Let's Begin!
So, here we are - Mid January of a New Year! 2016.
This is my first post of the year. Where do I start? There is so much to say. Should I just take the plunge? It has to be better than procrastination, right?! Yes, I think I will just get right in.
{Deep Breaths} 1...2....3... Ok, I am ready! Are you? OK! Here we go!
Sweet Potato and Kale Latkes
In the last year, I think I have learnt more about judaism and jewish-ness than in the last ten years! Last year around this time, I made my first ever visit to the contentious region of the Middle East. Starting from Israel, I then traveled to Turkey with the ability to compare the cultures across three distinct yet related religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
I just wanted to tell you what I was thinking when I made these Sweet Potato and Kale Latkes over the Hannukah period. Ironically, the coincidence was unconscious. Now, I see how my seemingly irrational mind rationally drove my actions. :)
Mondays to Sundays - Coconut Almond and Oat Waffles
Sundays have a symbolism. Probably different for different people but typically run along the lines of leisure, fun, family, connection, laid back, indulgent, happy.... you get the gist.
These waffles basically encapsulate all of those lovely feelings! So, you can essentially, insert a few minutes of Sunday into any day of your life!
Even better, they are completely gluten free and even the nittiest gluten lover will find little to be picky about it! Crisp on the outside and chewy in the center, they are lovely as Fall sets in...
Happy Sunday! :)
Peach and Mint Einkorn Scones for a Biscuit Benedict
I am obsessed with peaches this Summer! I am hoarding them every week from my farmers' market. I think they are particularly delicious this year! Both the white and yellow varieties. I think I am going to call it... 2015 is the year of Peaches! WOOT
Expectedly, I am overdosing on them as it, in smoothies, cakes, shortbreads, tarts, preserves, oh just sliced and one of my absolute favorites, scones!!!!
Chia Breakfasts with Summer Fruits
There is much to say about slow breakfasts, the kind where you take the time to construct a composed morning bite that is brimming with the inspiration of the season. There is even more to be said for ones that can be made in parts ahead of time and assembled at whim to recreate the feeling of slow inspired living.
Today's breakfast ideas are of the latter. Components made as you will and then layered the morning of for a spectacular indulgence in self! :)
