Been to yoga, done my grocery shopping and dinner is almost done
yes...feeling very energetic today...
dinner is going to be chicken, leek and mushroom pie (slowly cooking at the moment in my
favourite pot)
On a different note I wanted to show you a gorgeous present my hubby and I received yesterday (from a lovely friend of ours) two lovely little vases from dinosaur designs - here they are in all their glory in our kitchen, on the counter near the window
they look incredible when touched by natural light :)
And there's an amazing light today...
the kitchen enjoyed a bit of it
and so did the middle of the house :)

Hello Claudia:
ReplyDeleteYour supper looks to be delicious, as we are sure it was - we love these one pot dishes as they are always full of flavour.
Your new vases are very pretty. A kind and thoughtful gift and, as you say, they will look most attractive when caught in the light.
AS for your interior views, your house looks lovely and most obvioulsly arranged with great care and thought to the overall appearance and style. We should expect no less from you!!
Have a good weekend too.
Those vases are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the porch/balcony in your house,
it looks like a cozy place to hang out with friends and family ♥
Lovely kitchen Claudia!And your porch is perfect for a a dinner with friends...

Chicken, leek and mushroom pie? That sounds amazing! Do you have the recipe?
ReplyDelete@ Jess
ReplyDeletethe recipe was made up by me but it tasted really good...
500 gr. organic chicken fillets cut into small pieces
1 leek
1 punnet sliced mushrooms (just field)
thyme
enough stock to just cover the content of your pot
1 tbsp flour
potatoes or other vegetable to add if u want (i added 6 small chat potatoes sliced in half)
3/4 cup verjuice
brown the chicken put aside, cook leek and mushrooms in some light olive oil for a few minutes, return chicken to pot, add flour, cook for a couple of minutes, add verjuice then stock, cover with lid and cook for 45 min on very low heat or in a slow oven. Add extra veggies the last 20 min.
Wow Claudia thank you for this beautiful award!!
ReplyDeleteI have been struggling with pneumonia the last 6 weeks, I have been really sick with it twice so it has made my day to see your message today!!!
I love your blog & get inspired by the beautiful images you find.
Have a wonderful day :)

Why thank you for the lovely blog award Claudia! Very chuffed!
ReplyDeleteThis one pot dish looks delish. Love a splash of verjuice - and mushrooms are an absolute favourite.
Loving that huge rustic beam in your living room - gorgeous! And yes, that sneaky spring sunshine is bringing happiness with it, I reckon, wherever it falls.

ReplyDeleteAnd the chicken dish - yummy.
