easy and healthy with broccoli and cheese

Broccoli with different kinds of cheese
I used:
750 g broccoli
750 g cauliflower
White Cheese
processed  cheese
Blue cheese (Roqueforte)
Smoked cheese
Grated yellow cheese



 I boiled water and put the broccoli in the pot to boil for 3-4 minutes. After that I took it out and put the cauliflower to boil for 4 minutes. In coated pan I putted the broccoli and a little bit of each kind of cheese. I didn’t have much blue cheese and put more from the white one. Then,  I placed another layer of the cauliflower and the rest of the cheese. At the end, I put the pan in the oven and baked it for 20 minutes. 5 minutes before it was ready, I took the dish, added some grated yellow cheese on top of it and returned it back in the oven. The dish can be served with peper salad (peppers,parsley and vinegar)
   The supper turned out amazing and I’m thinking of doing it again some day J

My muffins

Lemon muffins with white chocolate

1 lemon
3 eggs
300 g sugar
100 g oil
280 g flour
1 ½ tablespoon of baking powder
200 g sour cream
80 g white chocolate

  Butter forms for muffins. Heat up the oven to 200 degree. Grate the lemon peel and squeeze the lemon. Combine the eggs with the sugar and beat up until fluffy. Add the oil, the lemon juice and the peel. Stir everything.
 Sift the flour and the baking powder and put it in the egg mixture. Stir with hand. After that add the sour cream and stir again. Cut the chocolate into small cubes. Put 1 spoon of the dough in the forms, after that put a chocolate cube and dough again. Bake about 20-25 minutes.




  I did my muffins in different way. I didn’t put the lemon peel because I don’t like it. And I didn’t have white chocolate and used normal one. I had flour which raises itself so I used it and didn’t put baking powder. My muffin forms were very small so I made a lot of the dessert. It was simply delicious.

Cooking with friends

My friends and I cooked some dishes the day before. We made two salads, one main course and one dessert.

the salads
 The first one was Mexican salad. We had the recipe but my friend who did it put a lot of everything. Instead of one pickled cucumber he put a whole jar. He also put much cooked corn, red beans, peppers, hot peppers, ham, mayonnaise and savory. He could hardly stir the dish because the plate was overfilled.


The second salad was red and green peppers and onions. We combined the peppers, the onion and vinegar. For decoration we put one hot pepper chopped up as a parting in the middle.

The main course
      The main course was the vegetarian lasagna. I have already posted the recipe for the lasagna- you can see it somewhere below on the page. Here are some photos from this one ;)



 The dessert

It was a chocolate soufflé. I’ll write the recipe.
Products:
200 g black chocolate
200 g butter
7 eggs
270 g sugar
125 g flour
50 g cocoa
Heat the oven up to 225 degrees. Cut the chocolate in pieces and melt it with the butter over hot water bath. Mix the eggs with the sugar until they look like foam. Add the chocolate mixture, the flour and the cocoa. Coat 8 plates with butter, fill them with the dough and bake. Serve the dessert cooled.


                                                                                                             

 and now look our whole table (looks tasty) :)

Potato boats

Products:
 4 big potatoes
300 g yellow cheese
1 egg
50 g butter
3 tablespoons yoghurt
Pepper
Salt

  Boil the potatoes, cut them in half along their length and carve their inner part out. After that,  fill them with the mixture of the grated yellow cheese, the egg, the yoghurt, the pepper and the salt. Place them in pot coated with butter and roast them until they turn red.

Yesterday evening I had unexpected guests and had to make fast something delicious, so I decided to prepare this dish. After boiling the potatoes I didn’t peel them. In the filling I put 2 eggs and more yoghurt because I used more potatoes as I couldn’t find big ones. (so I chose smaller but more). On top of each potato I put some corn and peas. The food turned to be amazing. J
