Seasonal menus

It’s going to be an interesting challenge finding good meals for the coming colder months. Fresh fruit and big green salads are wonderful when it’s warm and sunny, but not so satisfying when it’s cold and rainy.

I have been slowly collecting appropriate vegetarian/vegan recipes while trawling through the blogosphere, like this vegetarian split pea soup, which sounds divine. Am currently keeping my eyes open for a good dahl recipe. And anything involving chickpeas in a stew.

And, thanks to the ‘sphere, I have recently been introduced to the wonders of steel cut oats. I always found instant oats okay but somewhat like eating white bread – quick, easy but like something’s missing. Not so with the steel cut variety. Simple recipe here. Deliciously warming.
