Here’s a delicious way to eat fruit and rolled oats! It’s not as healthy as porridge but as far as desserts go it gets a big healthy tick from me! That is so long as you don’t drown it with cream (40% fat). Try a small scoop of ice-cream (about 11% fat) or Greek yoghurt (about 8-10% fat).
- 3 Granny Smith apples, grated (leave skin on)
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 75g lite dairy spread
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- Place grated apple and berries in a shallow oven dish.
- Mix flour, spices and sugar into a bowl. Rub in dairy spread until crumbly. Add rolled oats.
- Sprinkle mixture over fruit.
Bake at 190C (380F) for 45 minutes until topping is golden brown.

Finally as promised here is the recipe for meatloaf as described in the ‘Men in the Kitchen’ post. It’s adapted from an Alison Holst recipe – with more vegetables in it!

- Handful of baby spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- Herbs to taste
Mix all ingredients together. Shape into two loaves. Place on baking paper on a baking tray. Smear top with tomato sauce. Bake at 180 for 40-45 minutes until firm.
Serve with salad. It tastes just as good the next day.

Food companies reduce salt by stealth

Want to cut the amount of salt your family shakes on their food? Stick clear tape over half the holes in the salt shaker. Who knows? It might just work. It certainly did for one study where they found that people shook the salt shaker for a certain time regardless of how much was coming out. When they taped over half the holes, the study subjects unknowingly ended up eating half the amount of salt.
This ’stealth’ method of reducing salt is exactly what many nutritionally responsible food manufacturers
