One of my favourite recipes: Galician style Octopus - Typical Spanish recipe
GALICIAN STYLE OCTOPUS
Typical Spanish dish
The Galician style octopus is an octopus dish typical from Galicia, a region in the northwest of Spain. This region is known for its seafood tradition, with this recipe being spread to the whole country as it’s one of the best and probably the yummiest way to prepare octopus (in my opinion) with a few cheap ingredients. On top of that, it’s quite an easy recipe to make, both for cooking lovers to experts.
Ingredients for Galician style octopus (4 people)
• Boiled octopus, about 2 to 3 kg.
• Paprika, spicy or sweet, according to taste.
• 3 or 4 medium potatoes
• Thick salt
• Olive oil
Steps to make Galician style octopus (4 people)
1. First we boil the potatoes. We pour plenty of water with a handful of salt into a casserole, and we put the potatoes in it. We bring it to boil, and let it cook for about 30 min. When we prick with a knife and it comes out of the potato without difficulty, they will be ready.
2. Let the potatoes cool and peel them. Then, we cut them in slices about 0.5 to 1cm thick approx. and place them on a plate. A wooden plate is traditionally used, but you can do it on a ceramic one.

3. Chopped the boiled octopus in small pieces, about one finger thick. It’s easier to use scissors than a knife for the cutting. Then, put it on top of the potatoes.

4. Finally, season with a large amount of paprika on top, a drip of olive oil – extra virgin better – and thick salt.

And that’s it! We have our Galician style octopus ready to eat.

Extra tip: if you prefer to eat it warm, put it in the microwave for about 30 secs. Enjoy!

Not a fancy one but definitely delicious and easy, also dirt cheap, depending on your location- I can get the main ingredient pearl barley for 0.5euro/kg

Ingredients:
Pearl barley
carrots
garlic
oil (lard or butter can be used, depending on your personal digestive tolerance)

Optional:
Fried crispy bacon
onions


1.Soak pearl barley overnight or at least few hours to decrease cooking time.
2. Set barley to cook; cook until chewable and soft but not viscous; it should be loose.
3. While cooking, add oil to pan, add sliced garlic or onion, fry for a few minutes.
4. Add a half of carrots sliced to circles and a half grated to the pan.
5. Cook the vegetables until they are a little crispy and soft at the same time.
6. After pearl barley are cooked, pour off all the water from them and add them to the pan.
7. Fry everything together for a few minutes more, add more oil if necessary.
8. Add salt

For digestion friendly version, use just a little garlic and carrots only.

For the most delicious experience, use onions(finely chopped) instead of garlic, add a little of cilantro (if u dont hate it).

Bacon enhances flavor; for more protein just add any other processed meat to the mix.

I make delicious pumpkin soup. I am throwing in a recipe for meringue cookies because they are easy and pretty.

[Tripdantz31]

I make this for breakfast almost everyday since it's quite easy to make and has really good macros

Ingredients:-

Half a cup of oats
2 eggs
Stevie/splenda/your choice of sweetener
1 cup of skik milk (you can use plain milk for a more creamier texture)


Add the oats, milk and eggs in a saucepan, and mix the eggs until the yolks have blended with the milk. Add some stevia to it.

Heat it on a stove top for around 3 and a half minutes.

It tastes really good and the macros are :-

Carbs:- 39 g
Fats:- 12.5 g
Protein :- 25 g

You can then top it up with fruits and berries and you can also throw in a couple tablespoons of pb for healthy fats.

Maple maple maple!!! I want syrup on everything- and the fake stuff is a little funky to me. I use the Frontier Maple Flavor in plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Or I heat up some vanilla protein milk and add some- it's incredible. So sweet, and so much flavor. I also mix it with egg whites and make a cinnamon egg white omellate, that I put on half a toasted Light Flat-Out. You can even do a little bit of almond butter on the flat-out in between the egg white- it's so good, and like 120 cal (without the almond butter). The strawberry flavoring from Frontier is just as good too!

Tuna mac and cheese-get some of those Velveeta mac and cheese cups that you cook in the mircrowave. Heat them, add the cheese, then put in a can of tuna. The first time is a little bit weird but it starts tasting better and I've come to like it as a post workout meal.

Ramen noodles-cook the ramen noodles as normal, then add a few packets of Taco Bell Fire Sauce or Diabolo Sauce.

I'm not much of a cook. I generally just make throw together meals like the ones I mentioned above.

High-Protein Banana Bread Recipe!


Ingredients

2 bananas
2 eggs
2 cups of quick cooking oats
1 cup of your favorite protein powder
1/2 cup of sweetener of your choosing (stevia, Splenda, honey, etc)
1/2 cup of water
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
a few dashes of your favorite seasoning (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger)
chopped nuts

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Mash the bananas and mix with the other ingredients.
Spray a bread loaf pan with your favorite backing oil and coat it evenly with a tablespoon of protein powder, to prevent your banana bread from sticking to the pan.
Bake for 40 minutes, but regularly check on it and test it with a knife or toothpick. If nothing sticks to your knife or toothpick, it's finished backing.

I just made this tonight and wanted to eat the whole loaf in one sitting. This tastes really good and easy to make. Would have tasted even better if I had some riper bananas. Based on the ingredients using ProMore Frosted Cinnamon Bun and no nuts added:

I hate sweet potatoes, but they have such good nutrition I try to eat them. I like sweet potato fries. This is a super easy recipe.

-Preheat oven to 425 F

-Slice the potatoes into ~0.5 cm slices (the smaller the crispier)

-Put just a little bit of olive oil like a teaspoon. The less you use the crispier they will be.

-Toss them with liberal amounts of: salt, pepper, paprika, and a little bit of cayenne for some spice (a little goes a long way).

-Bake 20 mins then flip them, and bake for another 10 mins.

Breakfast Fajitas:


6 eggwhites and a yolk
fat free cheddar cheese
fat free flour tortillas


Beat the whites and yolk and put in a skillet with cooking spray(I personally use canola cooking spray). Then, cook the eggs over a medium flame. Turn eggs over and add some cheddar cheese.
Meanwhile heat up the tortillas in the mike or oven.
Finally, Place eggs in the tortillas and roll up. you might want to add some salsa.

Each fajita: calories 131, carbs 16 grms, protein 15 grms and fat 0.5 grms.

Good luck.

I've tried a similar recipe before, and ate it for breakfast too! Quick prep, and tastes great. However, I had to switch up to a protein heavy breakfast to avoid getting sleepy throughout the day.

450 calories, 54g protein, 30g carb and 16g fat.

After many attempts and too many raw or mushy sweet potatoes thrown away, I have finally perfected the baked sweet potato.
How To Make:
1. Wash potato with warm water using a vegetable brush
2. Pat dry with paper towel
3. Pre-heat oven to 420º F
4. Cut square of aluminum foil and place potato on top
5. Poke shallow holes through the potato (maybe 3 times from top to bottom, rotate and repeat)
6. Dash small amount of olive oil and rub evenly over potato
7. Enclose potato in foil and place in oven
8. Time for 45 minutes.
9. Using oven mits and tongs, open the foil and poke middle of potato with a steak knife (Careful, very hot). If the knife slides through center easily, you are done!
10. If potato is not yet done, put back in oven for 5 more minutes and repeat until finished.
11. Let sit at least 15 minutes before consuming.

This is a great way to make 4-8 potatoes at a time, which is perfect for batch cooking. Sweet potatoes are perfect for gaining healthy weight fast.
Let me know what you think!
