Cottage Cheese Brownies

 

I made these cottage cheese brownies the other day. I used sugar free syrup, cocoa and cottage cheese. I just wanted to document this as I am thinking it needs flour and butter to be a real brownie as healthy as it may sound.

1c cottage cheese

2 eggs

1/2c cocoa

1/2c sugar free syrup

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Blend all ingredients, adding the cocoa powder at the end.  Bake at 350F in an 8" x 8" pan for 25-

30 min.  I used a larger pan so my baking time was 15 mins.

Scallion oil noodles

 

I saw this recipe for scallion oil noodles on Instagram and decided to try them.  I had some dried noodles in my pantry so I cooked them in boiling water for the recommended time.  I used a small Pyrex bowl to heat a handful of green onions in some canola oil in the air fryer at 400F for 12 minutes.  Then I added dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, sesame seeds and some chili oil to the bowl.  I mixed it into the drained noodles and it was so good!  I will be doing this again.

handful of green onions

1/2 c canola oil

2 tbs light soy sauce

1 tbs dark soy sauce

1/4c oyster sauce

1 tsp chili oil or hot sauce of your choice (optional)

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp sesame seeds

400g package of noodles

Brie, cranberries, walnuts, syrup and olive oil on Pita and Wild Cards TV Series

 

I had a small amount of brie cheese left and some pita rounds.  I decided to make this recipe I saw using olive oil, brie, cranberry, walnuts and some syrup.  I melted it in the toaster oven for about 10 minutes and it was very good.

Elizabeth mentioned she was watching this Canadian TV series Wild Cards and we are quite enjoying it.  It is in its 3rd season.  Thanks Elizabeth!  Oh there is the cutest cat also starring in the series! Apparently it streams on The CW network.

Shoulder injury update

I fractured my right shoulder on a walk last August.  After months of physiotherapy until late December I had a final follow up with my physiotherapist at the end of February.  He gave me a few different exercises to do a few times a week.  My left arm extends 170 degrees my right arm extends 160 degrees. 180 degrees is the desired angle. He says I have graduated.  I asked when I could stop doing the exercises, he said I should always be exercising, that makes sense doesn't it?

I started doing some cardio workouts on youtube again.  Luckily I saved my favourite videos on this blog here.
