La vie est belle

The only picture of my mushroom soup that I made tonight. Doesn’t look attractive but it was delish!

Ingredients:

• 5oog mushrooms, cleaned and sliced. I used 400g button and 100g shitake mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
• 1 cup light cream (you could use milk + flour instead)
• Some mozzarella cheese

Method

1. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and vegetable broth and simmer for 10 minutes
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Remove from the heat and puree with a hand blender.
6. Mix in the cream.
7. Serve garnish with mozzarella cheese

I like Clarins moisturising cream. Thanks sis  :)

My homemade granola bars

I processed some of my homemade granola bars into coarse ground granola. Use  this as topping over your morning breakfast cereal!

Such as this: milk + corn flakes + toasted pecan nuts + dried fruits + coarse ground homemade granola

Sunday dinner at a 24hr coffee shop

Drunken prawns – I love the soup!

My grocery shopping for the week. So little! I was in a hurry. I bought chayote (chou chou), sweet potatoes, mushrooms, yoghurt, aubergine and milk.

Spicy baked bean corn and tuna patties. I’m a huge fan of spicy food.

I will post the recipe another day. Well, baked beans and tuna wasn’t the best combi.

Experimenting with silken tofu and jelly crystals

It was a flop! Went straight to the trash. I will stick to my chocolate tofu pudding!
