Fruit done Nicely

Though I've got a long list of recipes I'd like to share, I'm not willing to do it without pictures. There are no pictures right now because I am forced to live out of my pantry for the moment. Had some soup tonight I wouldn't even feed my worst enemy.. Well ok, that's exaggerated, but it was flavourless, so I won't be posting it here!
This lovely photo from my archives is what I'll be sharing tonight instead. Maybe not such a good photo, but certainly a nice looking plate of fruit, right? All credit goes to my mother, who really knows how to present food. It does really make it taste better, honest!
I'm not even sure what that red/green kiwi like thing is called, or the cute star shaped fruits.. Who can tell me?

Dinner with family

Ever since I started taking an interest in evolution based eating, my mother has been very supportive. Tonight I had dinner at her place, and it was such a nice example of how it can be combined with 'regular' diets, that I thought I'd make a post about it. So no actual recipe tonight, sorry!

This first picture on the right is a fruit salad for me (pomegranate, appel, banana & orange if I remember correctly) and the others had chocolate creamy stuff to go with it. They all really enjoyed it. Doesn't make me feel deprived either, because my mother's fruit salads are always so insanely good.

As you can see here by this huge bowl my mother uses for making salad, she always tries to make sure I don't have to eat for 3 days straight :)
She always makes lovely salad, this time with red cabbage, onion, carrots & pointed cabbage. Just olive oil and lemon juice for dressing. Honestly that works with almost everything!

She also made plain cooked brussel sprouts, which I ate almost all by myself. Love them, which she ofcourse knows, my mother really is a star.


In the picture above you can also see the chicken bones from the oven dish of potatoes, chicken and little green peas. (She forgets I'd rather not eat beans/peas, and I'm not about to complain.) The others have the potatoes to satisfy them, and a lovely flat turkish 'pideh' bread.

We also had lovely onion soup, which I really hope she remembers how to make, because it'll be a big loss to anyone who actually reads this blog if she doesn't. It was awesome, and I really want to share the recipe with y'all.
