While being at my parents place the others had strawberry cake with ingredients that I don't eat (egg, gelatine etc). So I helped myself and had a delicious plate of treats from my parents garden (OK, bananas don't grow in my parents garden). A thousand times healthier than a strawberry cake and more yummie of course. Look how beautyful!
As the weather has been splendit and I promised my daughter to have a trip to the forest, we packed our things on sunday and went to the nearby small forest. It is just a small one, but we had a great time.
We collected wild edibles. My daughter loves sorrel (Sauerklee, Oxalis) best. I think with those beautyful flowers it looks like a faerie plant.
We also met a frog
And there was Gundermann (Glechoma hederacea)
And another little frog which did not turn into a prince by kissing *shudder*
Beautyful Stitchwort (Große Sternmiere, Stellaria holostea)
Anemones (Buschwindröschen, Anemone nemosrosa), beautyful but not eatable! They somehow remind me of my childhood. I don't know why.
Pilewort (Scharbockskraut, Ranunculus ficaria) poisonous, too.
We had a lovely picknick...
..and a happy child :-)
I cought a huge cold. To get id of it, I decided to take a raw food day and only eating light things. I can feel the detox. This is what I had for dinner:
The recipe I roughly followed can be found here. Instead of the zucchini I used kohlrabi to get spaghetti. It was yummie, especially the nut crust.
My belly is still growing. I am in week 28 now. So far I can't complain about problems or health issues. I still feel very alive. I wish there would be more sun around here. There's also something that I realized: I started eating lots and lots of stuff. Together with my daughter teething/growing we have a much huger grocery bill (we eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables). But as long as it's healthy, I really enjoy every bit of it. In one week we ate 3 kg bananas and two kg apples (and still had to buy more), at least 10 avocados and lots of other yummie food.
Out of yarn leftover I made these:
Looking at this makes me want to be there again. It was so delicious every day. And the chapatis have been a special treat.
Breakfast
Lunch
Kohlrabi mit Sweetcorn
2 Kohlrabi
2 Maiskolben (Sweetcorn)
1 Avocado
2 EL Olivenöl
1 TL Nährhefe
NB Vollsalz
NB etwas edelsüsse PaprikaDie Kohlrabi schälen und mit der Legumette zu Spaghetti schneiden. Die Maiskörner vom Kolben schneiden und dazu geben. Das Öl und die Gewürze dazu dann gut mischen. Nett verzieren und servieren.
Es kann natürlich auch ein anderes Öl verwendet werden. Aber kalt gepresst sollte es schon sein. Übrigens das Öl kann auch weggelassen und mit etwas Wasser ersetzt werden, schmeckt trotzdem gut. Die Avocado hat nämlich auch schon Fett. Fette und Öle sind die besten Geschmacksträger.
Das Rezept ist von hier.
Just like last Thursday, we went strawberry picking today. It is a huge field with organic strawberries, all red and yummie. Yesterday we had a great rainstorm. So almost none of the huge strawberries have been eatable today. But we still found more than enough before the season ends. I think it was the last picking day. We had so much fun. First with the strawberries, later exploring the organic farm & farm shop.
I think it must have been about 5 kilos we picked. Guess what will be our breakfast tomorrow?
I froze part of them. And made strawberry icecream for my daughter. Yummie!
I got myself a new cup. I just couldn't resist. Isn't it lovely?
This is one of my favourite brands in natural shops. I think they have a most beautyful design and concept. There's so much to explore on their website. Real eyecandy.
