Awhile back Sigrid from Cooking and Eating with Polkadotcupcake and Marisa from The Creative Pot where chatting about Mexican food on Twitter. Their conversation escalated into a cheese slut confessional and the creation of the #cheeseslut tag. Soon bloggers started coming out of the woodwork (including myself) declaring their love for all things cheesy. Check out Browniegirl, Cook sister! and My easy cooking for more #cheeseslut posts.
This soup was my contribution to a weekend #cheeseslut cooking challenge and also to Mothers’ Day lunch. I made sure I had some leftover for lunch the next day too though.
Today’s Lunch:
Here is my recipe for the soup
Ingredients:
Method:
apple, avocado, blue cheese, broccoli, lettuce, red pepper, sandwhich, soup
#Cheesesluts, Packed Lunches
I assimilated this pasta dish into my repertoire after reading the recipe in the Slow Food Cape Town CSA newsletter. It’s one of my favourite weekday meals to make, all you need is three ingredients and about fifteen minutes and supper is ready. Just perfect.
Today’s Lunch:
Did you notice the little octopus food picks in my lunch box? Aren’t they cute? Here’s a close-up of the little smiling faces.
baby corn, blue cheese, broccoli, cucumber, melon, pasta, tomato
Packed Lunches
I received a bottle of lemon olive oil cranberry balsamic reduction pomegranate splash made by Verlaque in my goodie bag from the SA Food Bloggers Conference. For something a little different I used the splash to marinate a few pork chops before adding some freshly ground black pepper and grilling in the oven. The lemon and other fruit flavours lend a tangy punch to the chops, definitely a meal I’ll repeat in the near future.
Today’s Lunch:
broccoli, butternut, cucumber, pineapple, pork chop, radish, verlaque
Packed Lunches
The little panda shaped soy sauce bottle in today’s lunch is part of a small package of bento goodies a friend brought back from Japan for me after a recent visit. I’ve been eyeing these little bottles for awhile, but the price of buying them over the internet is a big prohibiting factor. Especially when I know that they are not that expensive to buy in Japan itself. I feel very lucky to have gotten my hands on some now and am going to have lots of fun using them in the future.
Today’s Lunch:
broccoli, chicken, chives, grapes, mushroom, orange pepper, ponzu, rice, yellow pepper
