squash and snuggles
There is a pumpkin soup recipe and a butternut squash recipe on our soup page, though lately weve been enjoying them in a creamy soup thus: peel, deseed and chop squash of choice, cover with water and bring to boil. Add in onion, lots of garlic, a chilli and salt to taste. Blend up with a [...]

Sunshine finds [...]

Pudding was made thus: grind up some raw chocolate nibs (could use cocoa though of course not raw) then blend with a large avocado and 2 ripe bananas with a squirt [...]

Made wonderful leek, potato and wild garlic soup from the recipe on Cat’s blog Related posts:book [...]
reflections and windows
