Wheat Free Meat Free Kievs

December 4, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As a person who is Wheat and Gluten sensitive I find that  my diet is very limited.    Also as a person who has eaten any chicken/beef/lamb/duck etcfor two years my choices are further limited when I go out to eat.

And now   I have just given up eating fish to see if there will be an improvement of  my moon time pain so I have been struggling to cook different food.

So being Gluten and Meat free can cause challenges to creating a good meal, that just wasn’t about Lentils and Chickpeas.

I had forgot about the wheat free bread crumbs in my cupboard..

My friend Mandi gave me this delicious food basket for my birthday  back in July .  The basket  included a wheat free pancake mix , biscuits, delicious Pukka Tea and All Purpose  breadcrumbs from Organ..

After I had snacked on the basket’s contents for a number of weeks the breadcrumbs were banished to the cupboard was they didn’t do much during the making of my wheatfree apple crumble.(I like to make my own bread crumbs for that).

Anyway deciding to do something different I saw vegatarian kievs in the super market when I nearly cried that I was unable to eat them..so I decidedto make my own..

Recipe

Preparation Time

45 Minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Diffculty 2

Services 2 people

~~~~~~~~

2 pieces Frozen  of  Quorn *Fillets

3/4 cups of wheat free Breadcrumbs

3/4 cups of Wheat free Breadcrumbs

2 table spoon of butter *

5 tablespoons of chopped Coriander or Parsley ( I prefer coriander)

1 Clove of Garlic chopped

1 egg*

1 tablespoon of mixed herbs

1 Cup of Oil ~For oil I used Coconut oil to fry as its better.

Steps

1>Chop Ingredients for filing ie Parsley, Garlic, mixed herbs etc and mix together

2. Soak the frozen fillets in hot water to soften

3. Cut open the fillets (they are quite thin and may spilt but this is ok as you can reseal them afterwards during the frying process)

4. Cover the piece  in flour and then roll them in the  egg.

5. Coat the pieces in the wheat free bread crumbs  ( I did the lazy option and mixed the flour and breadcrumbs together).

6.Place your pieces in the refrigerator for 30 minutes

7. Heat the oil medium heat then fry the pieces until golden brown (approx 5-10 mins).

8. As a rule (which I learned from my mother ) put the pieces in the oven just to ensure that the pieces cock throughly inside.

10. Garnish with parsley I had mine with a homemade tomatoes salsa and lemon water to break up the acid.

*For vegans  you can use egg substitute and soya butter as an alternative.

AEDM and Tarot

November 30, 2009 · 2 Comments

For full Photo stream click here! AEDM 010 For the past month I have been involved with Creative Every day month and combining this with my study of the Tarot cards, I realise that there has been an opening and integration of my creative side I feel more in flow with my creativity.  For today’s  last card I drew the Death card which symbolises the end/beginning and transformation, as it’s the end of the course I also believe it is the beginning of something great and new.  The end is  the beginning of something new… I have started to create Goddess Journals,  I used to create Zines but now I am incorporating Goddess Journals as a companion to my Playbook/workbook that I will launch in the New Year and this is the other baby that has arisen out of Creative Everyday It has been a great time and great to read and learn from the other blogs thank you all for visiting this site and Leah thank you once again for a great journey…everybody  stay creative …

AEDM and Tarot King of Wands 27/11/09

AEDM and Tarot King of Wands 27/11/09


Finished Heart Wall Hanging


The pictures are Prints of  Pastels on paper that I created a month ago I have used Pastels since going to Art college.  I will refine the Japanese Binding and these Journals  and cards will be available at my Etsy store soon.

Creative Update….

It has been a Creative two days … I haven’t had much time to post so I saved the work and decided to post every three days.

I have been in a creative frenzy and I felt that I needed to take refuge from life.  As a Holistic Life Coach and Healer I  tend to give too much especially to students /clients so my creative time is like a prayer however I need to balance it by spending moretime  in nature.(even if its Autumn).

So using my own medicine I took to relaxing with peppermint tea to calm my IBs brought on by stress and gave myself a healing bath with an Essential Oils that grounded me.

The same  night around 12.00 am I chose the Tower card but felt that I had cheated as I normally select a card in the morning so I still took on board the meaning of upheaval and change (The Tower) but felt that this was more internal as opposed to external events.  The next day I selected the Ace of Cups abundance love etc .  I felt a very close connection to the Earth and spent time outside in my garden.

I later decided to get some food at the local market and as I stepped out of my front door during a burst of Rain I saw the most beautiful Rainbow..

Which I realise now was   a blessing and sign for me to constantly working with Nature and Creativity.

Belly Dancing

November 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 

Belly dancing ……

I love Belly dancing its such a healing way to exercise and feel my in touch with your self…. I have been dancing on and off for about four years (i never get to finish a whole term) but this winter I vow to finish and perform as part of a troup.  The atmosphere during a class is such fun but it isn’t just a case of shaking your hips.   Belly dance will challenge you and your body but at the end of the class you will wonder why you did not dance sooner….

Belly dancing on a budget

If you cannot afford to go to a belly dancing class you can alway buy this belly dancing kit in a box, that my friend bought for me,  however  i had already started dancing.

resized_belly

The kit is fun and is quite useful for the novice dancer.
Buy the Art of Belly Dancing kit here from Amazon!

If you are more visual then you may want to buy a video so Bellydance for Beginners [DVD] [2008 is the best way to start your journey.

If you have any queries for belly dancing please leave a comment here!
