Diet often is all about cheating. Cheating your mind into thinking you're eating something desirably unhealthy while eating very healthy instead. That's why I'm gonna prestent to you today: Aubergine Pizza Piccolini.

For this recipie you will need:

• 1 Aubergine
• Smoked Ham
• Garlic
• Leek
• Zucchini
• Mushrooms
• Canned chopped tomato
• Balsamic Cream
• Parmesan
• Flax Seeds

Of course the goal is to top the Piccolini with the pizza tipping you like. So if you prefer spinach or salami or tuna, go ahead and use that :)


Start with cutting your Mini Pizza Crusts. I cut reasonably sized slices of aubergine, cutting that thin end-part sideways.

Season the aubergine before putting in into the oven at 150° C. It will stay in there until your topping is done.

Now for the sauce. Of course you cold really make it pizza-like with putting the topping onto the sauce. But I don't want to use a second pot so I will mix the topping with the sauce.
 
I LOVE diced smoked ham. You can use the exact amount you want - plus it gives you a tiny bit of fat to fry your vegetables in.

Speaking of vegetables: Cut them into chunks to your liking.

Add the garlic into the pan first and soften it ...

... before adding the rest of the vegetables.

Cook untill they are nice and soft as well.

Now add the tomato sauce ...

And cook untill it's pretty much reduced to a gorgeous sauce. Season to taste.

Usually I have a piece of parmesan and use the grater. Today we're using pre-sliced Parmesan though, so I had to cut it very small in order to sprinkle the Piccolini.

Once the sauce is done set it aside to cool a bit and check your Mini Crusts. They should be done as well.

Now it's time to build the Pizzas. Top off the crusts ...

... add the cheese and maybe some balsamic cream underneath ...

... and put it back into the oven until the cheese has molten.

Enjoy!!

Who doesn't love Chocolate Chip cookies? They just combine everything that's tasty - but with the 'tasty' part being Fat and Sugar and Chocolate ... yeah, they're not exactly on the 'healthy' side. But don't despair! Because I might just have THE recipe for you.

Chocolate Chip cookies - healthified

For a batch of cookies you will need:

• 1 Banana
• Oats
• Raw Kakao-Nibs
• Vanilla (Optional)

This recipe is as easy as it gets. Slice up your ripe, sweet banana and toss it into a bowl alongside all of the other ingredients.

Now mix it all together until you have a nice, sticky ball of goodness.

Depending on the size you want your cookies to be either take a tea-spoon or a table spoon and place individual heaps on a baking tray.

Almost done. Put them in the oven at around 150°C for 10-15 Minutes. It really depends on the size of the cookies and on how you dry you want them to be.

And there you have it! Your very own, healthy Chocolate Chips cookies! They taste amazing with a glass of almond milk.

But keep in mind that they don't keep too long - it's banana after all. Eat them within 1-2 days :)

If you're using Weight Watchers, this batch of cookies has around 5 ProPoints.

I love fastfood as much as the next girl. But we all know that fastfood is not exactly helping with weightloss. So, just as I did with my Turkey Burger before, I came up with a version for Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.

For this recipe you will need:

• Chicken breast
• Almond Flour (Or Ground Almonds)
• Pumpkin
• Mushrooms
• Spinach
• Garlic
• Shallots
• Broccoli
• Bell-pepper
• Olive Oil
• Spices

 
We will start with the Fries. I discovered a Turkish store in town with a huge selection of amazing fruits and vegetables. Last week they had this HUMONGOUS squash witch they sold in slices, so I got a piece.

Begin by cutting the squash into frie-sized pieces.

Put them in a bowl and add some olive oil and spices. I used Paprika, garlic powder and tomato-mozzarella spice.

Next cut your chicken breast into nugget sized pieces.

Go to work on them with a meat tenderizer.

Mix a bit of almond flour with spices and salt and coat the pieces. You won't be using all of the flour - but don't re-use it since it got in contact with raw chicken meat.

 

Put the fries and the nuggets into the oven, around 150° C - 180° C for about 25-30 Minutes.

Now for the vegetables! Cut off some broccoli and steam it for about 20 Minutes. I have a steamer but you can do it any way you like or boil it.

Next we will make some extra vegetables. Cut the mushrooms and fry them in a pan with a bit of love oil.

Clean and cut the spinach and the shallot.

Since the spinach will be done very quickly wait till the mushrooms are almost done before adding it. Season with salt and spices to your liking.

Now for the Ketchup: Chop up a red bellpepper and a clove of carlic. With a bit of water put them in a blender until you have a nice sauce before pouring in a pot.

 

 

 Start reducing the sauce until you have a thick consistency.

 

By the time your Nuggets and Fries are done ...

... your Mushrooms should be done, too ...

... so should your brokkoli ...

... and your ketchup.

Arrange everything and serve!

There you have it: Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.
