It's A Blue (Recipe) Day



It has been so nice to look out of our window this week and see sunshine and blue skies. Although in the present situation movement for many is restricted, it can and does help boost our mood! Apparently blue is the favourite colour of all people, and it’s nature’s colour for water and sky. But it was seeing this blue sky that inspired this 'it's a blue (recipe) day post' ... if you have a look at the recipes, they all have a blue theme!

By the way the first image was taken from google, but it's nice to imagine you are out enjoying a walk... 

I do hope you may enjoy these three recipe ideas. You will find many food and recipe suggestions within this blog, but not all recipes may be suitable for you. Any food allergies, or underlying health issues must always be taken into account. If you are a diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect your blood sugars, test is best, i.e. use your meter.

All the best Jan

  2. Oh, Jan! Now I'm so hungry and need to grocery shop. The only problem of course is what they have available. I always enjoy reading your recipes.

    Take care, and stay as safe as possible.

  9. Oh blue cheese, how I love thee. That's one cheese I won't make at home...yet. Apparently when you make it the mould spores travel everywhere. Cheese makers advise that you don't make blue cheese the same day you make bread or your bread will taste like it! I never knew that!
