Vegetable curry - as known as one bowl lunch.

(Em português)

Sometimes I happen to eat mostly out of home for a couple days, or eat mostly junk food, for any other reason.

Then I just need to stop by the farmers market and buy a bunch of veggies and fruits, and eat only fresh food to compensate.

When I'm in that mood, and still very busy, this curry works wonders.

It's quick to prepare, can be done with almost any vegetable you like, and is comforting.

Works best in cold weather, but whatever. I like it in summer too.

Italian-ish: pumpkin and carrot soup.

(In Portuguese)

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.

A classic is a classic, and vice-versa.

(In Portuguese)

The classic in question is rice and beans, which always has one small change or another, but I never get tired of it.
After a couple days without stoping at home, I went to the supermarket and cooked a lunch comme il faut.
I had it with a colorful yummy salad, and a roasted pumpkin slice that doesn't show in the pictures.

When I cook breakfast, I cook breakfast!

Cooking for some people is more fun than cooking for few people, even more if it is family's breakfast in a holiday. :)
Today we had pumpkin pancakes, quick and easy.

Steadier footing.

March 1st was  for me a day to celebrate new and old things, both very important.

I worked hard, had a delicious dinner at an Italian restaurant, and today is a day to tidy up the house.

So here goes a simple lunch, which stays in the oven while I organize things around my place.

Butternut squash lasagna.

(In Portuguese)

Lately I have seen many recipes with squash in foreign blogs,
and that made me want to eat it as well.
Sure I'll have to wait until they are in season, but even so I found some butternut squashes at the market that will do the trick.
Anyway, it's been raining a lot in São Paulo and the temperature has come down.
Which is great for a lasagna!
