Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Olive Oil 1 kg frozen lentils 300g mixed frozen vegetables 1 stalk fresh celery chopped or frozen 1 large onion. chopped 1 can crushed tomatoes 1 clove garlic, crushed 4 large button mushrooms, chopped 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 heaped tsp vegetable bouillon (choose brands without MSG) 1 Tbsp low salt soy sauce 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce salt and pepper to taste 3 cups hot water 1/2 Goat's Halloumi grated or any other cheese like low fat cheddar Instant mashed potatoes - packet which offers 8 portions Method: In a large pot add the olive oil, chopped onions and garlic. Saute onions and garlic over medium fire until transparent. Add the celery and button mushrooms. Cook for a further two minutes. Then add the frozen lentils, vegetable mix, canned tomatoes, turmeric powder, vegetable bouillon, low salt soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Stir well. Add hot water and stir again. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 20 minutes until lentils and vegetables are cooked and the liquid has mostly evaporated. Spoon lentil mixture in a large pyrex glass dish. Prepare instant mashed potatoes according to the packet instructions. I avoid using milk and just add water and a knob of butter. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the lentil mixture. Grate your cheese of choice and sprinkle on top of the mashed potatoes. Bake in the oven for about 40 - 60 minutes at 180C or until golden on top. Enjoy ! Nutritional Tip: My motto is "How can I make this more nutritious ?" ... so instead of button mushrooms, I added 4 x shiitake mushrooms finely chopped and 1 strip wakame seaweed crushed into tiny pieces and of course some turmeric ! I know some of you mummies might be hesitant about using frozen foods, yet I see them as the next healthiest step to using fresh foods. I may add that with some frozen vegetables the nutrient content may be higher than fresh foods depending how long they have been sitting on the shelf ! Ceviche's citrus spiciness lies a range of weight-control and anti-heart disease properties, including antioxidants, omega-3 and omega-6, vitamins, and collagen. If you are looking for more ways to incorporate new foods into your healthily lifestyle, eat ceviche.

With a quick prep time, ceviche is the perfect alternative to cooking over a hot stove especially in the summer months. Instead, sit back, relax and savor the refreshing flavors of this easy-to-make and internationally renowned meal.

You will need a brown paper bag. 50 g popcorn kernels 1 tsp honey 1/4 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon powder
If you don't have a microwave, don't let that stop you. Put a small amount of oil to coat the bottom of the biggest saucepan you have with a glass lid. Set it on a medium heat and put in a single layer of kernels before returning the lid. As soon as you see it beginning to pop, continuously shake the pan gently across the hob to ensure the kernels don't burn. After a minute or so, once the popping has slowed down significantly, remove from the heat. Allow it to cool briefly, then drizzle on the honey and cinnamon. Transfer to a bowl and tuck in. 1 pear, cut along its length into 6-7 slices
2 Tbsp. peanut butter 2 Tbsp. thick live yogurt a pinch of mixed seeds on each slice 1) Spread the peanut butter across a slice of pear, add some yogurt and top with seeds. Eat and repeat. 110g silken tofu
1 large banana, frozen 250ml dairy kefir 1 tsp cinnamon 1) Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.
