part the dough into 2-3 pieces and wrap in transparent foil, let it set in the fridge for at least 30 mins
cook the spinach and mix all ingredients very well
roll out the dough, we need it quite thin so if you have a pasta machine use it :)
place the filling on one half, fold over the other half and close the cuts with a rolling pin(if you dont have one use egg whites as glue)

chicken cream-curry
I see more and more people buying the uncle bens ready-made sauce which doesnt make any sense given that it is
- inferior(in so many ways)
- expensive
- doesnt save much time(home-made curry is very easy and quick)
150g white rice
300g chicken
1 small Onion
200ml white wine
200ml chicken broth
200ml cream
3tbsp curry
veggies of your own choice(I used peas)
oil
cook white rice
cut chicken into small pieces and sear it on high temperature in some oil but only for a very short timeframe(we just want that i gets some colour)
get it out and put away when it looks like that
cut onions, add some more oil to your pan and sweat the onions until transparent
add the curry powder and instantly deglaze it with the white wine
boil down until almost no liquid left and deglaze with the chicken broth
add salt, pepper and veggies here
again boil down until almost no liquid left and add the cream
lower temperature and add chicken
cook on low temperature until you reach desired consistency

150g flour
1tsp baking powder

100g sugar
artifical sweetener(i used a liquid one and some stevia)
3 eggs
2 scoops choco protein powder

mix flour with baking powder and salt
mix eggs, sugar, artifical sweetener and the protein powder in a bowl with a stirrer and add the warm chocolate mass -> stir
add the flour slowly while stirring(to avoid clumping)
carve up the remaining snickers bar add mix into the mass
preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius(350 fahrenheit)
butter your baking form, put the mass into it and bake for 20 - 25 mins
low-carb feta scramble

3 egg whites
50g feta

mix whole egg and egg whites
sear the ground(if you do more than 200g part the meat and sear it twice, too much water otherwise and we wont be able to sear it properly)
when it is almost done add spices then add the feta and let it melt
add eggs
may not look like it but tastes really good
