My favorite recipes #2: Soups

This is such a simple but great idea, just add a poached egg into your tomato soup and it's instantly so much tastier.

Roasted cauliflower and truffle soup (minus the bacon).

I found this recipe when me and Peter lived in Brixton and our kitchen didn't have an oven, meaning no lasagna. Instead we made lasagna soup!

Soup with kale and sausages, just switch to a veggie sausages or maybe mushrooms if you're like me.

Coconut and bok choi soup.

My favorite recipes #1: Pasta

Ok, first of all, the title of the post is a lie. I never, ever follow recipes, I just look at the pictures, read the name of the dish and cook my own version of it. But here follows five of my favorite Pinterest inspiration pictures that I've "cooked" several times. First up is this cacio pepe with parsnips.

Then we have gnocchi with mushroom ragu. Like the perfect dish for fall.

Walnut Bolognese! This is SO good. Love to use nuts in veggie food.

Parmesan and spinach orzo. This is not so much for the sauce but for the variety of pasta; orzo. Use it for stuffing in oven baked veggies or to make a fast food pasta version of risotto.

Last up is butternut squash lasagna which you have to try if you haven't already. Yum.

My first chia pudding

A couple of days ago I decided to make chia pudding.

I used 4 dl almond milk, 5 tbsp of chia seeds, 4 tsp of grated coconut and 1 pinch of vanilla powder. 

Then I let it soak in the fridge overnight.

The morning after I ate it with berries and an avocado toast. Unfortunately the pudding was slightly too runny and loose. Maybe I should've used soy milk or maybe I didn't blend it well enough? The taste was nice though so I'll try again again sometime. 

Organics

We recently signed up for a subscription on organic veggies from Growing Communities Hackney. It means every Wednesday we get a bag of organic veggies that's in season for like £7 a week. It also means we never have to buy veggies in stores like Tesco or Sainsburys anymore except for maybe an occasional avocado... Though I think we'll have to upgrade from a 'small bag' to a 'standard' after our vacation.
