It's Friday! #2

It's no secret that I love food.  I love that it can provide so much cosy, delicious pleasure as well as being an essential to our health and wellbeing.  It keeps us alive and it's utterly scrumptious.  Food really is win win for me.  I like going out to eat, soaking up the atmosphere of a restaurant, relaxing while someone else prepares my meal, enjoying a good glass of wine while dining on something I might never consider cooking for myself at home.  I like staying in, too, carefully preparing ingredients to be mixed together, cooked just how I like them, creating comforting, hearty dishes that bring a smile to my face when I tuck in.  Yum.

Having completed my fourth fast day yesterday (and feeling awesome) I decided that this week I would dedicate to food.  To things I've eaten, to things I want to make and to people that have taken food as an awesome inspiration to create something just as amazing.


I have wanted to make this rainbow cheesecake for ages - isn't it pretty?


Fast day dinner - homemade tuna burgers with green peppers, onions and mushrooms.  So yummy!

I'm a little bit obsessed with Anna Olson, she always makes the most delicious looking pastries and cakes.

Beetroot? In a cake? Don't knock it until you've tried this recipe.

Every time I watch her show I'm inspired to get cooking!  Hopefully I will be able to have a go at some of her recipes soon.


A freshly toasted teacake with butter - the perfect way to start the day!


Ten points if you can guess what this is!  I'll be posting about it next week.

Finally, what a precious necklace to commemorate one of my favourite comfort foods - a toasted cheese sandwich!  Makes my tummy grumble just looking at it.

I hope I didn't make you hungry!  If I did, I'd love to know what your favourite foods are, and even the ones you really don't like!  For the record, I can't stand peas, yuck!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned, whatever it is that you're doing.

Love, K.

    Ooo it looks like you've been eating well lately! Those tuna burgers remind me that I have a salmon burger recipe that I keep meaning to try that I should give a go this weekend maybe. Or maybe I'll keep putting it off.

    Is that picture of frozen rhubarb?? If not there's my guess, it looks a lot like the bags of frozen rhubarb hubby's mom lies flat in her freezer. Love me some rhubarb.

    I like peas, so long as they are fresh and not cooked, not a fan of cooked peas, they're so wrinkly and mushy. Fresh peas from the garden remind me of my great grandparents garden and how we'd walk through it and pick the pods and eat more than we should after we helped great grandpa water it.

    Favourite food has to be cheese. Definitely cheese. All of it.

    Have a great weekend!

      Thanks J! I've been trying hard to put better food into my body, though I'm a sucker for a cookie or a slice of pizza ^_^

      It's not frozen rhubarb but that's a great guess! All will be revealed next week ^_^

      I wish peas had such a happy memory for me. I've shelled a lot of peas and I do prefer them raw, though I'd rather not eat them at all. I love a lot of different veggies though, I think my favourite would have to be broccoli.

      My favourite food is cheese too ^_^
