Crunchy potatoes / Cartofi crocanti

I know that everybody loves potatoes: boiled, fried, in the oven, with sauce - in every form of it.
So today I have prepared some crunchy chilli potatoes in the oven
You need:
- 5-6 potatoes
- oil
- chilli flakes
- some oregano and thyme
- salt and pepper
- a head of garlic


 Stiu ca toata lumea iubeste cartofii: fierti, prajiti, la cuptor, cu sos - in orice forma a sa.
Asa ca astazi am preparat niste cartofi crocanti si iuti la coptor.
Ai nevoie de :
- 5-6 cartofi
- ulei
- fulgi de chilli
- un pic de oregano si cimbru
- sare si piper
- o capatana de usturoi

Pell and cut the potatoes into cubes. Then mix the oil with the spices very well, then mix them with te potatoes and the garlic ( do not clean the garlic - as in the picture).

Curatam si taiem cartofii cubulete. Apoi amestecam uleiul impreuna cu condimentele foarte bine, apoi le amestecam cu cartofii si usturoiul ( nu curatati usturoiul - asa ca in poza).

Put them in the oven for about 1 hour at 180 degrees.
We ate them with some pickled cucumbers.

Ii punem la cuptor pentru aproape 1h la 180 de grade.

Noi i-am mancat cu castraveti murati.

It was YUMMMY and crunchy!!

Boiled Green SoyBeans / Pastai verzi de soia fierte

Last night we wanted to watch a movie and also wanted to have a snack with...so i was thinking what to cook...then i remembered that we have a bag with frozen soybeans - leave them in the pods -  ( edamame ). All i can say that i was a veryyy good option :)
Edamame are high in fiber and protein and low in fat and calories.

Aseara am vrut sa ne uitam la un film dar de asemenea voiam sa si rontaim ceva...asa ca m-am gandit ce sa gatesc...apoi mi-am adus aminte ca avem o punga de pastai de soia in congelator. Ce pot sa spun este ca a fost o alegere foarrrte buna :)

Ele sunt bogate in fibre si proteine si de asemenea au putine calorii si grasimi.

All you need is:
- a bag with green soybeans ( fresh or frozen..as you wish)

- salt

- water

Optional:

- chilli flakes

- curry

- pepper

Tot ce iti trebuie este:

- o punga de pastai de soia

- sare

- apa

Optional:

- fulgi de chilli

- curry

- piper

First boil a lot of water in a pot with 2-3 tablespoons of salt. When it's boiling put the edamame into the water and boil for 5 minutes.

Taste one edamame and if it's not salty enough, sprinkle more salt over boiled edamame. Spread the edamame on a flat tray to cool.

Mai intai fierbem multa apa intr-o oala cu 2-3 linguri de sare. Cand da in clocot punem si pastaile in apa pentru 5 minute.

Gustam o pastaie si daca nu este sarata indeajuns, mai presaram sare peste pastaile fierte. Le lasam sa se raceasca un pic.

A little tip:  when eating this delightful, filling treat make sure you skim the skin with your teeth and only eat the beans (not the shell).  As you do that, you'll get all the yummy spices.

Un mic sfat: atunci cand se mananca se mesteca doar boabele, dar curatand pastaia in gura ( la fel ca semintele ), putand astfel beneficia de toate aromele de pe coaja

Day 9&10 / A noua si a zecea zi

I am sooo sorry for my absence...i had some hetic days over here..and didn't had any time for photos and writing the recipes..

I've ate as always fruits Juice - with some carrots, cucumbers or spinach.

BUT...I can say that these 10 days were hard but refreshing. Because we are use to eat solid meals..when you have only to drink is hard..as all habits die hard. 
The results were:
- I lost some weight...i don't know how much..but upon my cloths I can say that there are some kilos
-  My skin is smoother
- No bloating in this days
- Had a little bit more energy

So my advice is that..twice a year make a 10 days fasting...it will be good for you and for your body.

Imi pare asaaa de rau pentru absenta mea...am avut niste zile nebune aici...nu am avut timp pentru poze sau sa scriu retete...

Am mancat ca deobicei sucuri de fructe- cu cativa morcovi, castraveti sau spanac.

DAR ...ce pot sa zic ca aceste 10 zile au fost grele , dar revigorante. Deoarece suntem obisnuiti sa mancam mancare solida...cand vine vorba sa doar bei ...este greu....doar obiceiurile vechi nu se uita.

Rezultatele sunt:
- am slabit cateva kg...nu stiu cate...dar dupa haine as putea zice ca sunt cateva
- pielea mea e mai neteda
- nu am mai avut probleme cu balonarea
- am avut un pic mai multa energie

Deci sfatul meu este ca de 2 ori pe an sa se tina aceasta detoxifiere...o sa fie bine atat pentru tine cat si pentru corpul tau.

Mens sana in corpore sano
