HOW TO MAKE A TASTY-T (TOMATO TOAST BREAD)

How To Make A Delicious / Nutritious Tomato Bread

Ingredients For Making Tomato Bread

• 4 slices of Bread
• 2 ripe Tomatoes (each sliced into two)
• 1 Garlic clove (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoon of olive oil (optional)

Equipment Needed

• A Grill or Toaster
• A Knife

Instructions For Making Your Tomato Bread

• Preheat the grill, then toast the bread under a hot grill until you get lightly golden brown on both sides of the sliced bread.
• Now rub each slice of the bread with half a fresh juicy tomato. If you decide to use any of garlic and olive oil, sprinkle a little of each over the top.
• You can cut into smaller sizes, serve and eat immediately.

Some cannot eat fresh tomato as it is, so they put it back in the toaster or add all the ingredients in-between two slices of bread before heating in the toaster. 

This makes the tomato a bit cooked and tastier but remember that it is at the detriment of some nutrients.

TIPS & WARNINGS:

• Don’t use damaged tomatoes. They can land you in the hospital.
• You can add some blanched vegetables into the mix to make it more nutritious.

BENEFITS

* Tomatoes help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer and also regulate the blood sugar level.
* Olive oil works as an anti ageing agent
* Garlic help improve sperm quality in men.

HOW TO MAKE SCAMBLED EGGS

INGREDIENTS

• Eggs (depending on the amount to be prepared)
• Salt
• Seasoning e.g Knorr cubes
• Pepper (Chopped Atarodo OR Dried pepper as you desire)
• Tomatoes (If you desire).
• Onions (If you desire).
• Low fat butter OR Olive oil (for frying).

METHOD

• Break eggs into a bowl, dice your tomatoes and onions(if you decide to use them).
• Add your tomatoes, onions, pepper, salt to taste & seasoning into the bowl, then whisk all ingredients together.
• Get a dried non sticky frying pan ready, add your low fat butter or olive oil into the pan. Move the pan by its handle, so that the melted butter glides around the surface & coats the entire pan.
• When it heats and begins to evaporate, the pan is just hot enough to pour in the egg mixture. Continue to whisk the mixture with your turning spatula as you pour the egg mixture into the pan. Set the burner on low.
• As soon as the egg starts to stick together to the pan move the mixture around the pan with a spatula to scrape the cooked eggs from the bottom to the top of the mixture. This keeps the eggs from developing a leathery brown skin on the bottom.
• Once you notice your eggs are cooked (Your eggs are done after there's no liquid of any kind left in the pan) take them off the heat, as the hot pan will continue to cook them. If you prefer your eggs to get drier, leave them on the heat as you desire.
• Remove your eggs from the pan before they lose their moist appearance. Your meal is ready!

HOW TO MAKE HOME MADE PEANUTS BUTTER

You wont believe how easy it is to make peanut butter from home.

That's why i can share the method with you all especially HLF peanut butter lovers.
Lets go!........

🥜Items and Ingredients for Peanut Butter🥜

👉 One bottle of peanut or groundnut
👉 Salt (Optional)
👉 Vegetable oil
👉 Cocoa powder (Optional)
A powerful blender or Food processor

Method🥜

√ Pour the entire well peeled roasted groundnut or peanut into the blender.

If your blender cannot contain it, process the peanut in 2 batches.

√ Start the blender at high speed and blend for about 1 minute.

Stop and start the blender again until the groundnut had completely turned into crumbs while producing little oil.

Do not use you blender continuously for more than a minute it could damage the motor.

√ Add two or more table spoons of vegetable oil.

 This is because some groundnuts do not contain enough oil to make the peanut butter creamy.

√ Stop the blender and add a pinch of salt.

This is clearly optional since most groundnuts had been well salted.

Continue blending at high speed while occasionally changing to low speed.

Do this for about a minute or two.

Watch the peanut if it had completely turned creamy or puree like.

√ Stop the blender and scoop out the peanut butter into a jar or plastic container.

√ Depending on your taste, you can decide to add a tea spoon of cocoa powder or a table spoon.

This will change the colour of the peanut butter from light brown to dark brown.

√ Keep in the refrigerator to solidify slightly.

Your peanut butter is ready.

Egg Nutrition, Value and Safekeeping

Whether scrambled, sunny-side up, or in omelets, eggs are easy, versatile, and inexpensive. One large egg gives you 6 grams of protein and has lots of vitamins and minerals -- all for only 70 calories.

They’re also not the bad-for-you food we once thought they were. Eating an egg a day should be OK for most people.

If you’re closely watching your cholesterol, try egg whites only.


Yolks and Whites

All of an egg’s cholesterol and fat are in its flavorful, rich yolk.

A large egg has as much cholesterol as a single serving of liver.

 The yolk isn’t all bad, though. It holds a lot of the egg’s vitamins, including all of its vitamins A, D, and E. About half of an egg’s protein is in the white, which is low-calorie and fat-free.

The Best Way to Store Eggs

🌖 Keep your eggs in the main part of the refrigerator, not the door (even if it has a little egg caddy). The main part of your fridge will keep them colder.

🌖.Leave them in the egg carton and put in the refrigerator. Not only will it protect their shells, but it’ll also keep them from taking on strong odors and flavors of other foods like fish.

🌖  As a rule of thumb, use raw eggs within 3 weeks.
