In reality, I crave simple, wholesome foods and meals like yours. I don't know who I'm kidding, my husband has eaten the same thing for lunch at work every day for the past year and a half and can't imagine life any other way- turkey and cheese with mayo, a can of soda, peanut butter and crackers, and a granola bar. Same thing every day, can you imagine! And I think I have to make something impressive and new every night!!! Ha! Seeing your post made me realize how much I want and should throw complexity out the window. :) Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-40763622665225212762009-01-28T07:34:00.000+10:002009-01-28T07:34:00.000+10:00Yummy!

Tomatoes as well are a rich source of antioxidants, as is beetroot, garlic, black tea and berries. All eaten by us last week as well as potatoes, beans, carrots and celery (in the stew).<BR/><BR/>Ladybird, we eat a lot of soup in winter, in fact our favourite winter meal is either vegetable and barley soup or pea soup. I hope you enjoy your stew. :- )Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-59924449755834845472009-01-28T05:20:00.000+10:002009-01-28T05:20:00.000+10:00Lovely as ever.

However I notice that whilst you eat a garden salad (lettuce, tomatoes) just about every day you don't have much in the way of vegetables rich in antioxidants. Here in the UK we're constantly advised to eat our "5 a day" which is at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables. These should be rich in antioxidants e.g. the darker coloured fruit and veg. There is very little nourishment weight for weight in lettuce!<BR/>Paula in the UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-28135587065839556742009-01-28T04:01:00.000+10:002009-01-28T04:01:00.000+10:00Joanna, the only stupid question is the one that g...Joanna, the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.

Also (I know I sound dumb, but I always thought a parsnip & a turnip were the same thing (no, I've never eaten either!). Also, when you make the herb dumplings with the beef stew, do you cook the dumplings on top of the stew?JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540884978535488880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-84555427680316443022009-01-27T22:04:00.000+10:002009-01-27T22:04:00.000+10:00Rhonda, Your beef stew with dumplings looks wonder...Rhonda, Your beef stew with dumplings looks wonderful.
