I was recently sent a loaf of Baker's Delight Cape Seed bread, along with some vouchers to give away to my readers :)

Abit about the loaf:

Every Cape Seed Loaf Contains

• Iron – for healthy energy levels.
• Vitamin E – for healthy skin.
• Zinc – for a strong immune system.
• Calcium – for strong bones and teeth.
• Omega-3 ALA – to maintain a healthy body.
• Niacin – to help supply energy to the body.
• Magnesium – for healthy muscles.

And it's also

• High in fibre – for a healthy digestive system.
• Low GI (48) – for sustained energy.
• High in protein – for growth and repair of muscles.
• Rich in antioxidants – for general wellbeing.

I had recently tried this breakfast combo in the blue Mountains: Banana, ricotta, & honey. A relatively healthy breakfast idea!

I really enjoyed the seeds in this loaf, compared to a standard white or wholemeal slice of bread, the seeds give you a bit of crunch in every bite, & also, seed are good for you right?? hehe

I have two Cape Seed Loaf (regular size) vouchers to give away.

Baked not Fried Polenta chips with Aoli

I had never worked with polenta before, it's just something i was never intrested in making. Until i found this post while browsing the internet. A healthy alternative to potato chips, i had to try it. I actually tried to deep fry them but, they all just stuck to the bottom of the pan, broke into small pieces, and weren't very appetizing :(

But into the oven they went, and they turned into lovely golden crunchy yummy morsels, and guilt free snacking! & i love aoli sauce, could not go past dipping them into some!

Polenta chips

2 cups organic milk

2 cups water

1 1/2 cups polenta (see above)

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup melted clarified butter or olive oil

Bring the milk and water just to a boil in a large saucepan. Slowly stream in the polenta while stirring constantly. Stir in the salt and turn down the heat a bit if needed (you don't want the polenta to scorch). Continue stirring until the polenta thickens up (see picture), this can take anywhere from just a few minutes to much longer depending on your polenta. Stir in the cheese.

Remove from heat and spread out 1/2-inch thick onto a baking sheet using a spatula (although I feel like I get a better shape by letting it cool a minute or two and then using my hands). Chill in a refrigerator for at least an hour, or overnight. Cut into wide-cut "fry" shapes using a straight-edge for guidance and uniformity (or opt for a more rustic cut). Rub each fry with a bit of clarified butter or olive oil and sprinkle with some salt.

Bake in a 450 degree oven, middle rack, for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip the fries once after ten minutes.

Quick Aoli

2T Mayo [or more depending on how much you need]

1t of fresh squeezed lemon [up to one whole lemon, if necessary]

1 - 2 crushed garlic cloves [add as many as you like for taste]

pinch of salt

How to make it:

Mix all ingredients together. You can add more of any of the ingredients....it's up to you and how you want it to taste!
