2 Potato Salad

100g baby potatoes, quartered

100g sweet potatoes, cubed (small to medium cubes – if the cubes are too large it may not cook through properly)

Smoked paprika (2 ml – can be quite strong, so be careful)

Cayenne pepper (to taste)

Salt and Pepper to taste

1 boiled egg, quartered

1 small spring onion, chopped

3 small gherkins, sliced

a handful (or two) lettuce and fresh herbs (mix)

30ml low fat mayonnaise

15ml lite chutney

Place baby potatoes and sweet potatoes in an oven bag, mix with spices and seasoning and bake in the oven at 180C for about 30 minutes until soft.  Set aside to cool.

Once cool, assemble salad.  Make a bed of lettuce first.  Mix gherkins, spring onions and potatoes gently (so that potatoes doesn’t break).  Spoon on top of lettuce.  Place egg quarters on top.  And serve dressing(mayo and chutney mix) on the side.

Mini Frittatas

These little frittatas are so quick and easy to whip up.  Because it is baked in muffin tins, it is easy to cook as well – and gives you lovely lil’ individual portions.  I made this as a ‘New Years’ breakfast – protein-rich and a healthy way to start the new year.

Serves 4 (5 mini frittatas per person – so you can easily double the recipe if need be)

It is basically a one-step recipe:  4 eggs, ¼ cup of milk, aromat/salt, black pepper = whisk together!

Place in pre-heated oven (180C) and back for about 8 minutes.
