Weekdays are busy. I'm always looking for new recipes for those days. New favourites are Jamie Oliver's Sweet Potato Muffins and Hugh Fearnley-Whitingstall's Beetroot Burgers and Spinachy wraps. If you like beetroot and felafel, you will love these. I found another simple breakfast recipe for baked oats here. I made it the night before, leaving it in the fridge overnight, and then popped into the oven to bake whilst making morning coffee. Cut into squares and then served warm with butter melting on top it makes a delicious alternative to porridge or cereals. The little squares are good to eat on the go too, and would make great lunch box deserts.

- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's Spinachy Wraps. These chick pea (garbanzo bean/gram) flour wraps with a spinach filling are extremely more-ish and very easy to make. The chick pea flour adds a nutty dimension. I've also made them with left over salad leaves like watercress and rocket instead of spinach, they are just as tasty. I love them with baby gem lettuce leaves, cottage cheese and green olives.
- crunchy pears
- this turkey mince bake but with a potato and not squash mash
- stocking up on omega three. Cheap and cheerful. I love the vintage style packaging and wish I could do something withe them...some kind of Christmas decoration?
- Labeling what's left of the original sweet cherry wine to squirrel away for Christmas
- Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall's beetroot burgers. These along with the spinach wraps are my favourite new recipe, made by grating raw beetroot, carrot, onion, garlic with cooked chickpeas, spices and seasoning. Just blitzed together and combined to make tasty little burgeers, these are amazing.
- Baked oats. Love this easy recipe. It's one that you can vary depending what's in your store cupboard.
Weekend now and time for a bit of slow cooking...
Hope you have a good one,

I love trying out new recipes and the beetroot burger sounds pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been feeling super today, but hopefully tomorrow I can get in the kitchen
and play, I would love to bake the oat bars for Sunday morning.
Have a great weekend.
Oh, sorry to hear that you aren't too good. I hope the extra hours sleep helps. Our oat bars were wolfed down. I'm planning lots of new combinations now. Hope you manage to get your baking day.

I love to see the things you cook, this has to be delicious. I am a bit lazy to cook new things, but i love to eat.
DeleteBon appetit!!
Me too,I love to eat too Montse!! Sometimes it's good to stick to the things you love and know. But sometimes I like to experiment a bit too. It doesn't always work out well but it's awesome when it does!
ReplyDeleteHappy days Montse,

I wish I was more adventurous in the kitchen but I'd rather be knitting so that's what I end of doing. Once in a blue moon I'll try a new to me recipe. Love seeing your doings in your kitchen! I'm inspired!!
ReplyDeleteI love playing in the kitchen...almost as much as knitting Karen. But sometimes only knitting will do.
DeleteHope you get lots of knitting time this week.
