Getting "healthy": Juice

apple


So recently we bought an juice extractor. 
We tasted a really tasty ginger, carrot, apple and beetroot juice at a cool lunch spot.
So we felt like we  had to buy an juice extractor.
We choose the Philips HR 1832/00 from the Viva Collection. So far we are very happy of it!

 We tried different "recipes", some were good others not.
We found a favorite juice. It's an apple, beetroot, cucumber and ginger juice.



For two glasses you will need:

Half a cucumber
one apple
one small beetroot (washed well)
And a tiny piece of ginger


So just wash your fruit and vegetables and throw them into the juicer. 

 Mix the juices together.

 Add in a splash of water and some ice cubes.

 There you have all your veggies in just one glass!



Until next time,

Apple and Almond Cake, The A & A Cake

almond cake

Lately I've been really into cakes, which is quite strange since we are in the month of june. Let me explain. 
At this time of the year it should be nice and hot, so that the only threat that you could give yourself should consist of ice-cream. But this year it hasn't been neither summer, neither spring weather.
So I had to rely on those traditional filling desserts which are cakes.

 I decided tot make an Apple and Almond Cake (I am going to call it the A & A Cake). I just made my basic yogurt cake (which is a family recipe) and added apples and almonds (to enrich it a little bit).


For the A & A Cake you will need:

 1 pot yogurt (125 gr)(obviously)
1 pot vegetable oil
2 pots white sugar and vanilla sugar
3 pots all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
2 apples, peeled and sliced
40 gr almond flakes

 Preheat your oven at 170°C.

 Whisk the first 5 ingredients together. Separate the eggs. Add the egg yolks. 
Beat the egg whites until they're nice and fluffy. Add them slowly to the first mix.

 Butter and flour your tin (23 cm) and pour half of the mix into the tin and put the half of the apples in it. Pour the remaining mix on top of the apple-layer. Add the remaining apples, make sure to make a beautiful layer. Sprinkle the almond flakes on top.

 Bake it in the pre-heated oven for 45 to 50 minutes.

 Take it out. Let it cool on rack.

 Serve

I also made a mini one and that's how it looked like at the inside ...



Tasty isn't it! The next recipe will be a little bit more salty and fishy. On that final note.

Goodbye

XO
