Healthy Calzone!

Before I started eating healthy I loved the calzones from breadtalk! Well technically they're the only calzones I've ever eaten haha. Haven't had them in soo long! Anyway calzones are like inverted pizzas. The fillings are inside the dough instead of on top. Kinda like pizza pockets! 

Made these for dinner yesterday and they were sooo delicious! Though I think what pasta/pizza sauce and cheese you use makes a difference. I used organic roasted pepper pasta sauce from the brand 'naturel'. I think their basil one is nicer though! Oh and I marinated my chicken with smoked paprika before I baked it.

Papaya Pancakes

Hello and Happy Saturday! These papaya coconut pancakes are made using only 3 ingredients: papaya, eggs and coconut flour. They are paleo, gluten free, added sugar free, dairy free and really yummy. First time cooking with papaya and I'm really pleased with how these turned out. 

When I was younger I hated papaya. The big black seeds just grossed me out! Hahaha. But recently I was curious to how it tasted and decided to eat papaya for the first time in years. 

Wholemeal Cinnamon Raisin Bagels

Healthy cinnamon raisin bagels anyone?

FINALLY. I've figured out why all my recipes that use yeast have been failing. It's because 1) I'm using instant yeast. I need to use more and I don't need to proof it before baking. 2) I have been reusing the same small packet of yeast when the box states not to reuse an already opened packet. HAHA I SUCK. 

Anyway so happy these turned out right ~ I kinda forgot to add cinammon till I had made the raw bagel shapes so I just dusted cinnamon over after boiling. And I wanted to use cranberries but the cranberries in my house had added sugar and I was like nuh uh. (Does finger snap head shake thing)

Pumpkin Salmon Fried Rice

Ingredients

1/2 tbsp sesame oil

1/4 tsp minced garlic

3/4 cup cooked brown rice (leftovers taste better) 

1/2 tsp light soy sauce

1 tsp mirin

1/3 cup steamed pumpkin, chopped

80g baked salmon, flaked up (I used premarinated fillets. Garlic and herb flavour.)

1 tbsp chopped spring onion 

Method

1. Heat oil in a skillet.

2. Sauté minced garlic. Add in brown rice, mirin, soy sauce and fry. 

3. Turn off fire and add in remaining ingredients. Combine everything together. Even when you turn off the fire it still kinda fries because the pan is hot.

SGFS: Pandan Layer Cake

In my new home now! Everything's smaller. The house, the fridge, the gym... But I'll get used to it. I'm glad I have a regular oven now though! Enough with crazy convection ovens. Oh and my new rooms really pretty.

My cat however is completely freaked out. He doesn't dare move about. He justs crouches in a corner and stays still :( 

This pandan layer cake is super healthy, delicious, gluten free, added sugar free and paleo! You have to try it :)
