Baby Beet, Steamed and Dressed

This home-garden-grown baby beetroot was washed, steamed for five minutes, then dressed with olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. The root, bulb and leaves were consumed by your faithful editor. Grown in soil with only kitchen compost as a fertiliser, and no pesticides, this exquisite, nutritious beet was part of a health-promoting luncheon.

Elegant Pantry Arrangement

Design Warehouse has French glasses and plastic lids (see bottom shelf).
The jars with red lids used to hold coffee, and were collected over a couple of years (middle shelf).
Spices and smaller bottles are on the bottom shelf for easy identification; large containers are on the top level, where they are still easy to see.

M-J's Elegant Lemon-Coconut Pudding

Low-Carb Lemon-Coconut Pudding
Ingredients: instant sugar-free lemon pudding mix, made with coconut milk and unsweetened almond milk instead of the cow's milk recommended on the box, with the addition of some sugar-substitute and a few drops of vanilla. Of course, you could use the sugared variety of instant pudding.
