Salad in a Sandwich

Today is a nice and sunny day in Blackpool for a change. I hope it will stay like this now. We need summer in England too, you know.

Anyway because it was sunny today, i felt like having something lighter for lunch.

Salad in a sandwich

Ingredients:

2 slices of your favourite bread (i used Hovis wholemeal bread but it's even better with home made or in store baked bread)

Mixed leaf salad (i used lambs lettuce and ruby chard)

Margarine or butter

1 tomato

Few slices of  cucumber

Sunflower seeds

Salad dressing (i used balsamic dressing)

Freshly ground black pepper

I probably don't need to tell you how to make a sandwich but i found that putting lettuce leaves on the slice of bread first and then adding other ingredients on top is the best because lettuce leaves don't fall out while eating. So anyway, assemble your sandwich, drizzle a little bit of salad dressing on top and sprinkle with some ground pepper, cover it with another slice of bread. Voila! You got yourself a salad sandwich. Enjoy.

Cook with me

Recently, well about a year ago or maybe longer, i realised that i liked cooking and baking. As a result, i now own about 23 recipe books. My aim is to try and make all the recipes from them. You are welcome to follow me in my journey through cook books.

Blueberry and Raspberry pancakes.



Blueberry, Raspberry and Cinnamon Pancakes

Makes about 18 pancakes

Ingredients:

200g/7 oz self-raising flour

100g/3 1/2 oz caster sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon (although i think the more the better) :)

1 egg

200 ml/7 fl oz milk

1 tsp butter

Handful of blueberries

Handful of raspberries

Maple syrup to serve

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Beat the egg and milk together and pour into the well. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.

Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until melted. Add pancake batter to the pan to form circles. Add few blueberries on top of some of the pancakes and few raspberries on the top of the other pancakes. Cook each pancake for about a minute or until it starts to bubble lightly on the top. Flip it over and cook for about 30 seconds, or until coked through. Enjoy :)

Picture a day Project

For a long time now i wanted to do 'Picture a Day Project'. I think turning 29 was a bit of a kick in a back side for me to do more and to create more. So yesterday i have started a project 'Picture a Day'. I will be sharing some of the pictures on here with you. At the end of the year when i turn 30, i'm going to publish the whole project here.

My amazing brothers

My brothers took me on a road trip for my birthday. We went to see lighthouses. I have always been fascinated by lighthouses but have never seen one close up before. It was one of my many dreams to see and to tour a lighthouse. So on my birthday my brothers made sure that my dream would come true :) Thank you so much both of you. You are the best brothers a girl could have.

It feels strange to turn 29..

I've just turned 29. It feels strange. I haven't achieved anything important in my life yet (at least i think so) and i'm nearly 30. I don't feel that old or that mature yet.

It feels like all my life has been passing by and i have been floating in this 'river' and waiting for a current to take me destination - wherever. So yesterday, on my birthday, i have decided to take my life into my own hands and achieve some of my life goals before i turn big 3 0. 

One of the goals was creating a blog, which i'm OBVIOUSY trying to do now :) In this blog i would like to record my life and the little things that make me smile so i would see weather i am a hopeless case or maybe something better that i imagine myself to be.

P.S. Hopefully writing this blog will improve my english skills as well.
