A healthy start to your day

-

Oatmeal... It is so tasty, and  an extremely healthy food. It helps to lower cholesterol, it gives you energy, has a lot of fiber and protein and is in general great for a healthy lifestyle. It is a great start to your day. Try eating it once in a while for breakfast.

Oatmeal is cheap, quick and easy to make. It takes less than 5 minutes to cook. Here in the picture above I am cooking my oatmeal and have added a handful of fresh blueberries for even more antioxidants, vitamin C and flavor.

To your oatmeal you can eat it just as it is or you can make it different every time.  I sometimes add shredded coconut, fresh blueberries, fresh strawberries, cinnamon stick, fresh apple chunks of fresh shredded apples. Use your creativity and add what you would like just make sure that what you add is healthy.

What do you eat for breakfast? Try to changing it up a bit, one day eat oatmeal, one day eat cereal, the other an egg and cheese sandwich, the other grits and eggs,  another day toast with butter and honey or toast with cream cheese etc. switch it up.

God Bless

    I will try the oatmeal with blueberries, I will try the choices above coz I'm sick and tired of eating the same meal everyday. LoL. I'm a bit health conscious but then I don't know how to cook that's why I love your recipes, it's easy and simple yet it's healthy and makes a difference on everyday meals. Thanks a lot. God bless you more.

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
