Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes (LOW GI)
Ingredients:
2 large cooking apples, such as Jonathan or Granny Smith, peeled, if desired, and finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons cooking oil or melted butter Cooking oil (optional)
Unsweetened applesauce (optional)
Instructions:
Combine apples and lemon juice in one bowl. In another bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinammon and salt. In a third bowl beat egg lightly with milk and oil. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir. You want the batter to be lumpy so be careful not to overmix. Fold in the apples. Heat griddle or skillet. Drop batter by spoonfuls and cook pancakes as you usually would. Watch for edges to be set and start to brown, then flip. Serve topped with apple sauce or more apple slices instead of syrup.
Try swapping out the apples and using pears instead for a different flavor!

Chili Chicken Stir Fry (LOW GI)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup oyster sauce
1/3 cup sweet chili sauce
500g fresh thick rice noodles (see note)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 to 6 chicken breast fillets, trimmed, thinly sliced
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, cut into 5cm lengths
1 long red chilli, deseeded, thinly sliced lengthways
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 bunch baby bok choy, trimmed, leaves and stems separated, thinly sliced
Instructions:
Combine oyster chili sauce. Cook noodles as usual. Rinse, drain, and set aside. Heat some of the peanut oil in wok or skillet. Stir fry chicken until cooked through. Add more peanut oil to wok, along with sesame oil. Toss in garlic, asparagus, and red chile. Stir fry for 2 – 3 minutes. Add noodles, sauces and bok choy and continue to stir fry until leaves wilt. In some places rice noodles aren’t always easy to find. It depends on what kind of store you have near you. You may need to substitute those.
** You can use ramen noodles or thin pasta noodles. It won’t be quite the same, but it still tasty.
