I was all about food this month, hey. I tried out new things and learned new ways to make meals without using crumbs and staying away from overprocessed products. Naturally, this meant I ate a lot of veggies. Below, I share with you three new products I discovered this month.

Enjoy,

Gluten-Free Spaghetti

Generally, gluten-free products are expensive, but I discovered the Simply Truth brand at Checkers. A 500g packet of spaghetti is 22.00. Yes, you heard me right. The gluten-free pasta from Woolies is almost N$100 for 250g. I am also very cognizant of the gluten-free products’ contents. I check for the ingredients and make sure I recognise all the ingredients. The less the better. They also say that if you don’t have these items in your kitchen individually, then the product is ultra-processed. So, this spaghetti is only made from corn and water. What a winner, hey.

Squash

I have been obsessed with squash for some time now. And like a true colour, I add sweet corn and cheese. Yum yum yum.
I first steam them until they are soft but still firm, then transfer them to a large enough oven dish, put a tiny bit of butter on it, and sprinkle a little sugar on it, as in a tiny, tiny bit. Then I fill them up with sweetcorn and put cheese on top.
They go into the oven only until the cheese is melted.

Sourdough pizza

My friend generously gave me three sourdough pizza bases, complete with tomato sauce and pre-baked. I used them on Friday nights for our family pizza night. For my pizza, I topped it with mushrooms, onions, garlic, feta, and lactose-free cheese. After baking it in the oven, I added some rocket on top. It turned out just as delicious, if not better than the pizzas you’d get from a restaurant!
