Chicken, Corn and Salsa Soup
Nothing's better on a cold day than a hearty warm soup. It takes less an hour to prepare and you have a soup that's 'hot' in both temp and flavor. It's my favorite. You can make it as hot or as tame as you'd like; all depends on whether you choose a mild, medium or hot salsa to use in the recipe. For different flavor combinations, you can also swap out the type of cheese and tortilla chips you use.
Ingredients
1 ½ Cup of Water
1 14-Ounce Can of Chicken Broth
1 11-Ounce can of corn
1 Medium Size Jar of Salsa
2 Teaspoons of Chili Powder
2 Ounces of Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
1 Bag of Tortilla Chips

Marboulius Golden Crust; self rising multigrain gluten free, yeast free, dairy free bread
every couple of days I bake a fresh loaf, after an operation course of drip antibiotics i found digestive system no longer worked. Weeks and months of trying this and that, i then took goat colostrum capsules, mangosteen and couple other capsules.
And read a lot online including carefully about gut leak, then worked out what foods upset my tummy. Tried one item at a time, spent heaps of money of different flours, yeast and nuts learning what i could eat and what i couldn't.
My daily diet is still mutton stew that contains lots fresh vegetables, rendered bone powder, chia seeds and teaspoon red palm flower oil (mutton and red palm flower oil is lying gut) -(essential). Fish and Chips every day then a bit of variation like steamed silver-beet meat and potato. Of course three four slices of my Marboulius Golden Crust

Icecream cake
I love icecream, but I'm horrible when it comes to baking. I found the recipe online a few months ago, yesterday I decided to try it for the first time, thought it would be an exciting "experiment", as it's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Ingredients
190 g flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 dl chopped chocolate of your choice
Directions
2. When the icecream has melted, preheat the oven at 175 degrees.
3. Add the flour and baking powder to the melted icecream, mix thoroughly.
4. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
5. If you do not have a teflon baking pan, it may be good to line the pan with baking paper before placing the dough in it, or use a baking dish.
6. Place the dough in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Prick/test with a skewer or wooden stick to make sure it is not sticky inside.
7. Allow to cool before cutting it.
Notes
Don't make the same mistake as I did and put it in the fridge afterwards without covering it or putting it in a plastic box as this "dries" it out. I used smarties instead of chopped chocolate, they sunk to the bottom of the cake, and the colours all disappeared. All in all it was a good experiment, will definately be making it again, especially if I can find diabetic icecream in the stores again.
