Hello Dear a Reader,
Don’t you just love a three day weekend. Today I have done the sum total of diddly squat!!! I’ve caught up on laundry and pottered around the kitchen, leisurely cooking for the day and chatting with DB in the dining room with radio 4 in the back ground. Caught up on Dead Ringers and Weekend Women’s hour whilst ironing and putting laundry away.
Supper was cottage pie made with swede instead of potato and no butter, which is a killer as I love it so much I could roll in it! Piles of steamed veggies and I have tummy busting lower calorie supper.
Lunch was interesting. I cooked 100g of quinoa that we ate between us with cucumber, tomatoes, little gem lettuce, two rashers of bacon each….oh and some beetroot! Instantly turned the quinoa pink. I squirted some lemon juice over the top and a sprinkle of black pepper. I managed to find organic fair trade quinoa which makes a welcome change from rice and potatoes as I can’t eat cous cous.
Tonight, we’re in front of the wood stove with a mug of herby tea and enjoying the spare day.
We rarely do nothing. I can recommend it!
Over to you, do you do quinoa and if so, what do you do with it?
Until tomorrow,
Love Froogs xxx
