Day 22 Look What I Found At Pick n’ Pay? Willy’s Cacao
Had only seen this on television when they were running the series on how Willy started with his business and the struggles they had and now here it is in sunny Cape Town.
Day 19 Pancakes With Just 2 Ingredients
So the internet has been going crazy about making pancakes or flapjacks as we would call them, with just 2 ingredients. Well first of all I thought it was just a lot of rubbish because how can just those 2 ingredients make anything as stable as a pancake?
So the recipe goes like this: slice one ripe banana into a bowl and mash the banana up, break two eggs into the mashed banana and mix well or beat or just put everything into a blender and pulse until mixed. Either spray your frying pan with a non-stick cooking spray, some coconut oil or a knob of good old butter would do the trick too. Get your pan nice and hot and then drop spoonfuls into the pan, as soon as it is browned turn it over and repeat on the other side, just takes a minute or two.
Well, I tried it and it does work, a little thinner than our good old flapjacks but not bad at all, the mixture produced 6 pancakes. The texture is much lighter and a little different but a great recipe for anyone on a diet or on the banting diet. I think it could be tweaked with the addition of some desiccated coconut or some almond flour but I am sure with a bit of imagination this recipe could be tweaked in any direction.
Try it and enjoy.
Day 15 A Cauliflower And Broccoli Oven Bake
I am always trying to rethink vegetables and how to make them more enticing or different so today decided it would be good to do a curried oven bake with cauliflower, broccoli, onion, red peppers, curry powder, chilli flakes and olive oil. Hope it turns out good :)
