Kohlrabi sandwiches - low calorie sandwiches, low carb sandwiches, gluten free sandwiches


The season for kohlrabi has already begun. You can prepare so many things with that vegetable (soup, salads or a healthy snack). When I had it for first time I was a little bit uncertain about taste. I love it in the end. Very crunchy and light.

Ingredients:

  • kohlrabi
  • any protein-containing ingredient - like goat cheese, cheese, ham
  • any vegetable ingredient - e.g radishes, avocados and olives

Method:

Peel the kohlrabi and cut into slices. On top arrange any protein ingredients (cheese, ham, egg, legumes, tofu) and some vegetables (olives, avocados, radishes, herbs)

Rhubarb chia pudding - for dessert or for breakfast


It is almost the end of spring and the beginning of summer. It's getting warmer. In hot weather, we often choose lighter options for meals. I recommend chia puddings with all my heart. At first time when I heard about chia pudding it seemed to me quite difficult to prepare and too extravagant. Now I think that they are the most simple breakfast ever. 

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • a glass of milk
  • teaspoon of honey or stevia / xylitol + spoon of honey to rhubarb
  • 400g of rhubarb
  • a teaspoon of cinnamon
  • a teaspoon of butter

Method:
Mix chia seeds with a teaspoon of honey and milk. Stir every 3 minutes so that the seeds do not stick together. Cut rhubarb it into smaller pieces. Heat the butter in a pot and then add the rhubarb. Cook on low heat until it starts to sap the juices and rise up mush. Add cinnamon and honey. When the rhubarb is ready pour the chia seeds mixed with milk into glasses and leave best for the night. Place the rhubarb on the top in the morning if you want your dessert to be layered

Meatloaf with courgette, healthy and a quick idea for dinner.


Meatloaf is one of the easiest meat recipes. It is simple to make, because you do not need to form burgers or meat balls. You simply put all the ingredients into the baking tray. I put courgette inside so I gained an extra portion of vegetables. Meatloaf can be eaten hot or cold (cold buffet or for sandwiches)

Ingredients:
  • 800g minced meat (I used beef 12% fat)
  • onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 eggs
  • courgette
  • 4 slices of cheese
  • a teaspoon of rapeseed oil
  • salt, pepper, rosemary


Method:
Cut courgette along for big four batons. Sprinkle with salt and leave for 15 minutes. Fry the finely chopped onion using oil and then garlic and chopped rosemary. Leave it for a moment to cool. Mix minced meat with spices, egg and fried onion. Put courgette together and wrap with slices of yellow cheese. Spread the fat on the pan. Put half of the meat on the bottom. Then add courgette and cheese. Cover with the remaining amount of meat. Bake in the oven until the top is nicely browned.
