I love sitting down to a colourful plate of food at mealtimes. I find that enjoying a meal that looks vibrant and beautiful nourishes my soul as well as my body. One of my favorite ways to add colour and vibrancy is to create with edible flowers.
There have been an abundance of grey, cloudy, still days this summer. You know the type...those days when it the air is heavy with humidity, nothing is moving, and it feels like the world is stagnant...
Last night, listening to it against the roof tiles and watching it dance in the puddles beneath the street lamp...Rain. I could have stayed inside.
When you hear the word pesto, what comes to mind? Is it warm summer sun, basil and tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. I used to always think of pesto as being a basil based sauce, but then when I was living in Italy...
Spring. Growth and New Beginnings. So many new seeds sprouting, new paths created, new challenges overcome.
This morning I noticed a bag of fresh basil on the counter when I went to make my blueberry smoothie, so I popped some in and it was delish! It's so easy to get stuck pairing basil only with tomatoes, but try this and see what you think...
I love meals that are filled with vibrant colors, so when I discovered this beautiful sauce that turns bright pink from the beets, I was super excited! It's also gluten, dairy, and solanaceae free.
Watching raindrops fall outside the window, beyond the seedlings growing in their clay pots and the fire flickering in the wood stove...
I love sweet potatoes. And I love smoothies. But I'd never thought to combine the two...until now...and it's a great combo! Especially for this time of year, when we still crave a bit of warmth in our bellies.
Frosted, the ground is. white
ice crystals stand like fur on the stems of herbs and grasses, surfaces of leaves. Painting pictures in feathery waves across the car windscreen. winding, circling.
