No more excuses nor apologies- let's keep this food blog going. ;) I'll get better at this, and I believe the key for me is to blog immediately after I've finished playing in my studio (kitchen).
On that note, something sooooo very simple for you: A salad, of all things, and just because it's a bunch of veggies, doesn't mean I've skimped on taste, believe you me, not. If it doesn't taste good, what's the point in eating it?
I popped over to the Hungarian couple I'd been told about recently, who drive into town on Saturday mornings, selling their fresh produce. There they still were, at around 10am, when I was returning from my walk, and as it was raining, there was still plenty of stuff. I only bought fresh eggs and cabbage, as with my period immanent, I'll be cleansing over the duration of it, so only drinking water.
-Bosc pear, very thinly sliced
-Red spring onion, chopped
-*Sprouted Chia
-*Sprouted Rukola/Rocket
-Walnuts
-A small clove of garlic, chopped
-Balsamic Vinegar
-Salt and pepper to your desire
*If you don't have sprouts on hand, by all means use a combination of herbs- parsley and/or basil would go very well.

This is what I ended up having as my first meal today- Let's call it a salad with all kinds of delights OR, A simple Salad of Grilled Cabbage & Bosc Pear, with Sprouts Walnuts, & Balsamico, which includes:
-White cabbage (I used approx a quarter, of a medium sized cabbage for myself)
-Olive Oil
-Lamb's Lettuce (handful)-Bosc pear, very thinly sliced
-Red spring onion, chopped
-*Sprouted Chia
-*Sprouted Rukola/Rocket
-Walnuts
-A small clove of garlic, chopped
-Balsamic Vinegar
-Salt and pepper to your desire

| A morning treat- A Simple Salad :)
To create your work of art:
Get your oven going on the highest setting, and ready to grill.
Finely shred cabbage, and place onto an oiled, salted oven tray, and give it a toss, to incorporate the oil, and tuck it in the oven. Check back on it after 5 minutes to see if it's browning, when it is, give it another toss. Should be ready in about 10 or so minutes, so in the mean time you can get onto chopping.
Once you remove the cabbage from the oven, ensure that there's enough oil still on the tray to wet the pear pieces (both sides), and sprinkle salt over the whole lot. Keep an eye on these guys as they're thin- so just a couple of mins in the oven, please!
Basically now, you're just plating up. :)
Start with a handful of lambs lettuce, and weave in the cabbage (or just place a handful in the centre of the lettuce. Add everything else, and finish off with the balsamico.
An added hint for it to taste even better, if I may..Bless your food, give it love and as you eat it, smile, and be grateful for another meal.
Enjoy!
PS: As I'm a novice at this recipe writing, do let me know if I could improve for you. It all makes sense in my own head, though I know sometimes I'm even ahead of myself!! ;)

The very next recipe coming up is this one: The almighty Digestive cookie, however you're going to get three versions, the original, and two twists. The one pictured below has cumin and cardamum in it, & some with dark chocolate- an unusual but tasty combo. ;D
