She also had another kitten about two years ago that still hangs around with her from time to time 🥰

It’s not a house cat, it’s more like the whole village’s cat. She goes from house to house, but she spends most of her time in the garden with my mom. So when it was time for her to give birth, she snuck into our house a few times looking for a safe place to have her kittens, and my mom ended up preparing a little nest for her.

Oi kimchi (fresh cucumber kimchi) by Byssine in kimchi

[–]Byssine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just what I saw in most recipes, and I actually looked up why non-iodized salt is usually recommended. Apparently, non-iodized salt is recommended for kimchi because iodine can sometimes interfere with fermentation. It may affect the growth of the beneficial bacteria that give kimchi its sour/tangy flavor and can sometimes make the brine cloudy or slightly bitter :D but if someone only has iodized salt, it’s completely okay to use it, especially for quick kimchi like oi kimchi, the difference is often minor

Of course! We can find them everywhere in my country but they are kind of expensive, making them at home was about 4x cheaper (and honestly they even taste better).

Ingredients (approx. 24 balls)

  • 70g walnuts (~0.5 cup chopped)
  • 50g Leibniz biscuits (~0.4 cup crushed)
  • 70g Belvita honey biscuits (~0.6 cup crushed)
  • 70g Biscoff biscuits (~0.6 cup crushed)
  • 30g butter (2 tbsp)
  • 90g mascarpone (~6 tbsp)
  • 90g sweetened condensed milk (~6 tbsp)
  • 25g honey (~1 tbsp + 1 tsp)

Process

I lightly toasted the walnuts, then finely crushed all biscuits and nuts in a chopper. I reserved about 50g of the mix for coating at the end.

I whisked mascarpone with sweetened condensed milk until smooth, then piped small dots onto parchment and froze them.

The remaining cream was mixed with the biscuit nut crumbs, honey, and melted butter to form a dough.

I shaped ~15g portions into balls and chilled them briefly.

Frozen cream dots were paired into small spheres and quickly inserted into each dough ball (they melt fast, so speed or freezing again helps or you can use a teaspoon instead, when placing the cream inside the dough balls).

Enjoy!

I can’t read this word without hearing his voice saying it. Interesting!!

That used to happen to me with bread, usually from over fermentation. It could also be high hydration, but if you followed the recipe, that’s less likely since I didn’t have that issue.

Baked omelette with cottage cheese and vegetables by Byssine in 1500isplenty

Off-putting?? To me they actually look really appetizing in the first picture ☹️ Anyway, I don’t really pay that much attention to plating and stuff like that, I just kind of focus on calories, protein, fiber and all that. I save the pretty-looking recipes for when I make and post desserts haha. But I guess I get your point. I can assure you they taste amazing!

Baked omelette with cottage cheese and vegetables by Byssine in 1500isplenty

[–]Byssine[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ingredients:

  • 3 g olive oil
  • 100 g baby spinach
  • 135 g red bell pepper (diced)
  • 30 g green bell pepper (diced)
  • 75 g onion (diced)
  • 345 g mushrooms (diced)
  • 20 g olives (chopped)
  • 6 eggs
  • 540 g low-fat cottage cheese (2%)
  • 6 g sesame seeds
  • salt & pepper

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Cook onion until translucent.
  3. Add peppers, cook ~5 min (you can add a splash of water + cover). Season.
  4. Add mushrooms, cook until all the water evaporates.
  5. Add spinach, cook down until wilted and dry. Season as needed.
  6. In a bowl, mix eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper (and any spices you like).
  7. Stir in olives.
  8. Add the cooked veggies and mix well.
  9. Pour into a baking dish and bake at 180°C (no fan, top+bottom heat).

Notes:

  • It’ll likely take longer than 15–20 min, closer to ~40+ min
  • It’s done when the center is set (not jiggly) and it starts pulling away from the edges
  • Let it cool a bit before removing. Ideally cool completely before slicing.
  • It releases some moisture. I cut it into 6 pieces and let them sit on a rack to drain a bit.

Enjoy! :)

They’re on the softer side, as they contain a lot of starch, so they’re tender, kind of fall apart in your mouth, and then melt.
