Not Cactus Ed Bread

2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

1 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon honey
1 cup plain yogurt

Mix 2 cups flour with other dry ingredients. Blend honey and yogurt with beaten egg.
Pour slowly into bowl of dry ingredients and mix as best you can (its hopeless), then slop it all onto the counter and knead for 5 minutes, adding remaining flour as necessary to keep a manageable dough. Shape into long low loaf, place on oiled baking pan and bake at 350-375 for 25 minutes. Best eaten fresh or heated with butter or whatever....deelishus.

Hmm, how do we know a Not Cactus Ed Bread recipe is actually bread or Not Bread?

By the way, I tried these three recipes in the past week and they were all very tasty. The Moroccan Sweet Potato Stew was especially yummy (I opted out of the fresh mint ).

Toasted Barley and Chicken Pilaf (I used two chicken breasts):

I recently tried this: http://www.recipezaar.com/TGIFridays-Black-Bean-Soup-102274

I reduced the chili powder because my husband doesn't like things too spicy but it was still pretty hot. The soup consistency and the variation in each bite were good, though. I think I'll play a bit with the spices.

ALMOND PANCAKES!
For those who don't eat grains but hunger for that stack of pancakes in the morning, or for anyone really who wants something healthy, tasty and so simple. You can buy the almonds pre-ground or grind in your own mixer. Warning, these are really hearty.

Beat together
1 cup Almond Flour
3 eggs.
For added flavor, you may add
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla sugar
Melt 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a frying pan and cook over medium heat until both sides are firm. A couple minutes each side. NOTE: Make the pancakes small, no larger than 6 inches, as they don't stick together too well. Careful when flipping.

Serve with honey, maple syrup, berries, jam, ice cream - this even works with meaty toppings!

Please post any nice recipes here!

At the weekend I was given a load of rainbow chard and this evening I had it for dinner, cooked as follows:

Rainbow chard with soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame seeds

Chop the rainbow chard and pan fry in a bit of oil until it wilts.
Add some soy sauce and maple syrup in equal amounts (check for taste until you like it).
Sprinkle over some sesame seeds. Serve with rice.

(NB: I ran out of maple syrup, so used honey.)

Yum! And takes about five minutes (the rice might take 10) so Light Speed, this could fit your criteria for quick, nutritious and healthy innit

"Pip's Rainbow chards, fabulous AND healthy! This stuff is beyond FRESH, it's CRISP!" -Steve, INFP lifestyle

...any recipes with unicorn theme? xD

LOL! Actually funny you should mention that Steve, because I caught a unicorn in my humane unicorn trap when I went out to water my vegetables in the garden earlier. This is what I am going to do with it tomorrow:

Roasted unicorn with imaginary unnamed perpetual spinach and imaginary as yet ungrown pumpkin

Retrieve unicorn from humane trap and prepare for the kitchen with as little engagement of Ne, Fi, and for the INFJs, Fe and Ni as possible.
Cut into beautifully shaped unicornial pieces and place in an oven dish at unicorn temperature, along with the chopped imaginary pumpkin that won't even grow until Sep/Oct.
Place dish into hot oven and cook until the unicorn begs you to stop.
Wilt imaginary spinach in real or imaginary pan until it looks tasty.
Serve all three together on an imaginary plate with really expensive imaginary wine

(Obviously I'm not going to eat ALL the unicorn at once! I'll be freezing the rest of it in my imaginary freezer )

Splendid!

Yes, I always keep one virgin/unicorn trap in my garden at all times too, just in case. (or drunken virginal INFP, if the virgin/unicorn trap is somewhere raving and having premarital sex)

LOL! I asked my brother to draw a comic:

Hurrah!! That is BY FAR the best cartoon about a humane unicorn trap that I have EVER seen!! Good effort bro

Had a rare bout of cooking-itis yesterday and made Chocolate and Walnut Brownies. They were wilfully unhealthy, but I don't care because they tasted really good.
