Pink and Green Veg
Ive never been much of a pink girl, but combined with my favourite colour, shades of pink and purple just sing, dont they? Luckily, veg are more than just pretty: these ones are set to make my week ahead delicious, too.
Last Sunday Andrew and I had Sunday lunch at a vegan restaurant, and our first taste of that much-maligned veggie feast, the nut roast, left us speechless. Who knew that this dubious mixture of mushrooms, ground nuts and brown rice could actually be good? Today Im tackling the hippy classic myself, and what you see here are the trimmings: red onions for some vegetarian gravy, parsnips for a roast side, and broccoli for the obligatory touch of green.
The lone beet will be lunch one day this week; this post from The Kitchn has me loving the idea of the single-veg meal. The jerusalem artichokes will likely become soup, perfect for dinner with a green salad and a chunk of homemade bread.
Lastly, the pink flowers are just for fun, to brighten up my kitchen table or a corner in the living room. Whats brightening your days this week? Any cooking plans youd like to share?

I like the combination of the different greens and pinks. Us girls are suppose to like pink! My daughter had a period when all she would wear was pink! See you on BYW. Ingridx
This is practically an inspiration-wall color palette! Im a sucker for bright pink carnations, though. Its all so lovely.
Glad the veggie feast went well. Beautiful photo.
