Sweet Violets Bouquet |
It's a long list!
I have several hours of admin to do this week at my desk, never a task I look forward to. I'll have to take frequent housework breaks, just to cheer myself up.
Cooking any easy dinners? I think I'll put a butter bean gratin on our menu this week.
This is so easy when served with some whole wheat couscous. The butter beans themselves are from a can (very cheater-like) and if you see this Italian brand in your grocery store I recommend them. The beans are steam-cooked before canning and they have a perfect texture.
I had a lovely large bunch of Swiss chard, and after sautéing it with shallots and mini sweet peppers I added the rinsed butter beans.
Add some cashew cream...
... and top with my favourite mixture of ground nuts and nutritional yeast. I posted the recipe for this nut mixture at the end of this post.
How's your week shaping up? Any big projects to tackle? Lots of eye-crossing admin to get done?
Whatever you're dealing with, I hope it goes well.

PS it seems I'm taking the week off blogging... not my intention to do so and I hope to be back by Friday/Saturday with a party-prep post. xxx
