October...moving on


I am sitting here surrounded by boxes and somewhere in my midst is my camera, however its exact location eludes me so I cannot post a picture of the swiss chard wraps with bulgur or 'greens' soup....both delicious and nutricious. (Note that I did find the camera and post the chard pic by Hallowe'en) As for where I found (and in the case of the soup adapted) the recipes I cannot remember, so once I move I intend to find both the pictures and the recipes, especially because I will make them both again! I had fun with the swiss chard wraps, enjoying a glass of wine and once again listening to the radio. These things tend to be a bit fiddly and make a mountain of dishes, so that glass of wine is important lol! The spices in the wrap included some nutmeg as well as cumin I think which makes a nice contrast. The soup was simple and different. It called for spinach greens, but I had mixed salad greens that needed eating, so that is what I used. The broth and seasonings were simple, but had an egg, flour and parmesan cheese mixture which gave it a nice texture and flavour. It was lovely with fresh bread....

I have made a couple of batches of granola and shared with friends, who agree with me that Penny's Pantry granola is absolutely the best they have ever eaten...and yes it is very healthy! Thanks again sis Barb for this recipe. It is well on the road to being my focal sales point....
