Time goes by so fast. I would really like to run this blog more regularly again, maybe a New Year's resolution? I now have a beautiful kitchen, I have decided to start receiving organic vegetable boxes again (after a 4 year pause!), so I just need to DO IT!<br />
<br />
I will probably add my runner's diary to this, as I started running last year, and I think that posting about it would just motivate me to run more regularly, and better. Once you've told the world you're doing something, there's no going back, is there?<br />
<br />
Oh, and finally, have a look at the following page. This lady makes baking so easy :)<br />

We have a beautiful baby girl who is now 13 months old. I love preparing many delicious meals for the three of us and she loves her food :-)<br />
<br />
I have also recently started a new job which is extremely demanding, so writing recipes is not top of my agenda right now.<br />
<br />
I haven't found (taken) time to write all the new recipes we have tried... shame on me. But I regularly consult this blog for inspiration. I hope others do too!<br />
<br />
I hope to return to recipe writing soon.green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-76151245185506754422009-04-21T17:31:00.004+01:002009-04-21T17:42:48.672+01:00Purple sprouting broccoliFinally, our purple sprouting broccoli is ready to be consumed!

It is unbelievable how tasty and good it is. For a start, I ecould smell the broccoli whilst picking and cooking it. Then the cooking water was bright green, as if grass juice, which probably means that there are millions more nutrients and goodness in these than the ones we buy from the greengrocer.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpY3diT5ZmgLd4ri0q7_0rSKkmh5l-X7zRu7GqE48FIPzB8V0lzIPgczy7QB-nkLdHPufJBWF7Lsv5puDbhI0euDH5gdrGdcFuMQ0Xe8G2klxFFSk0FfamAkhPZnI2qE2lSthKZA/s1600-h/DSC05184.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpY3diT5ZmgLd4ri0q7_0rSKkmh5l-X7zRu7GqE48FIPzB8V0lzIPgczy7QB-nkLdHPufJBWF7Lsv5puDbhI0euDH5gdrGdcFuMQ0Xe8G2klxFFSk0FfamAkhPZnI2qE2lSthKZA/s400/DSC05184.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327184944371902402" border="0" /></a><br />I really recommend growing purple sprouting broccoli. It sure takes a lot of space (over 1 m2 per plant) and it does take up your space for at least a year, but it is well worth it if you have the space. We will be growing them again this year for sure!green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-63026387602226525912009-03-11T17:54:00.004+00:002009-03-11T17:59:32.340+00:00Touch of springSeeing these crocuses in the morning make me feel really happy :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGTQ5Fjp1mmW04yRAwvz8rvAlm2zDmjgRLc_7NG0F9b2K0IkjYuBsYXAojM_jV2-1QJmf7Onk0eULPkVevJEGQTbd9w4Q188Q4kfzLJ9bA86VpL1wn9tPjuQrnoLpQrQ-O0k7Cw/s1600-h/DSC05069.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiGTQ5Fjp1mmW04yRAwvz8rvAlm2zDmjgRLc_7NG0F9b2K0IkjYuBsYXAojM_jV2-1QJmf7Onk0eULPkVevJEGQTbd9w4Q188Q4kfzLJ9bA86VpL1wn9tPjuQrnoLpQrQ-O0k7Cw/s400/DSC05069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311990846496953826" border="0" /></a>green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-22380193943570167152009-02-21T16:19:00.003+00:002009-02-21T16:24:03.744+00:00Menu week 2009-09<div style="text-align: center;">Chickpea & vegetable korma (NEW!),<br />with basmati rice<br /><br />Creamy pasta bake (NEW!)<br /><br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2008/03/vegetable-enchilladas-with-soya-bean.html">Beansprouts and vegetables enchilladas</a><br /><br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2007/10/cheesy-vegetable-chowder.html">Cheesy vegetable chowder</a><br /></div>green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-12689944901562569292009-02-16T19:52:00.003+00:002009-02-16T20:00:54.525+00:00First snowdropLast year the daffodils and crocuses came en masse right at the beginning of February, and this year, with all the cold and snow we have had, even the snowdrops haven't come out properly.

Something to do with both of us being out and coming back late and then we had no time to cook a full meal. Usually it ends up with grilling some Cauldron organic veggie sausages, making some mashed potatoes, and boiling some peas: not very healthy :-(<br /><br />So, here is our attempt for this week. We will try to stick to it this time! Although I will probably have to fly to Belfast for a couple of days, not sure yet if and when it will happen though...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2007/12/stuffed-mushrooms.html">Stuffed mushrooms</a>,<br />served with broccoli and mashed potatoes<br /><br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2006/10/vegetable-bake-with-carrots-and.html">Carrot and parsnip bake</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2008/04/tofu-noodle-stir-fry.html">Tofu & noodle stir-fry</a><br /><br />Lentil paté (NEW!)<br /></div></div>green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-86796795120358472642009-02-08T16:10:00.003+00:002009-02-16T20:21:47.431+00:00Menu week 2009-07<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2007/12/stuffed-mushrooms.html">Stuffed mushrooms</a>,<br />served with broccoli and mashed potatoes<br /><br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2006/10/vegetable-bake-with-carrots-and.html">Carrot and parsnip bake</a></span><br /><br />Spinach and lentil curry, with basmati rice<br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2008/09/spinach-potato-and-tomato-curry-with.html">based on creamy spinach curry</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBk14KcKZkSEXBcyxUaFOTuswE5O00z8gXyVR9efW5s9LwuO-lZ4B5nybBP6HNQnxnXZPTdsTzUaaNEMO_62m0Ts2qC7JOV4BQ85X16LjdWAHqHE9kKalgfbRYsGPAjE5kJ54CbQ/s1600-h/DSC04981xs.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBk14KcKZkSEXBcyxUaFOTuswE5O00z8gXyVR9efW5s9LwuO-lZ4B5nybBP6HNQnxnXZPTdsTzUaaNEMO_62m0Ts2qC7JOV4BQ85X16LjdWAHqHE9kKalgfbRYsGPAjE5kJ54CbQ/s400/DSC04981xs.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303491879119573394" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2007/03/cauliflower-and-broccoli-soup.html">Cauliflower and broccoli soup</a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7830gWb0ULbJuHFoSNCfwLGWgx3_5jpxqzKLZWUuZI88fRe3zQU43c65LBFjn94nYyX5XnWWpbK7t-LPCi7u36qh4Qn8RwkOF9eis-ny1-cwV51nB49LKU0_xwdxm-FroZFP3PQ/s1600-h/DSC05002xs.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7830gWb0ULbJuHFoSNCfwLGWgx3_5jpxqzKLZWUuZI88fRe3zQU43c65LBFjn94nYyX5XnWWpbK7t-LPCi7u36qh4Qn8RwkOF9eis-ny1-cwV51nB49LKU0_xwdxm-FroZFP3PQ/s400/DSC05002xs.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303491890335421730" border="0" /></a><br /></div>green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-43409974917316269002009-02-05T19:44:00.004+00:002009-02-05T19:59:52.486+00:00Light lunchThis light lunch was simply delicious.

I guess it's kind of easy since there aren't any biscuits or sweets in the house. The closest thing to sweet treats that we have in a cookie jar are cereal bars.<br /><br />But everyone needs a snack every now and then, and with the little one growing inside me, it is quite important to eat when I feel hungry. So as an alternative to the <a href="http://green-clementine.blogspot.com/2009/01/healthy-snack.html">yoghurt and fruit salad</a>, here is the 'classic' hummus and crudités snack:<br /><br />- 2 or 3 TBSP of ready-made low-fat hummus (well, I'm working full time after all, you can't make everything yourself!)<br />- 1 carrot, peeled and cut into sticks<br />- 1/3 cucumber, cut into sticks<br />- 2 celery branches, cut into sticks<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhos7YgveOH88QKHYc1D4DHZmPHao1_-YU-ERiatQofHttJ3_J1MYIv_M-Ljv8HvCWP-Z42CuCP5_1qH_R3fuDtocIv4K2-vIKlryFM7S9Ber_h7IETFOYncxxqPntBdzDq42yEUQ/s1600-h/DSC04938.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhos7YgveOH88QKHYc1D4DHZmPHao1_-YU-ERiatQofHttJ3_J1MYIv_M-Ljv8HvCWP-Z42CuCP5_1qH_R3fuDtocIv4K2-vIKlryFM7S9Ber_h7IETFOYncxxqPntBdzDq42yEUQ/s400/DSC04938.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299400361424878082" border="0" /></a>green clementinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689324130337222563noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30297543.post-40881212934838331962009-02-01T16:22:00.005+00:002009-02-01T16:31:25.322+00:00Vegetable enchilladas with red kidney beansThese make a very quick and healthy lunch, quite filling too, and very little washing up: what else can you ask?<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfjyPrv1O5O6opPB_2oHPaSZON3b395i4RcmPoz2uX_gsqBJ6wM8PbbvUiR_kNcGh21_UqjKTv4jujRVw7VZujNhF6BsZcWvdjfwbjpjKycDsekSMFgJHThw9ChX-BODnGdcUfg/s1600-h/DSC04929.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidfjyPrv1O5O6opPB_2oHPaSZON3b395i4RcmPoz2uX_gsqBJ6wM8PbbvUiR_kNcGh21_UqjKTv4jujRVw7VZujNhF6BsZcWvdjfwbjpjKycDsekSMFgJHThw9ChX-BODnGdcUfg/s400/DSC04929.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297865903634306706" border="0" /></a><br />Serves 4:<br /><br />4 wholemeal flour tortillas<br />1 can red kidney beans, rinced and drained<br />1 can chopped tomatoes<br />6 sticks of celery, sliced<br />1 courgette, cut into small chunks<br />1 green pepper, chopped<br />2 TBSP millet seeds<br />2 tsp hot chili powder<br />1 TBSP parsley<br />black pepper<br /><br />topping:<br />6 slices of mozzarella<br />1 TBSP pine kernels or sunflower seeds<br /><br />1.
