Yesterday, Sunday, was a busy day for us and our new home. Georgie’s name day is tomorrow so it was the perfect excuse to invite friends and family over for a feast! The little get-together was also a good excuse for me to ‘fix up’ a couple of rooms and finally frame some posters. The Ali and Inglorious Basterds posters are Mike’s productions. Thanks mate!
I want to share this new obsession of mine, an unbelievable easy recipe for healthy snacking that Georgie loves. All you do is blend a handful of goji berries and pumpkin seeds and then mix with a heaped tablespoon of heated coconut oil. Roll the mixture into little balls and place in the fridge. This is one of many super healthy recipes I have discovered in a book called Medicinal Cookery.
Monday was a bank holiday here in Cyprus so with the sun shining and a piece of land ready for planting we all headed for my sister’s backyard where seeds were sown. We live a stone’s throw away from each other so the goodies that will be coming from this little patch of land will serve us all.
This is my first In The Kitchen from my new kitchen, you guys! I have been cooking almost everyday, making very good use of my super stove and fully stocked pantry and I must admit it feels good. Organization definitely becomes me. One morning I scooped up my little dude and decided to get messy. We made some super easy chocolate chip muffins, which we also added some cranberries to. It was a much-needed timeout after everything that has been going on here in Cyprus. Our financial world has been rocked to its core bringing a massive, destructive change to our society. Words I have never heard of and terms I had to look up are now part of our future and the only explanation to what we are living. Our banking system has taken a hit and once again the working class heroes were the ones being threatened. Politicians and greed have brought us to our knees and all I wanted to do was bake a few muffins.
