Making a good alternative to pasta using tofu shirataki noodles & fresh herbs from the garden.

  

1 pack of tofu shirataki noodles 

(you can find these at any Asian food store.)

*1 clove of sliced garlic

*Chopped avocado

*Chopped kale

*A handful of chopped fresh basil and parsley 

*Sprinkle of chili flakes 

*Pinch of rock salt 

*And juice of half a lemon.

Drain the tofu shirataki noodles and put into a saucepan/ add all the ingredients and mix together and cook on a low heat until everything is warm and ready to serve. 

Pancake thoughts. Thick buckwheat pancakes or skinny chocolate crepes. Take your pick!

Dinner @ Cafe Select. A good old cheeseburger

Summer coffee inspiration,

An iced coconut milk latte.

This photo was not taken by me, I found it on a cute blog that I can't remember the name of. Such a good idea. Another drink to try is an iced soy chai latte with a shot of expresso. (Dirty chai latte.)

The breakfast wrap from Local NYC.

My favourite thing to make at home for breakfast.

Nothing can be as simple and easy as eating avocado and tomato on toast for breakfast. Add sea salt, chili flakes and a squeeze of lemon juice! Adding lemon juice makes it that much more enjoyable and I use gluten free bread.

Brunch at The Little Owl.

In the West Village,  there is The Little Owl. Small and cosy with a cute atmosphere, I had my first brunch since returning to NYC. Poached eggs on fontina biscuit with sausage, greens and a side of hollandaise & Buckwheat pancakes with mixed berries and maple syrup. Good start to the first Sunday back in the city.
