An Afternoon in the kitchen and more

I spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen cooking and baking today

I shopped for veggies in the morning ( I have quite a few in the garden )

but not all ready yet.

Please remember that if you buy veggies that are not organic,

wash them in cold water, then soak for 10mins in water which you have added

a good splash of vinegar,then rinse again

This gets rid of all the chemicals and toxins that you really don't want to be eating.

First I roasted quite a few

Then I made   zucchini slice (recipe follows)

zucchini slice

1/2 an onion,chopped finely

1/4 cup oil

4 sml zucchini,I used 2 large (grated) I do everything in the food processor)

2 medium carrots (grated)

3 silver beet leaves (chopped)

3 sprigs parsley ( chopped)

11/2 cups grated cheese

4 eggs beaten

11/2 cups SR flour (I used wholemeal)

Salt and pepper ( I use freshly ground sea salt)

Grease a lasagna dish or similar

heat oven to 180 c

mix everything (except flour) together

 Then fold in flour

Bake in the oven until firm and golden 

We love our veggies and eat a salad for lunch every day,

and quite often with dinner too.

we mix fruit in with the salad, This is a mixed lettuce

base with tomato,melon, pear,capsicum and cucumber

For protein I add feta or tuna. This has feta cheese

Coleslaw and freshly cooked beetroot

I use cabbage carrot,apple, onion and celery in the coleslaw

I squeeze the juice of a small lemon over the top and mix in

It keeps in the fridge covered with cling wrap for a week

I don't put the mayonnaise on until ready to use.

Choc chip shortbread. ( I use chopped up melts)

and wholemeal flour 

Freshly baked bread

and butter rolls

I think the freezer and fridge is well stocked for the week

What I did yesterday

I found this image on a blog,and I'm sorry, I can't remember which one

If it's yours, please let me know and I will give you credit for it

I found the lovely frame at Ikea for $9.95

and printed off the image and put it in the frame.

I had quite a few nice shells

and was not sure what to do with them.

Then I was visiting one of my blogger friends

She had them set on a silver tray with tea candles

All glittered up.

I'm sorry again but I can't remember which blog it was again

I sprayed them white and then sprayed with glue

then sprinkled with silver glitter.

Set on a silver tray they look really nice.

Well that's all for now

See you at the linky parties

the links are on my side bar.
