Good to see Lizzy
back hosting In My Kitchen
after a festive season break! So I'm also going to share a few things
from my kitchen in February.
First
of all here's a little example of my typical weekly
shopping containing vegetables,
fruit, snacks, juice, veggie sausages, cheese and other things. I'm
really glad to see that the blush and blood orange season has started
and try to hoard as many of them as I can.
Recently
I purchased these cute Bento moulds to
make wonderful animal onigiri etc. I already posted one Bento box post in January and can't
wait to make more.
Cactus water
is incredibly refreshing, only a bit pricey, but sometimes I have to
pamper myself with it. Drinking some early on a Monday morning can
work wonders.
I
wonder if I should be writing down recipes in my new Periodic
Table of the Elements notebook?
I
have mentioned pickling vegetables here
and there on the blog and now I pickled some carrot strings. These
are really nice additions to large roast meals, salads, lunchboxes
etc.
Porridge oats are
definitely an important staple in my dry cupboard. I often make a
savoury Nordic style oatmeal porridge and also use the oats in my
homemade spelt rolls.
These
fruit crisps are
great in breakfast bowls, or just as snacks in between. I especially
like the pineapple ones.
Tofu is
a very important ingredient in my vegetarian kitchen and I quite like
Clearspot's Cpt Beancurd character.
BrewDog's Chili Hammer is
an excellent beer with some kick of chilli. Chilli is very
interesting in beers, it's quite smooth and more than okay even for
me who can't take too much heat.
Thanks
for reading and have a good weekend!

Hi there and happy new year to you! Funnily enough, I tasted my first veg sausage yesterday... it was truly delicious. I adore blood oranges... we enjoyed a good season here. Tell me, what does the cactus juice taste like? Thank you for the very kind shout out. Happy cooking. x
ReplyDeleteHaha! Captain Beancurd - aye aye :-)
ReplyDeleteI like the look of your weekly shop! You should try Aloe Vera water, it's sweet and refreshing and can be diluted to make it less sweet and even more refreshing!
I will be sharing my IMK post soon, but I do like having a nosy in other peoples kitchen. Clearspot must have changed their packaging recently as I don't recognise the one you have showcased, trip to Holland and Barrett this week.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the picture of your weekly shopping. Have your tried maple water? It is also very refreshing. I will keep an eye out for cactus water, I only remember it being mentioned in old westerns where it was a life saver when caught in the desert.
ReplyDeletecute cute bento moulds. cactus water is new on me. sounds intriguing and refreshing. pickled veg are all the rage at the moment; you see them everywhere. but to be honest i'm not sure i like them :=) probably a foodie sin to admit that!
