Elegant Beetroot from the Home Garden

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.

M-J’s Low-Carb 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.
