Delicious Coconut Pancakes with strawberries and honey!

This time I wanted to make a pancakes, but a bit different then usually.

I love everything with coconut, so with no hesitate I bought 2 different time of coconut milk and a lot of desiccated coconut.

Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fiber, Vit. C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. They also contains minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Coconut milk is lactose free ass well. Coconuts are one of the best sources of lauric acid, which has antibacterial and antiviral activities.

Ingredients:

• cup of gluten free flour (or plain flour) you might need a bit more then a cup,the consistency can't be to thick and to thin
• 100g of desiccated coconut
• 2 eggs
• a pinch of salt
• a half of tsp of baking soda
• 2-3 tbs of brown sugar
• 3 tbs of coconut milk made from pressed, fresh coconut kernel
• half a cup of coconut milk beverage
• coconut oil

You might need to add a bit more of flour, or milk, because the consistency can't be to thick or to watery.

I highly recommend to eat those pancakes with strawberries and honey. That's the winning combination;))) Trust me;))

Healthy, tasty dinner;) It's a fish time!

Salmon with brown rice and asparagus;))))


Salmon is one of the healthiest fish, It should be part of your healthy diet. Why? Because It's an excellent source of Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Selenium, Niacin, Omega-3 fatty acids, protein, phosphorus and Vitamin B6. The health benefits are proper cardiovascular health, correct muscle, tissue development, boosted eye health and efficient body metabolism.

Brown rice is and an excellent source of manganese, selenium, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, niacin and what is even better about brown rice, it is a high level of fiber, which has been shown to reduce high cholesterol level. If you want to improve your diet I would recommend to start with using brown rice not WHITE!

Asparagus are not only healthy and delicious but they look Good on a plate. They very photogenic;))
They packed with fiber, folate, Vitamin A, C, E and K. But also contain chromium. It's good to add this to your diet ass well.


How to prepare this delicious meal?

Ingredients:

• fresh salmon (as much as you want)
• soy sauce, salt, pepper
• 100 g of fresh asparagus
• 100g of brown rice, a bit of saffron

Fry the salmon, but before that you have to cover your fish with a good splash of soy sauce and leave it for 10 min and add some pepper. I fried the salmon for about 10 min and I've steamed  asparagus for 10-13 min.

And in the end I've boiled the rice with saffron.

Easy, fast and very yummy!

On the frying pan pour earlier chopped bell pepper, mushrooms and onion. Fry for 5 min. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add fried veggie mix, then add some fresh parsley and chives as much as you want.
Preheat the oven to 180C, and use muffin tray. Bake for 15 min.
