Coconut ricotta balls - a healthy, protein snack. Kids love it.


Excellent small cheesecakes with a hint of coconut. Good snack for children as ricotta contains calcium. In addition, kids really like the shape. They can easily grab them with tiny fingers and eat. My  one year old just loves it

Ingredients for about 30 balls:
  • 300g of ricotta cheese
  • Creamy peanut butter (I used almond butter)
  • flat spoon of honey
  • 2 flat spoons of coconut oil
  • 100g desiccated coconut


Method:

Warm up coconut oil so it will melt. I did it in the microwave. Put the ricotta into a large bowl, add honey, coconut oil. Add peanut butter and 1/3 desiccated coconut. Mix it. Then form small balls then rolled in the remaining desiccated coconut. Put in the fridge for at least an hour.

Mexican style fish. Spicy and very delicious.


Another recipe for fish. This time the Mexican style cod. It tastes good warm and cold. I hope you will try it and you will enjoy it. Fish are a good source of protein and, above all, omega-3 fatty acids. Fish consumption can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, promote HDL cholesterol, and help the nervous system.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cod fillets (500g)
  • big onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • can of tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • can of red beans
  • a small can of corn
  • spoon of olive oil
  • chilli, sweet pepper, pepper, ground cumin, salt


Method:

On olive oil fry finely chopped onion. After few minutes add the chopped garlic. Pour tomatoes and a glass of water. Add tomato puree and seasoning. Cook for about 20 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced. Add beans and corn. Pour into the casserole dish. Put the fish on the top. Bake in oven -180ÂșC - about 20 minutes.
