Mimi from Manger does it again with spell binding pomegranate merengues.
For a savoury recipe, these walnut and lentil burgers look great to me.
On a sad note, I was really sorry to hear this week that Gabrielle Roth the author and creator of 5 rhythms dance is nearing the end of her life through having cancer. I was introduced to Gabrielle's wonderful work through her book 'Sweat Your Prayers'. I recommend her books to anyone interested in re-connecting with their true selves.
And while we're on the topic of being true to our heart, if you struggle with self-acceptance or are having a case of the 'I'm not good enoughs' read this post by American wellness blogger Kris Carr.
I hope your week has been nourishing in lots of ways and if it hasn't - next week change it! Food wise my week has been very nourishing but I am so ready for a night off from 'what's for dinner?' 'time for a bath' 'brush your teeth' etc; So, I have arranged with Pete to hand over the dinner shift to him tonight and when the clock strikes 5pm and hungry tired children start to prowl the kitchen I will wave the children and Pete farewell and head out to walk on the beach or go to a movie or perhaps even a soak at the hot springs. I'll return a few hours later when all is said and done. I feel better already.
Happy weekending x
oh, i think your idea is pure brilliance, i particularly love how effortless and carefree you throw around 'hot springs', oh me oh my, having never experienced such a thing, you know i have created it in my mind to be the best thing EVER, tell me it's true.
ReplyDeletelovin the friday links, have a gorgeous weekend, mwah
dear Jay it is true. A soak in those hot springs is so deeply relaxing and rejuvenating it is indeed the best thing ever, especially for a sleep deprived mother. Oh good I'm glad you are loving the links I like sharing them and I like reading them on others blogs too. You too have a great weekend xx
ReplyDeleteI loved looking around these links - I have bookmarked those lentil and walnut burgers for a dinner idea. I also love that you're having "dinnertime off" - sounds like the perfect way to spend some time reconnecting with yourself. I've just discovered your blog - it's an inspiration! x
ReplyDeleteps. I am envious of your organic strawberries - we've got maybe another month to wait for them here unfortunately.
Hello and welcome G! Thanks for your lovely words. Glad you enjoyed the links and yes those lentil burgers do look good. The strawberries were a real find today at our local organic farm they have been so pricey but today they were down to $6 a punnet which I know some people will still consider to be pricey but believe me they were worth every cent. I look forward to seeing more on your really lovely blog x
DeleteYou had me at lemon brownies! And, yes, the hot springs have been calling me for weeks now. so time to give them a visit I think. Enjoy whatever you get up to on your evening off xxx
