Happy fall with delicious bowl of wild mushroom soup! I am obsessed with mushrooms! Try this decadently & flavourful soup & let me know how you do! Tomorrow is #worldgratitudeday. While I don’t think you need a specific day to be grateful – similar to how you don’t need a “New Year” to start a health and fitness routine, I think it’s important to pause & use this day to increase your gratitude! It could be from affirmations, journaling, giving back to your community through food bank or your time, & spending time w/ friends. I have to say that I’m so grateful for this community. You take the time to respond to my stories, send me dms, share & try my recipes and just genuinely a really amazing group of people. Thank you! 🤗 grateful to @halfbakedharvest who inspires me to photograph savoury food 🥰 Mushroom soup with wild rice: 2 T of olive oil 3 shallot, diced. 1 medium carrot, peeled & chopped. 1 celery stick, chopped. 1 Tblspn of garlic paste 1 tsp of onion powder 2 cubes of veg bouillon 1 tsp of tomato paste 1 T of lemon juice 1/2 tsp of salt 2 bay leaves 1 tsp of dried parsley. 1 tsp of white miso paste.

Salads
To make fresh salads, simply chop onions, tomatoes and avocado in the processor. Then shred lettuce. Mix ingredients in the processor with olive oil, olives, feta cheese and balsamic vinegar. Serve in salad bowl.
Desserts
You can make all kinds of deserts with the food processor. Mix batters, juicy fruit fillings, and sauces in the processing bowl. Use the pulse and kneading functions to make dough before putting the filled pastry in the oven to bake.
Sauces
Make delicious sauces in seconds by pureeing fruits or vegetables, seasoning with salt, pepper or sugar and mixing the ingredients together.
Meat Dishes
The food processor’s powerful motor can also chop, dice or grind meat to suit your purposes. Simply introduce the meat into the feed tube, put on the suitable setting and watch as it does the hard work for you.

Hey guys, hope you’re all feeling as fabulous as I am after making this tasty lamb dish. 😊🙌🏾 – Lamb steak with Garlic Mint Sauce & Mashed potato – This is probably the 2nd dish I’ve posted on here that features red meat. I barely have it because my body finds it hard to digest generally. However, Lamb seems to have more mercy on me than other meats tbh, and quite frankly beef is the worst but we’ll leave that story for another day. 😂 ~ Last week, sadly I had to say my goodbyes to someone who meant the world to me and took care of me as a young child. No one and I mean NO ONE, could ever cook a lamb dish the way he did. His lamb chops, for instance… The way it would just sit in a pool of its herby flavoursome juices, and fall off the bone so effortlessly was just always perfect. I really miss him and today I thought to try and make some banging lamb chops as my way of finding comfort and doing something to remember him by.❤️ Unfortunately all @tescofood had was lamb steaks. I settled with it though because it is still lamb…🤷🏾♀️ I wanted to make my own mint sauce but then I came across a lamb chop with garlic mint sauce recipe online by @jocooks. I wish I had all the ingredients for the sauce, but I literally used what I had without substituting the ones I didn’t have. I used: Minced Garlic Chopped Mint Chilli flakes Dark soy sauce 2 tbsps sunflower oil Salt Pepper Guys let me tell you, this plate went in a hurry. The flavours from the garlic mint sauce really went well with the lamb. Maybe it could’ve been a bit more minty but other than that, I really did a thingggg.🤭😋 Eat or pass? • • #britainsbesthomecooks_ #jocooks #meat #meateater #steak #lambsteak #lambchops #lambdinner #meatdishes #lambandmint #garlicsauce #mashpotatoes #lambrecipes #britishfood #hungry #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodie #foodstagram #foodpics #foodaholic #foodpassion #foodforfoodies #foodnetwork #abitetoeatdaily #londonfoodguide #londonfoodblog #londonfoodblogger #foodiesofinstagram
