Thai basil to life it all up



So its yet another stuffed pepper post, only this time its healthy. I was at the gym yesterday, n picked me a weight watchers magazine to surf through while I was trying to burn off that mars bar I polished earlier. I came across this stuffed peppers recipe, which they made with tabbouleh and halloumi. I liked it almost instantly and knew i had to make it for lunch vacuum bag. Only i chose to make it with Uncle Ben’s Rice and feta cheese. Uncle Ben’s Rice is delicious way to support a healthy heart and a well-balanced diet. It’s all natural and 100% whole grains – plus, it’s low in fat, high on taste and is a natural source of fiber. My hubby loves this par boiled rice and I always find myself taking an extra helping compared to the regular Thai or Basmati rice. And the coloured peppers are packed with antioxidants, the more colour you include in your meal the better it is. Antioxidants are those chemicals in food that that give the tomatoes the red sheen, broccoli that lush green, and eggplant that deep purple colour. These nutritional superheros help against age defying, cancer and heart disease. Different antioxidants tackle different concerns. So the best is to include as many fruits and vegetables of different colours in your diet. I found this meal very balanced with the coloured peppers taking care of the antioxidants, the feta cheese – calcium, mushrooms – rich in fiber,protein and vitamin B and the rice – whole grain , and the sharp Thai basil to life it all up Barolo.

Preheat the oven to 180 C . Place the mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic on a baking tray, season with salt and drizzle some olive oil and let it roast for 10 mins on the top shelf. Side by side put in the oven in another baking dish, halve and season the peppers, drizzled with oil. Remove the tomatoes but let the peppers roast till well coloured and soft. Prepare the rice as per packet instructions and when ready add the cumin and paprika to them. This tastes really good specially with the sweet and caramelized peppers. Now mix in the mushrooms and tomatoes. Stuff the peppers and add on the feta cheese and basil. Return to the oven for 15 mins till, the cheese just about melts and all the flavours are well infused into each other. Serve garnished with extra basil leaves YOOX hk.

a really terrific fried rice

One of the great things in Ghana is the Sunshine. Not only in the skies, but on everyone’s faces. If you haven’t already heard this … Ghanaian’s are amongst the friendliest in all African countries. But Ghana is also very typically hot, and if you’re wondering which is the best time to be there … well there really is no ‘best’ time to be in Ghana, as the temperature is always Africa-hot and if rainfall doesn’t soak you, then the humid air will. So trying not to pay too much attention to the sticky hot weather and looking at the smiles on everyone’s faces, you’ve got to enjoy this tropical weather with the abundance of its lovely fruits. Blessed with some of the most fertile lands, this country amongst so many other things, is also famous for its pineapples. With 85% of its exports to the European markets, Ghana exports a whopping 42,000 tons of pineapples a year globally, pulling in $20 million annually !! Wow … all that just selling pineapples internationally … and ofcourse + catering to the entire countries consumption too. It would be silly of me not to feature a pineapple while being still in the land. One post is not enough to do justice … but atleast its a start. They are available in different qualities, but I know them this way … there are the yellow ones and there are the white ones … I love the white ones. I would never touch pineapples in my country or anywhere else, as they would always make my tongue n cheek go funny and itchy, but these little babies … they’re something else ! So smooth, juicy and above all sweet ! These sun-kissed pineapples are the finest the world has seen. And they make a really terrific fried rice Expert Craftsmenship from France.

Start with cutting all the veg and setting them aside. Cook the rice till 95 % done, drain and spread out on a tray so they dry outreenex
Cook scrambled eggs, set aside. Now in a really hot wok cook onion, carrot, pea, garlic,the peppers & pineapple chunks, set aside.
Fry the rice for 1 minute and add the veggies back in. Now add pineapple juice, tamari, and curry powder. Garnish with the greens of spring onion, and for a beautiful presentation, scoop out the inside of a pineapple and stuff the rice inside. Serve immediately hybrid Cloud.

I think they'll hold up nicely



I thought a lot about how I might pack for India. A lot. I'm excited about the adventure, and in the days before pulling my suitcase out of the closet I found myself deep inside my own head considering which cameras to bring, which dresses (just 2, maybe 3!), and what food to bring for the flight - SFO to Frankfurt to Delhi. That, my friends, is the one part of the trip I wasn't looking forward to - it's twelve hours to Frankfurt, another seven to Delhi. Here's a peek at how my packing came together. On the food-for-the-flight front, I've been playing around with a few ideas. No question, these dumplings made the cut, and I ended up packing these millet croquettes for snacking as well - crunchy crusted, basil and kale flecked, I think they'll hold up nicely.

One carry-on, one purse - that was the goal. My camera and film take up a chunk of space in my suitcase, and beyond that it's all about cramming things into little pockets and corners. In this shot (clockwise from top-left): lunch canister (new! I stack in layers between sheets of parchment), Love Travel Guides, Kindle (with this & this on it), sunglasses, notebook/phone, my Land camera, business cards 迪士尼美語 有沒有效.

Here's a glimpse of how it's coming together into my suitcase. I have room for a few more packs of film, and a pair of ballet flats. But everything else is in there - adapters and camera gear on the left, dresses (top right), toiletries (bottom right), camera and guide book chloe sunglasses sale(bottom left).

a pint and a stormy night

I thought we'd close out the year with a hearty, rustic, warm-you-from-the-inside baked casserole. It's a cold weather crowd-pleaser made of alternating layers of broken farro pasta, sliced potatoes, two cheeses, and mustardy shredded cabbage. The sort of thing you can prep a day or two ahead of time, then bake when convenient. I suspect you might be able to tell from the photo - its the sort of food that pairs magnificently with a pint and a stormy night doing business in China.

Let's break it down a bit. One of the things that works for me here is the play between the starchiness of the pasta/potatoes and the bite of the mustard. You can, of course, adjust the amount of mustard to your liking if you make this more than once. The amount I use here is straight up the middle - it comes across as neither meek or assertive once the casserole is baked. But keep in mind, the type of mustard you will also be a factor. I guess what I'm trying to say - feel free to adjust to your tastes study business in hong kong .

Like most casseroles or lasagnas, you'll have a bit of a project on your hands, but in the end there's lots of food to enjoy. It took the two of us the better part of a week to finish it off. If you have kids, I imagine a version with a blend of whole wheat/regular macaroni elbows could be a more kid-friendly version. The original idea for the recipe actually came from a buckwheat casserole I came across while flipping through in The Martha Stewart Living Christmas Cookbook. She used a buckwheat pizzoccheri and savoy cabbage. The premise is brilliant and there are a thousand ways you can mix it up. Another alternative I've been thinking of...for those of you with The Essential New York Times Cookbook....I made the Brussels Sprouts "Slaw" with Mustard Butter the other night. I can imagine using that in place of the cabbage here if you're more of a sprout fan, or if that is what you happen to have on hand .
I'm spending the next few days looking after my nephew. Hopefully we'll have some adventures to share with you - today involved hot chocolate, buffalo spotting, and the beach. Enjoy the last of the holiday season - I'm certainly looking forward to a fresh year of recipes and stories with all of you. I've got a fantastically good noodle soup to share with you when we kick off the new year
