Healthy Vegan - 5mile Friday

It's been a week of big smiles and warmth in my heart, so I that is what I am going to share this Friday.

 To start off, I returned to work after a long weekend away only to receive a phone call from one of my clients who rang to simply say Thank you.  I know you many go, big deal, people say Thank you to me all the time, but the nature of work I do, I rarely get any thanks as people just want to move on, so I was totally overwhelmed by this graceful elderly lady making an effort to tell me  of the difference my involvement has made to her mental and physical well being.  She has even invited me back to her home for a cuppa and cake int he future.  I assured her, I would take her up on her kind offer when I was in her direction. 

 A long-term blogger friend of mine Choclette who has been blogging as long as I have, won her first long-overdue blogging award for Love Made My Home.  and Friday's Fave Five with Susanne.

Healthy Vegan - Creamy Carrot and Sweet Potato Rice Pudding with Blood Oranges

Some of you may remember last month I made a Beetroot Rose Rice Pudding , my husband loudly asserted  You can make that again !  Well I have been looking for a reason to make  a variation of it again and it came with the   Wendy at A Day In The Life on a Farm . The movie chosen this month is  The Martian .   I had not watched it, so we picked it up when we were in Bath, Somerset for the day.  I watched it that evening.   The Martian is about an astronaut  Mark Watney (played by Matt Damon) a Botanist who is accidentally presumed to be dead and is left by his crew on Mars.  When he wakes up, he realises he is all alone and has to survive.  He embarks on a journey, a journey of survival where he attempts to grow potato crops on a land where nothing grows, biding time for his colleagues to come and rescue him.   Here is a trailer to the movie if you have not watched it.   The most obvious food reference was of cour...

Healthy Vegan - Roasted Zucchini - Courgette. Cherry Tomatoes and Popped Black Bean Salad

Image
I mentioned in a previous blog post that  I don't quite get the fuss around popped beans,  and now having made some at home, I am still bemused.   Also I was a little unsure how to use them having now made them, as they are not like traditional popcorn made with corn, but   waste not want not - I decided to scatter them over some Savoury Courgette Muffins and this R oasted Zucchini and Cherry Tomato Salad.   The Popped Black Beans were elevated further by the generous dusting of  some  Outback Spirit Tasmanian Pepper Salt   that Johanna sent to me last month.  I love it, so flavourful and zesty.  I can happily dip my finger in the bag and suck, but I am a grown up woman and won't do that, well that is what I am telling you.     I am looking forward to using the  Outback Spirit Tasmanian Pepper Salt  much more, even scattered over some traditional popcorn.    Thank you so much Johanna. We enjoy...
