The eclectic learner

Good evening! I like experimenting with new soups when the cooler weather arrives here in England. This time I'd like to share a soup that I found really tasty - although I reckon that when it comes to personal preferences, everyone is different - and to make sure I won't forget how I made it, I will pen the ingredients before they leave my busy mind for good! I will add a photograph as soon as I can - so far I only managed to get really ugly ones! ************************************************************************ Hearty vegetable soup with cauliflower and kale Ingredients 1/ cauliflower, cut in small bits 2 large kale leaves, cut in bits, stalks not included 1 large onion, shredded 3 or more gloves of garlic salt to taste 1 spoon of medium Curry powder 1 medium potato, sliced and diced olive oil optional: a few tomato crisps * and some fresh parsley to add to each plate Preparation Stir fry all the ingredients, then add water (about 1 litre), and s

Good morning, world! It's sunny today in Norfolk, and after a week of foggy, cloudy weather it's so energising to have breakfast in a sunny living room! But I am digressing. The reason for this post is another one- some lovely food I wanted to share with you! Well, at least the recipe... Last year I found  This  recipe in Gena Hamshaw's gorgeous Choosing Raw website. I tried to make it and as usual I adjusted the recipe to account for my preferences. It came out so good that I wrote, "voted 10/10" and put it permanently in my raw food recipes folder (which is an expensive plastic folder, with printed recipes, not a digital folder). Yesterday I decided it was time to prepare these tartelettes again as we had guests coming for dinner. With the ingredients I had I made 6 of them, plus a plate full of raw choc balls, and half a jar of raw nutella. Let me explain. The product in the picture above is the one prepared by Gena. My version is different and

I am so in love with the Natural Buzz - wonderful website, lots of useful information, and plenty of organic, had-made products for you lucky people who live in the U.S.A. Today I wanted to share their immune system boosting recipe, which reminds me of what Dr. Christopher taught us about natural healing. Nature knows best - always! Here's the recipe… Immune system booster 1/4 C. Honey 2TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar 2 Tsp Turmeric Pinch of Pepper 1/4 Tsp Ginger 1/4 Tsp Grated Lemon Peel Mix ingredients and store in refrigerator. Stir and add a large spoonful to hot water and drink like tea. We drink it every morning and every evening. Enjoy and Bee Well… To learn more about each ingredient you want to go to  The Natural Buzz ! I can almost visualise how one can twist this recipe to make a soar throat remedy or even some delicious dehydrated pills which could be so convenient to carry in a purse… Let me know how it works for you. I do prepare something very si

This is how things go in my household nowadays - I turn on my iMac, thinking that I really need to update my blogs, and instead I stumble upon an interesting blog written by somebody else, where a link catches my attention and leads me somewhere else….until I realise that two hours have passed and my blogs remained intact! Which describes, by the way, exactly what happened yesterday evening. I was browsing a lovely blog named  anywaytostayathome , and of course I checked all the links there. Among them there was  mojomums , which was also rather intriguing, and once again, I checked their links. I ended up checking a new website called Phyto-fit . Mmm. That sounded interesting. Phytos means plant in Greek, so I had to have a look. Immediately. And was I glad I went there! First of all, their mission is inline with mine, "Our mission is a simple one. To become the largest Natural Health Based Solutions Company within the UK. Its so hard for consumers to know what is actually
