Breadfruit Seasoned Sausages.





Breadfruit seasoned sausages what can I say about this recipe, it taste so Good :))

And it is so easy to prepare with an easy clean up of dishes. 

Ingredients.. 

1 ripe breadfruit 
3 Garlic cloves finely grated. 
1 Small onion finely grated. 
Salt to taste. 
Thyme 
Marjoram 
Black pepper. 
Chives finely chopped. 
Flour to coat. 

Method.. 
Peel breadfruit cut into pieces and place in a saucepan of water to cook. 

When softly cooked drain water and you can do all preperation in the pan instead of using another dish. 

Mash breadfruit and place all ingredients add salt to taste. 

When the mixture is done and all ingredients is blended you should have a mild kind of creamed mashed dough. 

Using your clean hands take out creamed breadfruit and roll into a sausage shape making sure that you use flour to keep it from stick and which will help give it the golden coat when it's frying or baking. 

Roll as many sausages as you can get until all the creamed breadfruit is gone. 

On the stove heat a frying pan with oil and placed breadfruit sausage until they are goldenly fried and finished. 

You have to options of achieving this as you can either bake them ot fry them as always the choice is yours. 

When breadfruit sausages are finished you can plate them with any kind of meat, fish or just add vegetables. 

As eating the breadfruit sausages by themselves taste goid as well and they are very filling to the stomach. 

This is an easy recipe and it goes well with anything and for anyone that is tired of cooking pasta or rice and just want to eat something different and new well this you can try. 

I like to make new recipes as I like to change up my daily cooking menu. 

And these sausages you can make out of anything yams, eddoes, potatoes, pumpkin, you name it. 

You can try and do it as it's a new way to use the same ingredients but Give them a much appealing look. 

Instead of the old way that everyone is accustomed to. 

I'm very artistic and I like to let my artistic juices flow also when preparing new recipes and food.  :) Enjoy!

Mango Gelatin



This is Mango Gelatin a new recipe of mine I just did for the first time .

It is like a jelly with very soft pulp inside and the taste is a fusion or sweet and acid.

According to your preference you can use ripe mangoes so that it would have that full sweet taste.

I use green mangoes or ripe mangoes depending on the taste I want to achieve, and I also like the fusion of the sweet and acid taste.

Ingredients...

2 Half ripe or fully ripe mangoes skin with all flesh remove.(your preference of course)
2 Pinches of cinnamon
2 Pinches of spice
1 1/2 Water
5 Tbs White Sugar

Method..

In a small sauce pan with 1 1/2 cups of water place mango slices, add 2 pinches of cinnamon ,2 pinches of spice and 5tbs of white sugar.

Let ingredients boil until consistency is mild.

It must go into a slight caramelize state so watch it carefully because it changes very fast and you don't want it to over caramelize and get hard.

After ten minutes the mangos will turn to a soft pulp,as when touch it just crumbles under a spoon.

At this stage lower heat and just let the mixture boil for 2 minutes more,if yours has reach it's right stage you can turn the heat off.

The consistency should be mild with a very syrup like jelly look.

Turn off heat and put aside to cool,after cooling place in a glass or plastic container and chill until serving.

It taste very good on bread ,biscuits,ice-cream ,cakes you name it, you can put it on it hahaha.

I hope that you get time to try this recipe,it's sweet and mellow and when pulp is placed in the mouth you don't have to bite as it's so soft that it melts in your mouth.

Enjoy! :)

Let me know how it came out Okay :)

Eating Vegetables-The Healthy Way.





I had a lunch date with a plate full of some delicious vegetables, something that I regularly do.

Some individuals see eating vegetables as a challenge what about you?

Some individuals including some children find it hard to eat this healthy way.

It should not be a challenge to individuals they should just try to implement some vegetables into their lunch or dinner a day or some days.

Vegetables come in all shapes, sizes, colors, taste and texture and all does the same thing.

They help build and supply the body with the nutrients that it needs and that is all they bring.

I like to eat vegetables whether cooked or raw.

And I prefer the raw kind as nothing is cooked out of it I just digest the natural nutrients and I will eat them if frozen they will just have to get thawed.

And with juicing now taking effect, a vegetable juice is the perfect treat to get.
Vegetable drinks energize the body and make it always healthy and happy.

This vegetable dish I prepared for myself consists of carrots and some beets.

I like to do the pretty colors as each color comes with more vitamins for the body's needs.

Pumpkin, cucumber, sweet pepper, thyme, parsley and a pinch of black pepper and mayonnaise, I just did a little as a paste on my dish to sweeten the taste :)

And I must say, that it was so delicious and filling as well.

If only you could see my reaction and the happiness on my face always tell.

Nothing is wrong with having a vegetable or fruit salad for dinner or lunch.

Sometimes you can even add them to your taking of some brunch.

Vegetables really help the body to balance in nutritious ways.

And they should be eating daily and for them, individuals should have more care.
Eating a healthy salad beats digesting oily fast foods each day.

Your body gets energize and healthy to be strong for each passing day.

With fast foods, no nutrients are added just oil that clogs your body.

And eating oily greasy foods isn't good for anybody.

No one wants a clog body only a healthy one that is fast and ready to work.

And eating healthy is very wise it is not a play or a joke.

So next time you think about having those oily fries or other, think about your kidneys and liver.

Don't go in a long line waiting at a fast food outlet to get irritable.

Instead, try a plate of some healthy nutritious vegetables :)

Naturally Made Coconut Macaroons.


Coconut Macaroons 

These are very tasty and can be very addictive as well. 

Easy to prepare and with little clean up.

I normally juiced my coconut as to get the milk which I use to add to the mixture, as I find it allows the taste of the macaroons to be more naturally tasted, as with every bite, the natural taste and smell of the coconut are so sweetly overwhelming and it just a pleasing to the mouth and nose :)  

The Ingredients... 
1 Coconut finely grated 
Coconut milk
Cinnamon 
Spice 
1 Can of Condense sweet milk 
Cupcake holders, cupcake pan or cookie pan. 

Method... 
In a bowl combine grated coconut, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp spice, coconut milk, and condensed sweet milk and mix until all the ingredients are infused with each other. 

Making sure that the mixture is at the right consistency, not to soft but With a holding texture, and you can maintain this by adding or decreasing the sweet milk. 

You don't need to add sugar because the condensed milk is already used as a sweetener. 

Place mixture gradually into cup cake holder or cupcake pan making sure that it's half filled and not over flowing to the top. 

I sometimes used the silicone cupcake holders which is so easy to handle, with easy clean up,  nothing is left laying around. 

And with the cupcake holder or pan you get a muffin like structure to your macaroons that also gives them an appealing look. 

With the cookie pan yes, the macaroons still bake but The structure is not the same, as the height is limited. 

So when preparing your macaroons decide which method of containment you want to use to get the right structure. 

Place in the oven and bake until golden, when finished you can place them aside to cool off, and if it's your preference you can add icing onto them as I have done with mine :)

NEXT.....   Serve up and Enjoy :)

Macaroni Pie



This is a favorite recipe of mine :) Yes!  individuals bake the pie but I'm not sure if I would consider them macaroni pie as some of them are just melted cheese milk mix poured onto macaroni and that is not macaroni pie that is just a pasta cheese base.

I like my macaroni pie to be well cheesed and seasoned and semi-firm to the touch gentle and succulent in the mouth not watered or running like some mess.

For making a well real macaroni pie ingredients are...
Cheese (I used new Zealand cheese as this cheese makes the pie taste really good)
Evaporated milk
Onion finely grated
White pepper
Ketchup
Mustard
Salt to taste.


Method
In a saucepan with boiling water, place macaroni and let cook until semi-soft whereas it's tender to the touch and not overcooked, drained and in the same saucepan with the cooked macaroni add grated cheese, grated onion, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 2 1/4 cups ketchup, 1/2 tbsp mustard, and milk and stir until all ingredients are combined and cheese is melted.

At this stage, you can taste the mixture and add more salt if it's needed, the mixture should be well moist not too heavy with milk but Just right.

In a prepared baking dish add mixture and sprinkle grated cheese on top, place in oven, and bake for 10 -15 minutes or until golden.

Remove from oven when finished and let it cool for 10minutes then served, but This time the pie should be compact and it should be easy to cut without falling apart.

Place on a dish and serve :)
