Rice-cake pizza

A lot of people are sleeping on the versatility of rice cakes ( I was one of them once). They're the perfect base for light snacks! You can go sweet or savoury depending on you mood.

Here's my take on rice cake mini pizzas!

Ingredients ( per 4 cakes)

- 4 rice cakes

- 6 tsp mozzarella cheese

- - 1tbsp tomato paste

- 1/2 tsp oregano

- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

- 1 mushroom

- 1/4 or less of a bell pepper

Instructions:

- preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius

- thinly slice vegetables

- mix tomato paste with seasoning and add in 1/4 tsp water to make it smoother

- apply sauce to cakes

- top with veggies

- add in 1tsp and a half of cheese per cake

- leave in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melty

Total calories of pizza: 155

Per cake : 38.75

A great snack if you're craving pizza but don't want to indulge!

A sweet take is to spread some peanut-butter and plop some jam and bake for the same time. It gives it a cookie like flavour!

That would be around 55 calories per cake I believe

Enjoy !

Hamsat Pepper

This is one of my favourite recipes to make for dinner ! It's a Middle Eastern recipe that usually includes beef but I prefer to omit it to keep it quick and easy ( and vegan!)

Ingredients:

- one green bell pepper

- one small red onion

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 1 tbsp tomato paste

- 2 tsp curry powder

- 2 tsp paprika

- salt to taste

- optional choice of hot sauce

- ( normally cooked in some olive oil but I removed it to keep it super low- calorie)

Instructions:

- finely dice the onion, pepper and garlic

- on medium heat add the onion and sauté until soft

- add garlic until fragrant ( usually takes a couple of minutes)

- add the tomato paste and mix

- cook off for a couple of minutes

- add the spices ( not the salt though)

- mix in the peppers until everything is thoroughly combined

- close pan and change to low heat for 5 minutes

- add the salt and hot sauce to taste

- serve!

This can be enjoyed with pitta bread as a dip or eaten alone!
