Hello there! I haven't posted for a while! Oh well! I'm on finals, and I've been very busy. But today I decided not to do anything, but bake brownies.
I found this recipe in a Canela Kitchen's post, and she said it's only 110 calories, but I believe that it depends on the ingredients that you use. So yeah, here is the recipe.

Servings: 15
Dry ingredients:
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup of raw sugar
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of salt

Wet ingredients:

1 egg
2 egg whites
1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used nonfat)
1 tbsp of vanilla extract

Instructions:
Mix all the dry ingredients, and later the wet ingredients. Later mix them all. Use a a pyrex (20 cm x 30 cm), and moist it with a healthy oil (I used a sunflower with corn oil) by using the help of a paper towel.
And start to bake. I put the oven in 175° C for 25 minutes, but it wasn't ready, so I rised the temperature and I waited 15 minutes more.

So I just realized that I forgot to put a wet ingredient to this recipe, and it was to add 1/4 cup of corn oil... but at the end, my brownie was really delicious.

Here is the nutritional value:

This is approximately what 1 serving of my brownies have. Remember that it depends of the ingredients that you use! It can has more or less calories. And for me this recipe is healthy, because it has less fat (you have to check out if the yogurt has fat) and more protein than any other brownie.

And I realized again, that I forgot to add the nutrional value of the vanilla extract!!! Haha.. I'm really clueless today. But it would add like 2 or less than 2 calories xD

So yeah! If you're going to make this brownie, enjoy!!

How to make pelmeni

Pelmeni is one of my favorite meals. Specially that my grandmother used to make (let her rest in peace). Long time ago I wanted to make them, so I told my mom if we can make them one day. So here is a tutorial. I hope you learn something new today.

Recipe:

For the dough

1-2 eggs

2 and a half glasses of warm water

1 tea spoon

For the meat:

1 kg of ground meat (500 gr of cow meat and 500 gr of pork meat)

3-4 onions

Salt and black pepper to taste

A video tutorial (make sure to keep reading)

Instructions:

Put the wheat flour on the table, and make it look like a volcano. Then add egg and salt and water. Start kneading the dough. Once you have the dough ready. Put it on a deep dish and cover it with a plastic paper to refrigerate for half an hour.

Start to grate the onions and apply the meat and mix it with the grated onions. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Take out the dough, and take a piece in order to make a long stick. Cut it in pieces to make little balls. Press them with a roll. Apply the meat on the press round dough and fold it, then unite the corners.

Once you make one, put it on a cutting board to cover with a little bit of wheat flour.

When the cutting board is full of Pelmeni, freeze it, when it’s frozen, put the Pelmenies on a plastic bag in order to restore them.

For preparation:

Boil water, add salt and then put the Pelmeni. Reduce heat and periodically stir and wait for 7 minutes.

Remove water and add butter.

Serve to taste with sour cream or mayonnaise. Also with a little bit of vinegar with black pepper.

Also you can drink vodka while you eat this delicious meal. ^^
