oh, the days just go by way too fast...I hardly ever make it to this space and in a way that's good as I need more time away from the computer, but I also miss it...especially as I have quite some recipes to share with you!
but let me start with the weekend, inspired by Amanda from thehabitofbeing
it started with our first outdoor breakfast of the season! Friday was exceptionally hot here in Cairo, so I cleaned table and chairs and we enjoyed our buffet-style breakfast. followed by a trip to the vegetable shop with my little girl. a huge bag was filled with lots of fruit and vegetables, mainly to make more fresh juice as we finally found a mix that the whole family likes!
the rest of the day was mainly relax, doing yoga... until the man and I went out to have BBQ with friends, leaving the girls at home watching this. the temperature dropped quite a bit that night, but the food and company were just great.
Saturday morning I went out to teach a yoga class and back home to spend some special time with the little girl again, as the big girl went for a party... as the weather wasn't as hot anymore but just wonderful spring temperature we spontaneously decided on another BBQ. I quickly made these and liked them a lot!
I made it to yoga class late afternoon, just in time to come home and take the girls to bed, watching another episode of this to end a wonderful weekend, that just went by too fast :-)
now what's with the bread...well, I am on strong Candida diet since a couple of weeks again and finally found the best yeast-free bread recipe so far. here it is:
Yoghurt Soda Bread
3 1/4 cups wholewheat plain flour
2 tsp potassium (or sodium) bicarbonate
1 1/3 cups natural yoghurt
2/3 cup warm filtered water
I usually add a handful of sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to make it a bit more interesting!
this will make two small loaves or one large one. preheat the oven to 200C. sift the flour and mix in the raising agent, then stir in the yoghurt and warm water. mis together well then coat the mixture with more flour and flour working surface. no kneading is necessary. if making small loaves, divide into two and make into fairly flat, oval shapes. cut a cross on the top. place on a floured tray and bake for about 30minutes!
The recipes is out of this book. I haven't tried a lot of the recipes yet, but definitely love the bread...a carob cake didn't come out that nice. give me a little more time and I can tell you more about it ;-)
ENJOY and oh, how was your week-end!?
eating outside is such a treat!
