Food from the Week



Before I hop into this one; Who likes my weekly 'Food from the Week' feature?
Is it a highlight or a low light?
Inspiring?
Boring?
Let me know what you think...






 I don't often eat toast but when I do, maannn do I enjoy it.
The fridge asked me to eat Ricotta and Avocado, so I did.







This would look like a healthy lunch to most, but this scrap of lettuce, pile of 'wholemeal' crackers and canned pumpkin soup was revolting.  I was seriously running out of food this week.






This photo does not do justice to the amazing-ness of vegetable broth with soba noodles.







Lazy lunch that involved no where near enough fresh crunch.
That is ricotta, olive tapenade and tahini.






The yumminess that is a 'Natty Dinner'
Grilled veg on a pile of sweet potato mash with mushrooms and chickpeas cooked in garlic, french mustard and a little rice milk for creaminess.
M did not approve.







This was amazing.  Balsamic and avocado are meant to be together.







Light din after a big day of eating.  I am having a love affair with cauliflower.







If you can master a good, basic Italian tomato sauce, you can do sooo much.
Here is is with some tuna, peas and capers thrown in.
YUM.







Look what arrived!
Yet to confirm when I'll be starting but it will be done in the next two weeks before I return to work.







Ordering Pizza?  Try it the Natalie way..
"Vegetarian with extra veg, add anchovies and only a sprinkle of cheese, please"



What food has inspired you this week?

Stay well,
