Crispy, creamy, crunchy, crumbly, colourful, creative,… the list goes on! But tell me, what are your favourite C-food-related-words?
Breakfast
With weather getting worse and worse as we are getting deeper into the autumn, I am kind of saying goodbye to figs, and I am almost 100% sure that this is the last post this year featuring them. Not gonna lie, this makes me sad, but I am still excited for new food obsessions!
As I have stated in my Monday’s Instagram post, despite the rainy morning, I started the day with happy thoughts and flavoursome breakfast:
I spread mashed avocado in a thick layer over a thin rye cracker, then added slices of boiled egg and fig. Now, I have to make a small digression here: the idea to put a fig on a sandwich is absolutely new to me. I saw an image of a salad with figs, then a bruschetta with figs and finally I had to create some sort of savoury meal with this fruit! I found it so refreshing and interesting and cannot recommend it enough! Hurry up, before figs are gone from the market! Finally, I drizzled tahini paste on top of the sandwiches and added freshly ground black pepper.
Snack
Morning snack looked like this:
sweet pears, sliced and garnished with cinnamon, flax seeds, cranberries and raisins. There’s no such thing as too sweet snacks, right?!
Lunch
Crispy gnocchi? Creamy chicken? Chicken and mushrooms? Tomato and chives? Oh well, this dish has it all!

Crispy Gnocchi
If this is new to you, you’ll be surprised by its easiness and tastiness!
- cook gnocchi according to the instructions on the package (be careful not to overcook them);
- let the gnocchi dry out a bit and then cover them with 1 tbsp of corn flour or polenta and a pinch of salt;
- heat a tiny bit of olive oil or butter on non-stick pan and fry gnocchi for 2 minutes both sides.
Then serve with sliced tomato sprinkled with chives et voila! There you have it, enjoy and come back for more recipes by Miss Foodsy!
