What's wrong with what we eat?

This video is a little more serious than what I usually post but I recommend that you give it a watch. We all love food but maybe it's time we spend a little more time thinking about what we're eating and the consequences of our food choices, it affects more than just our body.

Ham & Cheese Crepes

This breakfast was incredibly satisfying. Cooked with ham and shredded mozzarella + served with the gold ol' Tropicana goodness.  I have always been one for savory breakfasts so warm cheesy crepes warm my heart and belly. :)

The key to perfect crepes? A non-stick pan!

Two lesbians raised and baby and this is the outcome.

Perfection

This young man sends a very powerful message and I hope his words will be shared with millions. Take the opportunity to hear his courageous words and maybe it will open your mind. Zach Wahls, I commend you.

Simplicity

Wouldn't life be so simple if you can drop everything and just bake?

School is taking a toll on me emotionally and physically. I can't wait to finish this year but the thought of more schooling in years to come just seems so tiring. Being  a baker seems so simple or any job that gives you the freedom to create. Forget scientific evidence or any type of analysis. Just being able to create something beautiful is enough.

Sensical Words

Love this:

If you don't live for something, you'll die for nothing.

As promised. Soup accompanied with 2 multigrain dinner rolls for lunch at work.

Sheeesh - Creamy Mushroom Soup

Alright, I admit that this site has been severely neglected. I apologize but this summer has been a busy one for me and blogging has been pushed aside. I have a creamy mushroom soup recipe that I would like to share with you lovely readers out there. I for the majority of my life, up until 2 weeks ago, have been opposed to mushroom soup. It just looks gross, goopy and grey! However, I decided to make some after buying too many organic mushrooms and was pleasantly surprised. 15mins and no more!

1 container of white mushrooms
1 onion (white or yellow)
1/3 cup of beef stock
1/3 cup of water
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of flour
dash of chilli powder
salt and lots of freshly cracked pepper

Finely dice mushrooms and onion [this negates having to puree the soup] while pot is heating on stove with olive oil. Toss both in and saute until well cooked. If sticking to pot, add dash of broth or water (your choice) to unstick everything. When well cooked, add water and broth to pot and bring to a boil. Combine milk and flour in a separate boil and whisk until well mixed. Turn down heat to med-high (max) and combine milk-flour mixture to pot. Whisk until soup begins to thicken up. Once done, add seasoning and there you go! Simple and 10x better than the canned stuff.
