl. Cover the dessert dishes or bowl with plastic wrap and place into the fridge for preferably 2 – 3 hours before serving.

Healthy Pizza
Extremely Simple and Yummy!!


291hwqs-1.jpg


Preheat oven to 450 degrees
I took a flour tortilla and thinly sliced a tomato (sometimes it requires 2) and layed them on the tortilla in a circular fashion.
Then sprinkle mozarella cheese and a pinch of oregeno and basil on top .
For topping just add anything that you like
I added chopped spinach, olives, grilled chicken ,minced onions and mushroom.

Then place it in the oven and let cook until the tortilla gets a nice golden brown color around its edges.
and viola you have a yummy pizza :D
