Spanish omelette

It's pouring rain outside and this seems like the perfect comfort food. I picked up these water and salt olives at the local farmers. I added these hot peppers for some spice and ended up crying for most of my meal!

Chocolate and lace

Some mornings I crave the strangest things. Take for instance, goats cheese apple flat breads topped with dark chocolate on a bed of spinach. Paired with my Holy Mate tea. Trust me it was delightful! I usually avoid all grains so I have to get creative in the kitchen. I make these pancake/flat breads out of coconut flour. I use them for sandwich, pancakes, pizza dough substitutes. They are tiny and perfect for one. You can make them sweet or more salty bread like depending on the oils and milk you use. Coconut oil and coconut milk lean towards a sweeter result. Olive oil and hemp milk are more salty bread like. My favorite is a Spring olive oil by Sciabica. It has a buttery aftertaste that mixes well with the coconut flour. This is my current favorite 85% dark chocolate by Alter Eco. It's very low in sugar and has no emulsifiers.








Grain free Coconut flat-breads

1 TBSP freshly ground flax seeds + 3 TBSP water
1 TBSP Coconut flour
1 TBSP Coconut milk 
1 TBSP Sciabica Spring Olive oil
Sprinkle of Pink salt

Mix together and cook on a oiled cast iron hot plate like a pancake

Weird Fishes


Woke up to some delicious roasted Japanese sweet potatoes. Our friend has a farm so I acquire so many goodies. My immediate thought was sweet potato mash with salmon! I can eat salmon for breakfast lunch and dinner. It's my favorite food. It instantly makes me happy and ready for the day. I don't like taking too long with breakfast so multitasking is essential. I cooked all except the fish/tea on a cast iron hot plate. Breakfast was done in under 10 min :)

Black sesame Salmon, Steamed collard greens, raw spinach/red sweet pepper, Sweet potato Mash, Soy Matcha latte


Japanese Sweet potato Mash
1/2 -Japanese Sweet potato ( already baked)
Dash - Unsweetened Eden soy milk
Pat - Goats butter
Drizzle - Sage honey
Sprinke- Pink salt/Black pepper
 
Place a ramekin in the middle of a warm cast iron hot plate.
Slightly mash the sweet potato and add all the ingredients on top. Voila!


Collard Greens
I toasted some garlic with olive oil spray and tossed the greens for about 30 sec. Serve under the fish. 

 
Match Latte 
Boil 3/4 cup water with 1/4 cup of Soy milk
Stir into a bowl containing 1/4 tsp of  matcha, whisk until frothy, enjoy!



This breakfast was so filling I saved half for dinner! Thinking about a raw veggie smoothie for lunch....

Oh Green World

I have all these wonderful vintage place mats that I acquired from my friends late aunt. I thought it would be fun to document some of my creations. I love to cook and make most everything from scratch. Hope you like!

 

This is my Happy morning green porridge. I have so many variations of this concoction but this is the most filling and energizing. Especially after a good workout. All ingredients are organic and mostly local.

1 TBSP Flax Seed oil
1 TSP Spirulina
3/4 Cup water 
Hand full of: Dark kale, Curly kale and Spinach

Blend all, garnish and enjoy!
