Five Favourite Things – March

March 28, 2012 · 9 Comments

I am going a little “Sound of Music meets Oprah” today and sharing with you some of my favourite things. These are some things I have been in love with lately.

 My essential oil diffuser and Young Living oils – these are food grade therapeutic oils and are very effective.  I use it every night with lavender to help me get off to sleep. Addicted.

Peace, man! I have been wearing this gorgeous bracelet I got for my 40th birthday last year all the time….. I just love it. It’s very ME!

Baby capsicum… baby vegetables are just way cuter than normal vegetables! I just fling some oil on to them and roast at high temp until all golden and caramelized and gooey….. drool!

The fabulous Miss Phryne Fisher. I have finally finished all the Phryne novels ! I am also enjoying Phryne on the ABC (Australia) as well. Such a great character, set in Australia, written by an Australian author. I love how books transport you to another time and place. Notice the library sticker? I get most of my novels from the library. It saves trees!

My favourite breakfast on my new(ish) deck:

Organic poached eggs with organic avocado on homemade organic spelt toast topped with pink Himalayan sea salt and pepper….. and a cup of organic chamomile tea in my special peacock fine bone china mug…… trees, birds, fresh air….. bliss! It’s the simple things in life that can bring the most pleasure.

Now, that I have told you my favourite things, I want you to tell me yours. What are your favourite things at the moment? Tell me your top 5.

    Hi Linda… would you believe we bought it at a shoe/handbag shop in Kingaroy (little town in QLD) when we went there on holidays at Christmas time. There was no branding on it or anything. Not much help, am I?

    I baked this recipe today and it is excellent. It’s full of wholemeal goodness and beautifully moist. It’s definitely going to become a favourite in our household. Next time I’m going to bake three loaves at the same time to save energy. The great thing is that the loaf is so adaptable. You can use hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, poppy seeds, buckwheat, ground almonds or pine kernels, for example, instead of the linseed, sunflower seeds and almond slivers.
    ——————————————————————————–
    Ingredients:
    500g spelt grains or wheat grains
    1 packet of fresh yeast (I used two packets dried yeast)
    1.5 tsp salt
    1 tbsp sugar beet molasses or sugar
    75 g rolled oats
    50 g almond slivers
    50 g linseed
    50 g sunflower seeds
    500 g lukewarm water
    2 tbsp apple vinegar

    Preparation:
    Grind spelt grains 1 min /speed 10.
    Add yeast and mix 5 secs / speed 5.
    Add all other ingredients and mix 2.5 mins /
    Grease a loaf pan and pour in the very liquid spelt dough. Place in lower third of COLD oven and bake 70 mins at 170C.
