Autumn yummy recipes!

Ohhh... Autumn is such a pretty season!

Being here in the countryside in North Wales for this season has been a fantastic experience: to watch the leaves turn yellow, orange and red, then watch them leaves turn more of a brownish colour and finally, to slowly fall down. The grounds are getting covered with leaves now. The winds have been blowing strong since last weekend.

this is my in laws' beautiful autumn garden!


when the sun is out, its just fabulous!!!


I have been indulging myself with loads of fruits and vegetables of the season:

Mangtout: raw in salads and added to stir-frys.
Pumpkin and butternut squash: I have made this deliciously simple soup with mainly butternut squash and a small piece of pumpkin and added coconut milk, turmeric, onions, chillies and lime.
Potatoes, Leeks, Onions and garlic, Mushrooms, French beans, Courgettes, etc.
Potato and leek soup - an English classic!
Pears, apples, plums.


Some ideas for you to try:

. Roast parsnips, butternut squash and sweet potato with olive oil, honey and thyme.
. Cut butternut squash in small cubes, roast then add: to watercress and feta for a fab salad!
. Make a delicious earthy vegetable casserole with potatoes  carrots, parsnips, tomatoes  peppers. Add some paprika, chillies and cumin. You can also add some beans. Bean casserole - tchan tchan!

. Porridge! Yummm... be creative with your porridges:
- Add dates and almonds to it.
- Great an apple on top of your porridge add some cinnamon and chopped nuts of your choice.
- Remember to make your porridge with water. You can add any nut, seed or coconut milk to it after.
- Sprinkle cacao nibs, dried coconut flakes and some agave syrup.
- Simply add organic honey.


Indulge yourself with healthy meals.
