The healthier breakfast challenge: day 7

Day seven

Hi loves,

My final day yay,

I have really enjoyed this challenge and I can definitely say breakfast is not such a struggle anymore!

I don't think I will be doing this every day but breakfast will def be eaten early several times a months. Check out yesterdays breakfast here.

Here is my final installment......

I have been up since 4am dying of hayfever, stifling heat and one blocked nostril!
So I have eaten two breakfasts today as lack of sleep and sneezing has drained me.

First breakfast devoured at 5am:

Lightly poached nectatines with greek yogurt.

4 x heaped spoonfuls of yogurt

2 x medium nectatines sliced

Slightly crush a few and add to a small amount of water for syrup as seen below.

Second breakfast also great for brunch:

Omelette:

2 x medium free range eggs

1 tsp x dried chives

2 tsp x chilli powder

Add additional seasons of your choice and whisk 

Salad:

3 x large chopped sundried tomatoes 

10 x toasted cashew nuts

8 x walnuts

1/2 tsp dijon mustard

Splash of olive oil

Splash of Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp x balsamic vinegar 

1 x large pickled garlic

3 tbsp x cous cous with poppyseeds (made yesterday)

Pancake Day 2015: the Savoury experience

It's pancake day woop woop

Pancakes have definitely taken a savoury turn in my house this year and the excitement is too real!

I have a sweet tooth and chocolate is a close and personal friend but sugar doesn't compare to my love for the hot and savoury.

My batter is a simple plain mix that enhances the flavour of the filling but doesn't over power it.

Ingredients:

100g plain flour

2 eggs

300ml semi-skimmed milk

pinch salt

1 tbsp olive oil into the mix or a knob of butter

• Splash of oil in the pan for cooking

Serves:7-8 pancakes

• 
  

This pancake day is all about hot and spicy flavours packed full of goodness.

• My two main  fillings are Duck & Chicken surf and turf stir fry and home made Venison meatballs.

R: Stir fry L: venison meatballs

The stir fry has oyster mushrooms, edamame beans, broccoli, shredded duck and chicken, onions and prawns. (sautéed spinach was added at the end).

The venison meatballs which have a really rich spicy sent naturally wear seasoned overnight with Worcestershire sauce, fresh and dried chives, season all, Himalayan sea salt and chopped onions. I then added an egg and a tablespoon of flour before rolling into balls.

     Final product:

I like my savoury pancakes a little more crispier than usual as they hold the contents better and there they are super tasty and pretty darn health eh.

What is your pancake plan this year?
