(Another) squash soup.

(Em português)

As I often do, I looked into my refrigerator to get some inspiration. I was hungry.

I thought to myself "something that cooks fast".

Therefore I used squash, zucchini and chayote. I think it was the quickest/ yummiest soup I've ever made. The hunger might have influenced this perception...

Onion soup.

Lately I was making an effort to post at least once a week, but in the last few days it
simply wasn't possible. Thankfully, for good reasons.
And even without recent posts, without many frequent readers, I was very glad to know
- through blogger's statistics - that some readers showed up from places I hadn't imagine,
from faraway countries such as Turkey or Estonia.
Be welcome, everybody! Tell me about you. Leave comments about the ways you eat and cook, or about something else.
Everyone, Brazilians, Americans, Spanish too! Tell me what you think of what is in for today. :)

I adapted this recipe from Jamie Oliver, and it fits perfectly for a cold night.

I don't really think it is very much like his recipe, but it tasted good and cozy.

Unlike the famous chef, I put potatoes in the soup and left the bread out.

Italian-ish: pumpkin and carrot soup.

In a cold night, there is nothing like a good soup. Which is an indication that many soups will appear in the next posts...

This one, seasoned with cinnamon and rosemary, won my heart in no time. I found the recipe here.

As in that old saying: more haste, more speed,
when there are deadlines to meet.

It's hot in here, right?

(In Portuguese)


Yeah, it's hot.
But I don't mind, I made soup anyway.

Lentils.

(In Portuguese)


Well, in my home we have always eaten lentils with rice, in the same way we eat rice and beans.

Sometimes we even make some farofa and stuff.

Today I cooked quick lentils, but I cooked plenty of it so that I'll have some lunch ready in advance for the first days of the week

Cloudy saturday.

Now I present a lunch I made myself.
