WORLD FOOD DAY


World Food Day is celebrated every year on 16 October and being a food blogger and a food lover, I couldn't help celebrating! I hope you did the same too! In case you forgot the World Food Day or  you just did not know it, there is no reason to worry as you can celebrate it even now and cook something delicious for you and your loved ones! Actuallly, apart from celebrating this day it is a good opportunity to remember that hunger still exists. There are people who cannot cover  even their basic needs for food and accomondation. These people may live on the other side of the world or next door. It is responsibility for all of us to help them survive! 
But let's go back to our kitchens to cook an appetizer! Stuffed potatoes!


Ingredients
4 servings
2 medium potatoes
50 g. broccoli 
Salt
Pepper
1 egg
100 gr. gruyere
100 gr. cream cheese

Process

Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Put your unpeeled potatoes in a pan with boiling and salted water. Water should cover them.Your potatoes are done if you encounter no resistance when you poke them with a fork. Let them cool before you halve them. Put the broccoli in hot water for two to three minutes. Drain the broccoli and cut into very small pieces. Grate the gruyere. Beat the egg in a bowl. Add the gruyere, the broccoli and the cream cheese to the egg. Toss gently. Salt and pepper. Remove the inside of the potatoes (which you can use to make a great potato salad). Fill the halved potatoes with the filling and bake at 180 degrees Celsius until cheese melts and the egg is cooked.
Serve the potatoes hot!

TODAY I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ALMOST ANYTHING

Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed; as Bruno Mars' song goes. I think that everybody feels the same sometimes but then you get hungry and you have to change the lyrics a little bit to " Today I don't feel like doing almost anything". When this day comes, cook the following omelet. It is healthy, low-cal, delicious and of course easy-to do! 



Ingredients
2 servings
3 eggs
50 grams broccoli florets
60 grams feta cheese
1 soring onion
4 black olives
1 tomato
Olive oil
4 tbsps. milk
Salt
Pepper
Oregano

Instructions

Put broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to soften.
Cut the broccoli, the spring onion, the tomato and the feta in small pieces.
Halve the olives and remove the stones. There is an old trick to halve the olives quickly. Put them on a cutting board and press only one each time with a wooden spoon. 
Break the eggs and beat them gently in a bowl. Add milk, salt, pepper, oregano and continue to beat until they combine together. Preheat the olive oil at medium heat in a round pan. Add the omelet to the centre of the pan. Tilt the pan so that the eggs spread out evenly over the bottom. When the edges begin to turn yellow and thicken flip your omelet using a spatula. Leave the other to be cooked.Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle the vegetables, the olives and the feta over the omelet. Salt and pepper and  good appetite!
