Breakfast: Fruity smoothie like yesterday - really need to get me some greens.
Lunch: Apple cabbage and walnut salad. This was really nice. Shredded red cabbage, roughly chopped walnuts, chopped apple. The dressing was olive oil and cider vinegar. I've only recently got hold of cider vinegar and it makes the loveliest dressings.

Food Diary
My poor blog has been very neglected. I've decided to use it as a food diary for a while so I can share my magnificent foodie creations with you - even when they are spectaclularly shite! (We all have our off days ;-) I'll avoid boring detail.
So, beautiful friends this weekend called for large scale huge vat of veggie soup:
6 carrots
5 leeks
2 courgettes
4 peeled pots
head of very old and knackered brocoli
sprinkle of cumin seeds
Sweat the leeks and add carrots and potatoes and cumin seeds. Let them sautee for 10 mins or so to give a head start. Add everything else and cover with boiling water. I added 2 teaspoons of stock powder.
When cooked, I blended 3/4 of it and with my masher, crushed the remaining veg in the pan before adding the blended stuff back. Makes a gorgeous consistency. You can then add some more stock to taste if you think it needs it. Served with Olive bread.
Smoothie on sat was:
Frozen mango + handful of spinach + banana + cup or so water
Chilli for supper:
Onion, 2 sliced bell peppers, 1 minced red chilli large: Fry over high ish heat
Add Chestnut mushies and brocoli and tin toms and 1 tsp cumin powder. Cook down and put in tortillas with yoghurt, Guacamole, lettuce and cheese if u like.
This was delish.
Then today smoothie was frozen summer fruits and banana - bloody lush.
Lunch was shredded red cabbage, radish, lettuce, carrot with lemon and olive oil dressing with a herb omelette on the side ;-)
Tonight was mashed spuds, broc, carrots and fish. I had a bottle of beer left over from the weekend and now my tummy is a the size of a large watermelon and is feeling very sad.
Otherwise good tho!
