Relaxing time


Hi! Welcome to the best webpage to visit for having a relaxing time. I think you are a teenager right now if are not go out right now. Wait wait it was a joke lol.

Everyone has problems not only the teenagers or the adults because that is life, you imagine that nobody has problems. How boring, right? Sometimes having problems is incredible because when you solve them you feel so satisfied and calm, well I don’t know about you but  I love that feeling. If life had no problems, we would get everything very easily and we would not care if we had achieved it, since in one way or another we would have it, but if you fight and work hard for what you want and in the end you achieve it is incredible, you do not believe it?

So now that I explain why life is AWESOME, go and visit the different sections we created for you, there are some tips you can follow to have a better life and help the planet be a better place.

We hope you really enjoy it!

Take care the environment!

What’s up! The other day I start thinking about our planet and I realized that it could hardly get any worse, we are the next generations and we are the ones who can change our future and that of the planet and that everything starts when we set that goal to improve life in the planet because we are not the only living things here but we are the only ones that are damaging it, do you think that’s fair?  That the animals and the environment are the only ones that are suffering and that we are enjoying what we have? There is going to be a moment, even if you’re dead, when humans will suffer the consequences. 

I think we can start doing things to take care of the environment, or what is your opinion? 

And you can think “but if I start doing changes in my life, I am not going to change all the planet” and I’m going to tell you “but if everyone starts making good actions we can make a change, right?

You wouldn’t like to be one of the many people who could change the world, I would love it.

Hey, but do you know which are the actions we can take to change the planet for a better one, because if we don’t know how to do this who is going to do it? I´m gonna help you with that so read it but wait don’t only read it also do it.

~Use reusable bags.
~Turn off the lights.
~Save water.
~Plant trees.
~Save electricity.
~Recycled paper.
~Recycle garbage.
~Do not use a car, walk or go riding a bike.

These are few of a lot of actions you can start or continue doing to save the world.

Let’s take care of our environment!

400g fresh pineapple , roughly chopped into chunks (about 1⁄2 medium pineapple)

2 tbsp chunky peanut butter (without palm oil or sugar)

1 garlic clove, finely grated

1 tsp Madras curry powder

few shakes soy sauce

2 tsp lime juice

2 skinless, chicken breast fillets (about 300g) cut into thick strips

about 10cm cucumber, cut into fingers

sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Method

STEP 1

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4 and line a baking tray with non-stick paper.

STEP 2

Mix 2 tbsp chunky peanut butter with 1 finely grated garlic clove, 1 tsp Madras curry powder, a few shakes of soy sauce and 2 tsp lime juice in a bowl. Some nut butters are thicker than others, so if necessary, add a dash of boiling water to get a coating consistency.

STEP 3

Add 2 skinless chicken breast fillets, cut into strips, and mix well. Arrange on the baking sheet, spaced apart, and bake in the oven for 8-10 mins until cooked, but still juicy.

STEP 4

Eat warm with roughly 10cm cucumber, cut into fingers, and sweet chilli sauce. Alternatively, leave to cool and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Steak & broccoli protein pots

Ingredients

250g pack wholegrain rice mix with seaweed (Merchant Gourmet)

2 tbsp chopped sushi ginger

4 spring onions , the green part finely chopped, the white halved lengthways and cut into lengths

160g broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces

225g lean fat-trimmed fillet steak

Method

STEP 1

Tip the rice mix into a bowl and stir in the ginger, chopped onion greens and 4 tbsp water. Add the broccoli and the spring onion whites, but keep the onions together, on top, as you will need them in the next step. Cover with cling film, pierce with the tip of a knife and microwave for 5 mins.

STEP 2

Meanwhile heat a non-stick frying pan and sear the steak for 2 mins each side, then set aside. Take the onion whites from the bowl and add to the pan so they char a little in the meat juices while the steak rests.

STEP 3

Tip the rice mixture into 2 large packed lunch pots. Slice the steak, pile the charred onions on top and seal until you’re ready to eat (see tip below).

2 tomatoes , cut into wedges

sprinkling of dried chilli flakes and roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley, optional

Method

STEP 1

Bring a pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs and boil for 8 mins. Drain and run under the cold tap to cool them a little, then peel and halve. Meanwhile, mix 1 tbsp lemon juice and 3 tbsp water with the tahini to make a dressing.

STEP 2

Heat the oil and fry the onion and garlic for 5 mins to soften them. Add the ground cumin and seeds, stir briefly then add the beans and lightly crush some of them as you heat them, adding some of the juice from the can to get a nice creamy consistency but keeping whole beans, too. Taste and add lemon juice and just a little seasoning if you need to.

STEP 3

Spoon the beans on to plates with the lettuce, then add the eggs and tomatoes, with the tahini dressing, chilli and parsley, if using.

Omelette pancakes with tomato & pepper sauce

Ingredients

4 large eggs

handful basil leaves

For the sauce

2 tsp rapeseed oil , plus a little extra for the pancakes

1 yellow pepper , quartered, deseeded and thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves , thinly sliced

1 tbsp cider vinegar

400g can chopped tomatoes

wholemeal bread or salad leaves, to serve

Method

STEP 1

First make the sauce. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and fry the pepper and garlic for 5 mins to soften them. Spoon in the cider vinegar and allow to sizzle away. Tip in the tomatoes, then measure in a third of a can of water. Cover and leave to simmer for 10-15 mins until the peppers are tender and the sauce is thick.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, make the pancakes. Beat 1 egg with 1 tsp water and seasoning, then heat a small non-stick frying pan with a tiny amount of oil. Add the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 mins until set into a thin pancake. Lift onto a plate, cover with foil and repeat with the other eggs. Roll up onto warm plates, spoon over the sauce and scatter with the basil. Serve with bread or a salad on the side.

Healthy pancakes

Ingredients

50g self-raising flour

50g wholemeal or wholegrain flour

2 small eggs, separated

150ml skimmed milk

berries and low-fat yogurt or fromage frais to serve

Method

STEP 1

Sift the flours into a bowl or wide jug and tip any bits in the sieve back into the bowl. Add the egg yolks and a splash of milk then stir to a thick paste. Add the remaining milk a little at a time so you don’t make lumps in the batter.

STEP 2

Whisk the egg whites until they stand up in stiff peaks, then fold them carefully into the batter – try not to squash out all the air.

STEP 3

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and pour in enough batter to make a pancake about 10 cm across. Cook for just under a minute until bubbles begin to pop on the surface and the edges are looking a little dry. Carefully turn the pancake over. If it is a bit wet on top, it may squirt out a little batter as you do so. In that case, leave it on the other side a little longer. Keep warm while you make the remaining pancakes. Serve with your favourite healthy toppings.

Drain the beans and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the onions, carrots and celery.

STEP 2

Stir in the olive oil, garlic, stock, tomatoes, half a can of water and the miso. Tie the herbs together with kitchen string and add these as well. Season. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, until the beans are cooked through and all of the veg is really tender.
