Green smoothie

I like to have healthy smoothies, so i often add some ingredients that arent normal to add =p This one taste very neutral and un-specified (dunno if thats a good or bad thing xD) but i like the color of it! =D It is again very thick consistency, so if you decide to make it and want it more liquid then add more liquid =p

Ingredients i used:
4 (frozen) strawberries
1 frozen chopped spinach ball-thingy
1 orange
1 banana
1 pear
2 pieces of cauliflower (dunno what its called)
4-5 cm cucumber

Blend it and tadaaaa: you got something green drinkable (or eatable by spoon again xD)

Cabbage rolls

I bought some cabbage or something (nykàl, dunno correct translation) since someone told me it's very yummy so i wanted to test it out, then i was thinking what to do with it, and i dunno where i came up with the idea, but i kinda wanted to make cabbage rolls, so i searched around on the net to find out how to make something like this (including how to make spring rolls and summer rolls xD). I'm too lazy to link the bunch of sites i visited since i doubt anyone click the links anyway, so i'll just post the recipe =p And yes it's created by me since i didn't really follow any specific recipe, i just looked for inspiration xD I first tried something raw, but figured something was missing and i think that something would be that everything needed to be heated xD So yes, heat it!

The recipe is for what i used/had, if you use other ingredients, or more, or less, or non of something it doesn't really matter i guess =p

Cabbage rolls

Ingredients:
Cabbage leafs (preferable big and whole ones, 1 cabbage leaf for each cabbage roll, i think i used like 3 or 4 xD)
1 carrot, chopped in long, thin pieces like matches
0,5 onion, chopped in long, thin pieces
1 clove garlic, chopped in long, thin pieces
1 dl chickpeas (i used frozen ones, if you use dry ones you must soak them overnight and boil them for a while first)
0,5 dl frozen chopped spinach (i guess fresh chopped spinach works good aswell =p)
Soy sauce to taste
1/4 cucumber, chopped in long, thin pieces
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped in long thin pieces
Fresh basil, chopped

Fry the carrot, onion and garlic in oil until soft, add chickpeas, spinach and soy sauce and stir for a couple of minutes. Take off the heat and add the cucumber, red bell pepper and basil and mix it. You can taste it if it's enough soy sauce, if not, then add more ^.^
Meanwhile heat/boil some water and soak the cabbage leafs for some minutes (maybe 5?) until they are soft.
Try to shake off the water from the cabbage leafs (or just dry them or let them dry) and place the mixture on it and roll it together and eat if they aren't too hot =p Njam njam njam =D

 

 

Enjoy ^.^

Some dinner i had =p

I've been sick since Sunday now (throat infection or something) so i have been weak and tired, and it hurts in my throat when i swallow, so haven't been posting a lot lately and i haven't been cooking a lot lately either, but i looked through the pictures i have taken earlier and i found a picture of my dinner last Tuesday, so i guess it's time to post it =p

I had been working at a place kinda far away from home (30 min with car or 1 hour 30 min with bus xD), so i asked my bf if he could make some dinner for me, and he cooked up some potatoes and chopped some zucchini and peeled some carrots, so i used that in a mix with onion, bell pepper, cucumber, salad, tomato, and a frozen mix with peas, cauliflower and more carrots. Worked out pretty well with soy sauce on top of course ^.^

Cauliflower-thingy xD

Last night i was fooling around on internet and i found this recipe: Raw cauliflower couscous

So for breakfast this morning i decided to make something similar since i had a cauliflower that needed to be used soon =p

The ingredients i used are:
Cauliflower
Cucumber
Cherry-tomatoes (or normal ones)
Sun dried tomatoes
Zucchini (optional)
Salad
Soy sauce

But of course you can skip some ingredients or add some =p Use what you got ;)

I putted the cauliflower in the food processor until it has a couscous-like consistency (actually it was until the cauliflower stopped spinning rofl xD) Then i fried the zucchini a bit on each side in oil (i guess you dont need to do this if you like raw zucchini). Then i chopped the cucumber and tomatoes and salad and added everything on my plate and putted soy sauce on top ^.^

I forgot to take picture of the first plate, but plate 2 i remembered, but then i had no zucchini and salad left, but it was still yummy! =D maybe even more yummy =p I will definitely make this again if i have more cauliflower to be used ^.^
