Curry Chia Damper bread

Mix self-raising flour and water, gradually adding the other ingredients (I used only just enough oil to ease mixing and a a of tablespoon of curry powder for cup of flour) until the texture is thick but only just runs off the spoon by itself. Then bake in a preheated 180 ° C conventional oven until browning.

Kale and pb sandwich

While I was staying with my dad recently, my uncle, who is living in the US came to stay. He is vegetarian, and eats a LOT of bread. That's why this sandwich is interesting: Kale contains protein and so does peanut butter.

I used crunchy peanut butter because salads often have nuts added for "crunch" factor. There was a lot of kale in between those slices of bread, but also lots of peanut butter (spread on both slices). So despite the amount of (raw!) kale, I didn't end up tearing the bread away from the kale while eating the sandwich. In fact, the peanut butter seemed to soften the kale. To be fair though, I tore the bits of kale that didn't have any stems...

Pizza toast

I was craving pizza and just happened to get all the pizza toppings together except for actual pizza base. This is bread slices spread with tomato paste, topped with bacon etc and sprinkled with cheese.

Smoked salmon salad sandwich

I don't often make sandwiches, but when I do, I make sure those two slices of carb filled material are sandwiching a worthwhile amount of food. This sandwich contains salmon, egg (microwaved on a plate), tomato, cheese and mayonnaise. Perfect for taking to school!

Kangaroo Burger

It never occurred to me until now that I could eat a normal sized burger and not be hungry afterwards. That is until I realised that kangaroo burger patties are small anyway and only need a small bun (not those large hamburger style buns where you tend to find that there is way too much bread for the meat and you have to use far more sauce for everything to be not too dry). By making the bun smaller, I had enough calories to add a side of vegetables and stay within my 400 calorie range.

Eggs on cheese toasts

This morning I decided that I was going to have an egg on toast and that while I was at it, it might as well be cheesy toast. I made this meal by microwaving two eggs on a small plate for a minute or two. It might be a good idea to stop the microwave after the first minute though, because eggs have an annoying habit of exploding if you cook them too long. Before I was doing that, I had sprinkled two pieces of bread with a little cheese and put them in the oven. This should only take 10 minutes at most, but I left them in too long and ended up with something comparable to cheesy rusks (rusks are those rounds of toasted bread similar to Melba toasts. They are usually made by European brands).
