[Momo] Tasty Falafel

Hello guys, Momo here! Today I'm going to show you how to cook Falafel. They are basically balls made of chickpaea flour, so they are totally ok for vegetarian people. Plus chickpea flour is naturally gluten free, so if you are celiac you can serenely eat them! Remember to check the ingredients of your flour to make sure it doesn't contain any traces of gluten. Let's start!

Falafel

Ingredients:

 Chickpea Flour

 Hot water

 White Yoghurt

 Oregano

 Chives

Oil

Pour 160 g of flour in a bowl together with approximately 250 ml of hot water. Blend everything until you get a pretty uniform mixture. Then let it stand for about 15 minutes.

Pour a thin layer of oil in a pan and put the mixture into it. Shape it as you like, but remember that the mixture is rather liquid!

Cook the small balls for about 3-4 minute each side. Then serve it with a sauce, this way they are even more tasty! I used half a can of yoghurt with a bit of oregano and chives.

Enjoy!

[Gabriella] First post on #pancake day!

Hello and welcome on this pretty new website dedicated to healthy foods, recipes and how to be fit.

We made this blog to help other people to develop a healthy lifestyle; we are 3 writers as you can see in the header of the blog and we have different point of view on how eat healthy and how to be fit.

So, today is the 4th march and it's the PANCAKE DAY! Are you excited? Because I AM!
Pancakes are usually prepared with some ingredients that makes them not healthy at all, like butter or oil BUT today i wanna show you my own personal pancakes recipe, super healthy with low fat!

FLUFFY & LIGHT PANCAKES
(1 serving)

The ingredients to make this little bad boys are:
- 30gr of flour
- 100ml or less skimmed milk (i used the WeightWatchers Milk of Parmalat)
- 1 tbp of baking powder for sweets
- artificial sweetener like stevie or dietic (without aspartame!)
- 1 egg

The process is so easy so don't be afraid!
1) First of all, put the flour with the baking powder in a bowl and mix them up with a spoon
2) Add the egg and mix all together
3) Now it's time to add the milk, put a little bit of milk in the bowl, PAY ATTENTION: you want a creamy texture not too liquid and not too pasty, i didn't use all the milk, i added a little bit of it to find the perfect texture and i was done!
4) Add your sweetener and mix all again!
5) Grease a pan with the help of oil and scottex (this is a tecnique to use less oil on the pan!)
6) Now it's time for cooking! Warm up your pan and put in a spoon of the pancakes' mixture, wait one minute and control your pancake, try to flip it to the other side and let it cook another 50sec. When it's cooked and slighty golden remove it from the pan and put it on a plate.
7) You're done! Put your pancakes on a plate and decorate them with a little bit of maple syrup!

This pancakes have 220 calories for serving, 31gr of carb - 5,6gr of protein and 0,3gr of fat. Isn't fantastic?!
