Nourishment

 Good evening. I've had a very nice day today. Chat with Nicky at the Arts Centre. Shopping at The Range and Home Bargains. And a line of washing blowing outside in the sunshine. 

I love the food that comes out of my own kitchen. It's deeeelishus, it suits my digestive system, I don't get bloated, and with the right portion sizes it's satisfyingly filling. 

Today I chopped some vegetables with my new sharp knife. The old blunt one had to go. Carrots, Brussels Sprouts, onion, and courgettes. My pan is 8 inches across. 

Today I added sweet and sour stir fry sauce, Good Grains, and Singapore style noodles. All from Aldi. 
I make enough for two portions, one for tomorrow. The second one will be for breakfast with an egg added. 

Today I filled up my porridge mixture which I store in a plastic container with a lid. In the Kenwood I put the porridge oats, then add whatever seeds and nuts I have. In here are oats, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, pecan nuts, and walnuts. 


Give it a good whizzz. This will last me about two weeks. Sometimes I add frozen berry fruits to the bowl while cooking, or a banana. I don't eat it every day, sometimes I have a cooked breakfast. 

Mayze enjoying the sunshine. I think spring is on it's way. 

Tonight I did a pan of steamed vegetables topped with grated cheese. There is enough for tomorrow night. I'll add some pasta.  
I've just watched Daniel the BBB doing an interview with Rupert Lowe. I've put it on the Rabbit Hole if you want to have a look. Rupert talks a lot of sense. 
Now it's time to cuddle Mayze for the last hour of the day. 
Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. Sounds like a fantastic day! I just love seeing laundry hanging on the clothesline blowing in the wind. Makes my heart happy, it’s the little things. Mayze seems very content perched on her spot watching all the things going on outside. I suppose to animals it’s a lot like TV. 🐾🐾 Your meals always look so delicious. You have mentioned the sweet and sour sauce several times, next trip to the store I will be on the lookout. I love just vegetable and pasta or rice meals. Another of my favorites are beans (pinto, navy, butter etc.) with some kind of vegetable on the side. Maybe some chow chow or kraut. Mmmm I just finished dinner but this has my thinking of tomorrow’s dinner already. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Take care mother, I am always learning to think outside the box. XX

    1. I find little jobs that keep me busy. Beans, oh yes, any beans are good for the digestive system. Mix and match food is my mantra. Anything goes with anything. Cooking for a single person doesn't have to be boring.

  2. Enjoy your " sharp knife" while you are still allowed to have it, the government will soon be taking it away!!
    (We love the Aldi sweet and sour sauce too, having it on Sunday with chicken and veg. )

    1. Here is a little money saving tip. You can get the same sauces from Home Bargains. At the moment, three for £1.
