Tangy Tomato Spinach Rice
Feb 19th
Here is a healthy dish for both kids and adults. Couple of days ago my son was not in a mood to let me do anything for dinner. I just spent 5 minutes of prep time and voila I had a healthy home cooked dinner for my son and a nice side for ourselves. Once again pasta sauce comes in handy, you save time and yet get added nutrition and taste. I made the rice very mushy for my son (Indian khichdi style) but you can reduce the water quantity by half to make them like regular rice.

French Toast Pizza
Jan 19th
By Heidemarie Swanepoel
Sometimes we get into a real bind, and don’t have time to cook a full meal. But if you’re anything like me, you want to give your family something wholesome to eat. Just because it’s quick and easy to prepare, does not mean it has to be unhealthy.
Tonight was just such a night. We got home, and knew we would have to fly again early morning. So I made French toast with a bit of flair: I crossed it with a pizza.
Ingredients: (Per Person)
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 egg
- 2 – 3 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tomato relish or More >
