Holy shadoodle. It. Is. Cold. So cold I had a hard time convincing myself to open the fridge to make lunch. Once I got over the fear though, I found the ingredients for some good old-fashioned comfort food. I didn’t have the ingredients I was hoping for, but when you can make snow from a cup of boiled water outside (we did science experiments at breakfast today!), you forget about grocery shopping and make do with what you’ve got. And today, what I had, made a damned fine omelette.
Sauteed purple onion and spinach, cooked with a mixture of beaten eggs and cream in a frying pan. When the bottom looks like it’s almost ready, top it with a generous sprinkling of goat cheese and throw it under the broiler until fluffy, and just golden. Toast with butter on the side. A warm and happy belly is guaranteed.

Avocado. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… Was Elizabeth Barrett Browning writing about one of my favourite foods? Probably not, but I will pretend she was, because I love it on salads, in guacamole, in wraps, in pasta, with a spoon, and on and on. Today, an everlasting love affair between avocado and tomato continues, in sandwich form.
Toasted GF bread slathered with mayonnaise, topped with tomato, avocado, and purple onion. A generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper adds some spice and a whole lot of deliciousness.

I have a hard time eating salads sometimes. It bugs me when one mouthful is all greens, and the next one is all tomatoes or what have you. Perhaps I have issues, but I want to taste everything, in every bite, without having to perform a circus act on my fork to get it all into my mouth. For those reasons, this salad rocks, my, world. It is also a great way to use up odds and ends of veggies from your crisper.
In my crisper, I had purple onion, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, red pepper and mixed greens, but feel free to put anything you want in. Chop it all up super fine and add the secret ingredients that take this salad from meh to awesome… Avocado and cheese (I used extra old cheddar), both diced finely. Mix everything up with some freshly ground black pepper, and I swear you won’t even notice this salad has no dressing. Try it. Really.
