Tomato and Olive Braai bread

Tomato and Olive Braai bread

Ok, this will be the last indulgence for the week….

You simply have to” braai” before you go on a diet, and what is a “braai” without the bread?

For the next six weeks I will be dieting like a mad woman, exercising like crazy and cooking much much, much, healthier meals.

Why am I doing this? Well we have a little in-house competition. The person to shed the most kilo’s and centimeters around the waist in the next six weeks win a R 1000.00 to spend as they please….Yeahhhh!  Naturally my husband and son believe that they will be each other’s biggest competition, off course I know better.

Quick Olive, Onion and Cheese bread

Quick olive, onion and cheese bread

“There are people in the world so hungry that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

The smell of bread baking in the oven, what a privilege to experience.

I’ve used my muffin recipe to make this quick bread last Saturday.

Firstly because everybody stared at me with starvation in their eyes and I just realized nobody is going to wait for me while I try to spoon the mixture into paper cups.

Secondly because I was tired, and if I have learned anything from myself in this lifetime it is that I should not be near the kitchen when I don’t feel like cooking. Besides our little town no longer have a fire brigade!

Steak and Onion, Cheese burger salad

January 20, 2012 in Bread, Meat, Salad

You know I could never understood how some moms could complain about their children being fuzzy eaters or simply refusing to eat veggies. Honestly I always thought it was the mother’s fault for not introducing their children to the different textures and taste of veggies at a young age.

But off course with all “know it all mommy’s” like myself  I  sit with a teenager that suddenly don’t eat any veggies! Seriously!? We are talking about a little 3-year-old boy who made his mommy look so good in the supermarket in front of other mommy’s by asking me to buy broccoli.

Which reminds me, I never got to thank the producer of Power Puff girls for that broccoli episode where the aliens invaded the broccoli and the children had to save the parents who ate the broccoli by only means of eating the broccoli themselves.

So since my son don’t eat any veggies anymore (unless it’s on a pizza or a hamburger),I’ve decided to make a hamburger salad.

Yes I know what you’re thinking…She is from South Africa, pumpkin in the muffins and salad with grated cheese, pure bribery and corruption!  :)

Ingredients 

Serve 4

1 Iceberg lettuce

6 Gherkins sliced

2 Tomatoes cubed

1 Onion thinly sliced

300 g Steak cut into strips

2 Bread rolls

1 Avocado  cubed

Olive oil for frying

1 cup grated Cheese

Freshly ground pepper.

Fry your onions in a little oil till caramelized and set aside.

Fry the steak with a little seasoning of your choice and set aside.

Cut the bread rolls in big cubes and transfer to baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toast under a hot grill on both sides.

Assemble salads individually and top with grated cheese and a dash of  freshly ground pepper.

Tips

__________________________________________________

Avocado is great first foods for babies, mash without adding any salt.

Freeze leftover veggies in ice cubes for the little ones. Next time you’re in a hurry simply reheat for a quick healthy meal.
