Oven baked paprika fries

I´d like to share that wonderful recipe with you - just in case you can buy a whole bag of paprika (10 units lot) for little money.

Vegetable fries are really delicious snacks, healthy, low fat and cheap and easy to make!

Preheat the oven on to 220 degree Celsius.
Cut 3 paprika in slices, that amount fits perfectly on a baking sheet.
Mix these paprika slices with oil and salt. I recommend one or two tablespoons of olive oil and at least one tablespoon of salt. Mix it!
Then put 3-4 Tablespoons of edible starch on it and mix it very well.
Pour 1 tablespoon each of rice flour and corn flour  to it and mix it.

Place the paprika slices even on the baking sheet, so they aren't layering.

Bake until it looks like on the picture. Open the oven after ~10 minutes and let the steam out. Let the steam out several times, if necessary.

I think they need at around 20 minutes.

Enjoy!

Hint: Serve as a healthy snack when you have guests or for a party. Also good instead of fries or popcorn for when you are on the couch and watch tv.^^

Disadvantage: They may be high in acrylamid.

Resistant starch from Potato tornados - terrible idea

Hello!

Because i cant help myself but to really doubt that cooling for 5 hour will reduce the calories of ramen by half, i decided to make resistant starch from a snack that i really love - potato tornadoes!

Potato tornadoes are a wonderful fastfood, even suitable for weightloss if oil is used sparse.
i bought an oil sprayer just to bake low fat potato tornadoes! i can really recommend oil sprayer for everyone who wants to bake with only little oil.

The other great thing of potato tornadoes is, that they are healthy. The potatoes doesn't need to be cooked, to dispense their vitamins in to the cooking water that will only be poured away. The best thing to cook potatoes is to sizzle them with very little oil or to bake them with very little oil or even no oil.
Please don't bake potatoes in tin foil, I'm not sure that the aluminum isn't going into the potatoes. Please avoid ALL aluminum, since its considered to be a potential cause of neurodegenerative diseases.

Here some arousing pictures of delicious potato tornadoes first of all:



Oh dear, they are so yummy!

The top is crispy like potato chips and the other areas are soft.
A perfect composition!!!

I spray them thinly with the oil sprayer and sprinkle some potato fries spices on them. Paprika, curry, onion, pepper, cumin, chili, garlic and so on...

Then i bake them at 392 degree Fahrenheit until toe top side get brown edges.
better don't bake them too crispy, because it WILL be higher in acrylamide then. (Which is so far, the only disadvantage of this delicious snack)



 Another picture with my hand as a measuring scale.

To home make these precious potato snacks, you only need such a crank:
If your skilled with your hands, you will be able to make very good potato tornadoes, just with that. That thingy only costs about 1$.^^ (I recommend to buy a few, because mine broke after 4 month of frequent use^^)

I'm sure, that's the cheapest link:
 Buy spiral cutter for only 0,75$

And here the oil sprayer, too:
Oil sprayer 6,65$

Cheapest link i found.
Btw.: You cant use a normal spraybottle to spray oil, believe my, i already tried it.

Metal skewers 10 pc 3$

(the same that i have)

These are the potato tornadoes that i baked yesterday evening.




I intended to put them in the fridge overnight.

I was skeptical.

They look really nice in the box, though.





















(The picture is taken immediately after their were baked)


Now i came home, looking forward to eat yummiest potato tornadoes with lots of resistant starch and even their calories decimated. ^^

I opened the box, that has been in the fridge the whole time:








Here's how they changed:


























I ate a few and unluckily I'm not very pleased. No crisp anymore. And the taste is also not good. Its hard to describe, but somehow the tastes remembers to raw potatoes. Also the consistency became somehow floury in a way that wasn't good.

Conclusion:
I'm not very happy to announce that potato tornadoes doenst commend themselves as a good resistant starch fastfood.

Buffalo mozzarella and chicory

I once went to a local food bank that distributes food to the poor and needy.
Just just have to show that you get money from the state, because your jobless and then you can go there once a week to get food for fee or for 1€. It takes place in a church or something similar.

They distribute food that food stores sorted out. Some of the vegetables are not so fresh anymore or near expiration while other foods are very great and even expensive stuff.
 You can get vegetables there, fruits, bread, milk and other stuff. Always different stuff.

I once got some buffalo mozzarella there and it was very awesome quality, too!
Never ever ate buffalo mozzarella in my life before and the taste was at first a bit unusual, so intense and buffalo-like (what ever this is supposed to mean^^) but also sooo heavenly soft and mild creamy, refreshingly pure milky. I was surprised by the liquid core and sceptical about it. After some reading about it in the Internet, i needed a while to get used to it and at first i couldn't decide whether its incredible yummy or somehow a bit disgusting.

To the misfortune of my wallet, i decided that it is incredible yummy.

When i shop for food i cant help to take a look if they sell some buffalo mozzarella for a price that i can afford with a lot of teeth grinding.

Buffalo mozzarella is very delicate and can turn sour quickly. It the cooling chain is interrupted you might buy some buffalo mozzarella that is already sour, even though its still more than i week to expiration date.

The insider hint is to buy that buffalo mozzarella, that is at least 10 days or more before the expiration date. The more time before the expiration date the better!

 Buffalo mozzarella looses tastes everyday, so its the best so consume it soon enough.

Unfortunately buffalo mozzarella supports animal cruelty, since the male animals get killed in a very cruel way. Its really sad and i am aware of it.
If animal well being matters beyond everything to you, you should not buy buffalo mozzarella.

I, for myself buy buffalo mozzarella only very rarely and my appetite is unluckily greater than my concern about animals. I also eat meat, I'm egoistic and i confess that. I'm still very sorry for the animals and it hurts to think about it.

Ok, back to nicer subjects.

What i recently also very love is chicory. I really love the fine, exquisite, noble, bitter taste.
Its also very healthy and weightloss supportive. Chicory has only 17 kcal a 100gr.
The bitter taste in it comes from a substance named intybin and it helps to produce bile fluid, which is good and cleaning for the liver.

I originally started to eat lots of chicory salad to help my detoxing.
I take zeolite and it ends up in my guts, where it binds various toxins. These toxins could otherwise be reabsorbed in the enterohepatic circulation and like that i can happens that toxins accumulate in the body. :( Not good for you.
Not good for your health, your look, your weight and your mood.

Now, in this process its helpful to have more bile secretes to enhance the detoxing.
 
Sorry, if the graphic is a bit blurry.

If you want to help your liver more, put a warm hot water bottle on your liver area and relax about at least 45 minutes each day. Not too hot, please.
The warmth enhances the blood circulation in your liver so it gets supplied with more energy and nutrients. It will boost its function a little and is a very calming ritual too. Do it in the evening, it can make you tired.

That's why I'm going to buy lots of chicory today. I also love the taste. Here in germany, in costs 1,15€ per 500 gr if your lucky. That's ok. (maybe really cheap compared to other countries food prices)
 If you buy chicory, look out for some that is stored dark. (its always better to buy vegetables from the dark, that weren't exposed to the bright artificial lights of a food store.)
I like chicory best with honey mustard dressing.

By the way, buffalo mozzarella and chicory go well together.^^ The bitter taste of the chicory lets the buffalo mozzarella tastes lightly sweet.

On top of it all i decorate it with a bit of balsamic cream.


Buffalo mozzarella minis with avocado on top of chicory - a real indulgence!!!!

Hahahaha!
You know what?

Ive just been to the Aldi and what was sold price reduced?
Buffalo mozzarella!!! I got some for only 1,03€ a 100 gr! I thought somehow that god wanted to pet my shoulder with that! :-D
That pic shows what i eat right now

 So yummy!

Me and My life: Poverty because of chronic illness

Now, i worked a bit on the blog. I'm more and more satisfied with it. It could become a sort of oasis isle within the Internet.

I'm honest and i confess, that i also run this blog to earn money. (yet i didn't earned anything at all, yet)

Being able to make a "money machine" with what you like, this would be a dream! I think it really need a high intelligence and/or passion to do so.

Until now, i was always too lazy to write frequent blog entries, also because I'm never in the mood to write so much german... ^^
(its so scratchy and exhausting)

Some details more about me:

I'm really poor and often have trouble to buy everything that i need.
It starts with food, where i really have to make wise decisions as buy things in a special offer or more kg of it, and everything like that. I need to eat really healthy so that my diseases improve. Many vegetables i can only afford, when they are offered cheaper.
Often i buy cheap stuff, that is also healthy. Like Potatoes, apples, onions, carrots. Quinoa i buy in 9 kg so it is cheaper.
I am a very good cook and can cook amazing stuff out of everything. I'm really a food enthusiast, and buying/cooking food makes me really happy!


Some food is very expensive but also very, very healthy like avocado, nuts, papaya....

Its so worth it, and that's why i spend very much money on food every month. I'm just a passionate cook and appreciate good food. I really love it!

I also need other health products as zeolite, coconut oil, natron, spirulina, tumeric, xylitol , magnesium chloride, castor oil, and so on and on. (sorry, if the terms for the above are german)
Sometimes i brew a drink out of garlic and lemons with peal. I need to buy these things from the bio store, it has to be absolute pesticide free for this. Also not cheap.

Some of these things i have to ask my parents to give me for Christmas or birthday.


Here some good looking food as well:

Where i really save money is on clothes. I shop for clothes extremely rarely, also because i simply hate it! ;-)
I hate nothing more, than wriggle out of my layered winter clothes in a super overheated second hand store, full of softener smell, to which I'm allergic, store being filled of stressed, unhappy woman, atmosphere there is usually is filled with complexions and the shame about poverty.
Trying on clothes is not such fun for me, looking to the mirror, with my chronic optic neuritis which depraves my sight of depth and other visual abilities... Vision is no fun for me, its rather a migraine trigger.



But at least I am not ashamed of being poor! *laughter

Er, yes and when you wonder now, why i don't work, i can tell you that too.


I'm chronically sick. I was never healthy in my life.

Even as a child, i have had headache everyday, often migraine, heart problems.
When i grew older i got a lots of neurological problems. I have a very strong vertigo from time to time. It feels like I'm drunk. Sometimes i have also movement problems or abnormal muscle rigor.


As you see in the picture of my pants and shoes, i still kept my humor. :-)


To conclude, I'm only able to be active every 3. rd day. I'm usually sick for more than half of the time. And with sick i mean, that i can not go out anymore.

Very often, i go out and be active even though i am too sick, just because I'm a very active and optimistic  and mostly happy person. I'm full of ideas and plans and there are always so much things i want to do. Its not healthy for me to be too active, but i started to live for the moment since i went through times i wasn't sure if I'm going to even have a future.
You know what i mean?

Yes, i life for fun, because if I'm very happy i also have less pain. Most pain medications don't really work for me, so i meditate. I meditate to produce lots of endorphin to get really high, so i don't suffer so much from my pain.

I can feel like on ecstasy, and that's no overrating. I think, god gave me that ability so i can endure my shitty sick live.

I am very thankful, for what i have.

I love my life and its really fun even in spite of all the pain and disability.

But what i really could use is a pair of good durable shoes.^^

Look, here is even my baked apple i recently made:


Otherwise, if you plan to buy something expensive on ebay, amazon or aliexpress, send me the link and i convert the link to an affiliate link. You pay the exact same amount of money as before and i earn a little percentage of platform fees.
This almost only pays out, if more expensive things are bought, like beyond 30€ or $.

Time for the grinch to come.... with pic of me (the grinch)

Hello, my friends!

Today was a.... maybe not the best day, but i feel really good anyway. Really euphoric about my newly gained health with:

-Zeolite
-Ashwagandha
-Tumeric

These things are really cleaning up your body and then repair it. Especially for my rotten nerves, that are so in a mess.
Honestly, i shouldn't let out to do:

-coconut oil

too. But for me it tastes not really good. Gulping down big spoons of it isn't so mine, unluckily.
So what, i feel fine right now. Zeolite is also amazing as a facial mask, it purifies the skin even better than charcoal powder!
...
Now Christmas time is coming and i decided to dye my hair green, Grinch green! :-D
You know what i dislike about Christmas time?

Shopping miles are extremely crowded, and not only that, all the people seem much more stressed and bad mooded than usually.
How ironic if a celebration of love like Christmas, leads to much more public annoyance by the need to buy material presents...

That's why i wanna set a sign and combine my "ugly" Christmas pullover with Grinch green hair.
I'm not one of these grumpy person that are stressed in public, i buy all the presents in time and online ;-)

You know whats sucks?

In winter, i always need to wear ear warmers, if I'm outside without earwarmers for just five minutes i get a bestialic ear ache. (Thanks chronic mono...)

Not all the headbands look good on me or are comfortable. Maybe i have a big head, since most of the headbands are a little too tight for me.
Damn, i need to buy five more like these, they have a Velcro for custom width -skulls!
lol
like this:
 Yeah, i think its really sad how much racism exists at the moment. In Europe, and everywhere else.

I have the feeling, like, no matter how you look, there is always someone to loathe your eye color, your skin color, your hair color.
Your job, or if your jobless.
Your body no matter if your sporty and healthy or a really weak and sick person.
There is always someone who hates all the features that you have or don't have!

Why the hell these people cant look upon their own lives and just spend the energy to improve their lives, instead of hating someone?

I have no guess what experience the people must have made....

But the experiences that i made is also not great! I don't have it too good! I'm not treated too well! I have no health, i have no money.
And all that i have now, is what i was working really hard for, every day!!!!

I also dislike to be liked by certain people, too. Some people are..... really not my type. I also dye my hair green today to be less liked be the false people to be honest.
I'm just fed up with that much polarization. Some people love me, some people absolutely despise me. Only because of the way i look. None of these even know me!!!!

I find it so stupid in what direction humanity seems to evolve now, or better said de-volve.
Sad thing.
They're so superficial, its so pathetic.That's really making me sad recently. That's why i will dye my hair green today to hopefully reduce that spook! Haw, haw!!!!





click me to buy directions hair dye!
......

 Whoa, today i was shopping food in the german Aldi.

I'm so glad i could buy good buffalo mozzarella cheese for 1,10€ a 100 gr. (i know this is probably not really good buffalo mozzarella, but c´mon be not too critical, I'm really really poor, OK?)
In the Aldi i saw a product named "Super Dickmann´s"


Just that name alone is something to smile, i don't have to explain, right?

But then the product also is named "Dicke Nüsse" what could mean "big balls" I'm trivia.

I really think the producer of this made the name so lewd for purpose. Sex sells.

Honestly i on my diet had recently so much appetite for anything sweat and caloric, i could really have some Super Dickmann´s dicke Nüsse right now. x-D

No way, i have to loose weight. Still a bit.

My kidney beans that were soaking in water over the night are cooking ready right now. Kidney beans is one of my favourite main food, its so high protein, low kcal and fill the stomach for very very long.
Please prefere dry kidney beans always, if you live in a country where bisphenol a is not forbidden to be a component of the inside coating of tins. Its a shame!

This is my high protein food for weight loss today:
Of course you also have to move much too, before you eat that.

The same day very late at night:

Finally my hair is dyed bright green now. :-D I share the precious fruit of my work:

Its more green in reality... Hair is still absolutely wet and color looks different in flash light.
I´d say it will be pastel greenish in daylight. I just combed all the hair in my face, to not be fully visible. Combed in the other direction the green is much more intense.



Hell, im so sexy.






Haw, haw!
