To new beginnings, be that the start of a new day, the crisp arrival of a new season, the first breath of a new life, the first footstep on an unexplored path...
To the knowledge and acceptance that life is ever moving, ever changing, taking you by the hand and leading you blindly...
And to old trusted recipes, changing and adapting to the seasons as well as to our desires and needs.

When the morning wakes you up with howls of lashing wind and rain... and upon opening the curtains the only thing you can see is a relentless expanse of rushing grey... It's a wonderful thing to know that you have no obligations and can therefore stay huddled indoors, safe from the world outside.
And what better to eat on a cozy relaxing day off (especially when it's miserable outside) than Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04684286930679448814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361590074976349313.post-66734215385888672322012-10-02T21:06:00.001+02:002012-10-02T21:09:38.473+02:00Baked Apples with Whipped Coconut Cream
I have made an exciting new discovery.
Whipped. Coconut. Cream.
Yes, that's right.
It is extremely delicious, lighter on the digestive system than normal whipped cream (at least, that's how it feels for my rather sensitive tummy) and full of healthy fats.
Bring on the healthy fats, I say!
Here is what you do:
Grab a can of coconut cream/milk and pop it in the fridge over night.

The air has a crisp edge, the leaves are crinkly and golden and there's nothing like curling up with a cup of hot chocolate in the evening, looking out at the darkening skies.
Today at the supermarket I was greeted by sight of all of autumnal fruit and vegetables... Chicory (witlof), pumpkin, beetroot, carrots, pears, apples, brussel sprouts... And all cheap as chipsEmilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04684286930679448814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361590074976349313.post-66814927762022706522012-10-01T14:18:00.002+02:002012-10-01T14:18:19.460+02:00Veggie Lasagne with Spinach-Feta PancakesAs I looked in the fridge this morning, I realised that I still have copious amounts of vegetables left from my tuesday trip to the supermarket.
My 30 euro a week budget is apparently enough to last me a week and a half at least. Which is great.
I've gotten rather used to doing shopping with B, spending 30 euros each (60 euros in total) and then having to scrape the bottom of the barrel at the Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04684286930679448814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361590074976349313.post-52330583059357101912012-09-27T15:34:00.000+02:002012-09-27T15:34:23.606+02:00Green Smoothie with Goat's YoghurtYes, I have a day off work... And I've only left the warm comfort of my bed (despite it already being 3:15 in the afternoon) in order to grab something to eat... Which I thought was worth mentioning...
My absolute favorite way to start the day is with a green smoothie.

Food blogs have become the part-time focus of my somewhat "aimless" state of being at the present time. I have spent many an hour looking at mouth watering photos of D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S food, and reading some delightfully well written (and sometimes quirky) anecdotes on food and life in general.
