Quick and Easy Bean Salad

This was wonderful as it was, though I can imagine all kinds of goodies coming from this concoction.

Quite simply, I stirred together, tamari and dijon mustard, with coconut oil, and tossed in spouted, then lightly boiled kidney beans, and topped with rucola.

I was hooked on this for days!

Fancy Fries & Eggs, w/ Spring Onions, & Sprouts

Carrying on from the last post, with this lovely picture, the feature this time is not leeks, nor pasta, rather a breakfast for champs.

My favourite, fancy fries, with eggs made in a cookie cutter, leeks on the side, with rocket sprouts and plenty of dill.

As with the rest, recipes, or outline of what I did to come. Thanks for your patience!

Pasta without the pasta- Leeks

For long, I've been substituting breads and pastas for veggies, coming up with not so usual combo's. Sure this has been done before, but as it's sooooooo easy, I have to share.

I picked up the pictured veggies, from a couple who comes in from Hungary and sells their produce just down the road, (literally on the sidewalk). I thought I might use everything together, but came up with this, and then the rest I used for the next post- fancy fries and eggs made in a cookie cutter, with other yummy fixings :). 

Leek 'pasta' with the usual fixings of olive oil, butter and garlic, a pinch of salt, and a few tomatoes, and fresh dill. 

A Birthday Cake of Epic Proportions: Chocolate chunk Cookie, Ice Cream Cake, with a Rich Ganache topping.

It was my husband's birthday last week, and as you know, he loves chocolate chunk cookies. Sooo, I got it in mind to make one for him, a big one, with ice cream on top, and ganache to finish it all off. 

The result? Another hit with the family :) 

For the uber health conscious, who won't take my word for it, that healthy is a state of mind, this one wasn't so bad. Besides the cookie layer, I made the banana chocolate ice cream and ganache, and it all had a huge dose of love. <3

Details to come!! :)

This is what he got on his actual birthday - a personalised
castle like cake for a man who knows his greatness-
"Kral Yurai," which translates to "King George" ;D 

We're swapping over to sweets for a few posts :) 

Without any guilt or shame, I'm here to tell you that both my husband and I, love cookies, especially my cookies, full of butter, sugar and most importantly, a whole lotta love. :) "Healthy," is a state of mind, so for me, these guys a thumbs up. 

His favourite happen to be chocolate chunk. In fact, what he requests are chocolate chunks with bits of cookie. 

I found many recipes for the best cookie ever, and played with a couple of them to come to these beauties. One more trial and I've got them down pat, and ready to offer you :). 

Chocolate chunk with bits of cookie. There's a block of chocolate in the centre of these babies, and each chunk was placed
on top by yours truly. The ultimate cookie, made with love <3

A Heap of Sprouts, Brown Rice, Alfalfa, & Masoor Lentils

In my sprouting frenzy, I did a whole lot of brown rice, which meant a lot of playing :)

This little meal was heaven in my mouth, and if you don't count the sprouting time, it took only minutes to make.

Ingredients are on Instagram, though I've got a few more things to get up before switching tracks, so again, bear with me please. Thank you!





A Heap of Sprouts- Brown Rice, Alfalfa, & Masoor, with avocado, tamari, coriander and more :)

Sprouted Brown Rice 

Sprouting - the Easiest thing ever, and so good for you on so many levels!

I love Sprouting-it's a beautiful thing to take a bunch of  seeds, legumes, or grains, water them and give them lots of love (yes, I talk to mine :D), and watch them grow! For me, it's as miraculous as our existence, hence the act of sprouting is rather a sacred thing for me.

Sacred or not, so very easy to do. All you really need is patience, as they do take time to grow, but not as much as you may think.

As usual, pics for now, details later. Head on over to Instagram to get more of a peek at all things I love. :)

Masoor lentils 

Artsy Fartsy Masoor Lentils :) 

Wheatberrries, which were just beginning to sprout, so I started the drying
process (very slowly in oven, to eventually make my own whole wheat flour.

Brown rice sprouts which I used for sooooo many things!

Sprouted Rukola/Rocket 

A close up on Rukola

Another one of my favourite pictures, (and the very first thing I sprouted): Three little bean sprouts. Yurai said he saw lots of hearts when first seeing this
picture. I saw "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon." Don't ask ;) 

From little sprouts, to full blown plants, pictured alongside
chia and alfalfa sprouts.


Speaking of alfalfa, I am slightly biased towards these goodies than anything else, just slightly though :)  

The beautiful alfalfa spouts

Sprouted Chia Seeds

A salad of onions and pease, with alfalfa sprouts and parsley
dijon mustard, yoghurt & pickles :) 

I made a lovely egg salad, and used the same them with the salad here, minus the eggs. I love to surprise my husband with weird but delicious.

Taking a Digestive Biscuit and Turning it into a Flatbread (Hold the Chocolate!! :D )

What started out as this: 

The Original Digestive (Square because I didn't yet own a cookie cutter). 

Turned into these:

Flatbread (using sprouted wheat) based on Digestive Biscuit
(Served with a Red Bean &
Caramalised Onion Spread)







                                                             

Flatbread (using sprouted wheat),
based on Digestive Biscuit
(Served with Sprouted &
Curried Masoor
Lentil Dip) 

And eventually this piece of work :D

Using the same idea as the flatbread (based on the digestive),
I created this second flatbread, made from "Jeera/Cumin Rice
with Onions & Peas. Didn't last very long!! 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Next up, Spreads and Dips (I went on a bit of a hummus spree after my healing water cleanse, 26 days without food :D ).  

Red Bean &
Caramalised Onion Spread

Thanks for showing up :**
