Starters & snacks

Chicken Breast and Sweet Potato Spread

Chicken Breast and Sweet Potato Spread

We’ll keep away from oil for this one, but you don’t have to. We’ll cook everything (meat and vegetables) together in a pan, then mash them. In 40 minutes, tops, all you’ll have to do it’ll be to spread this creamy mixture on your toast and eat it. Low-fat, low-carb, low-sodium, and low-calorie stuff.

Carrot Tartare

Carrot Tartare

But of course, the tartare is a dish made from minced meat. No one can argue with that. However, nobody can stop you to change the rules, to experiment, to try something new. Why not make the tartare from carrots, for example? Why not?

Kefir Muffins

Kefir Muffins

Yogurt this, yogurt that. Let’s use kefir, from time to time. Here, we’ve included it in our ingredient list for these muffins, together with raisins, honey, and eggs. Snack on!

Coffee Granola

Coffee Granola

Good Morning! How do you eat your granola? We ask you because we combined ours with ground coffee, flaxseeds, and rice syrup. Not to mention the almond butter, walnuts, and dates. The result? A mildly sweet nutty and energizing trail mix-like experience.

Barley-Stuffed Tomatoes

Barley-Stuffed Tomatoes

Welcome to the ever-nutritious pearl barley! We’ll mix it with vegetable goodies and herbs. We’ll flavor with lemon juice and olive oil and we’ll use this salad to stuff tomatoes. The result will be a no-brainer refreshing starter dish, a vegan treat, or even a side-dish for that matter.

Turkish Coffee Shortbread Cookies

Turkish Coffee Shortbread Cookies

These cookies come straight from Turkish cuisine, although they are not over-sweet, as is the case with the most Turkish sweets. So prepare the cardamom and chocolate chips and never throw away your coffee grounds again. They are perfect when served as intended; over coffee, that is.

Empanadas with Salami and Mozzarella

Empanadas With Salami and Mozzarella

We’ve baked these turnovers, rather than frying them in oil and we urge you to do the same, at least this time. The filling is a matter of the imagination; we’ve used salami, ham, mozzarella, and onion (both spring and normal).

Date, Bacon and Coffee Cookies

Date, Bacon, and Coffee Cookies

These date and coffee cookies are really something and it’s the bacon that makes them so special. It’s an unusual ingredient when one thinks about sweets, but wait until you taste them. Feel free to change the ratio for the sweet dates or the salty bacon to better suit your taste.

Po Boy Sandwich

Po Boy Sandwich

In no more than 20 minutes the Po’ Boy sandwich will come straight from Louisiana and end up right on your plate. We made our Po-Boy shrimp-themed and flavored it with Cajun seasoning, Worchester sauce, and lemon juice.

Hummus Muffins

Hummus Muffins

Why not give an exotic touch to your next savory muffins? There is nothing simpler! Toss some paprika into the muffin dough mixture, then, after they’re done, top them with hummus and garnish them with pomegranate seeds and various sprouts and shoots. Let your imagination roam free!

Sardines on Toast

Sardines on Toast

When it comes to topping and upgrading your daily toast, it’s so easy to get creative! You can follow your own imagination or you can top the roasted slices of bread with fried sardines and with a mildly sweet mixture of capers and onion. Your choice. Did we mention the mustard and the mayo?

Baked Zucchini and Broccoli Fritters

Baked Zucchini and Broccoli Fritters

Whether you’re OK with naming these oven-baked goodies “fritters”, it’s not important. What is important is that they’re scrumptious and nutritious and they’re perfect for breakfast or as a starter. Thanks to their broccoli, zucchini, eggs, and Cheddar content.
