Chez Josy

One of my latest finds in Brussels..

Well Boitsfort really

Chez Josy!

One day I ordered a butternut soup to go...

yeah, to go, to go to my car, had a sip and finished to whole thing right there! 

just left a tiny bit enough to fill one spoon so i could go home and re-taste and identify all the ingredients!

Couldn't figure it all out, and that soup had been playing on my mind, that after 3 weeks of wondering I picked up the phone and asked!

Filled with delicious butternut, carrots, almond milk, lemongrass,ginger and sooo much more

It is one of the best butternut soups I've tried.

And trust me this winter I had A LOT!!! ( remember Tuck Shop's)

Since that amazing butternut soup, every time I am in the neighborhood I make sure to step in, and order me the soup of the day!

It's like a mini bio health food store, but manly its a great lunch spot with delicious soups salads and veggie and fruit juices!

Ready set poach!

Quick recipe inspired by a London's favorite La Lantana

 It's Greek yogurt, granola made added nuts and seeds and poached plums...

Poached plums -or any fruit actually -101:

175gr caster sugar or use agave syrup

450gr plums (about 10), halved and stones removed

3 star anise or cardamon

( depending on how many u are for breakfast, change the amounts)

Place the sugar in a wide pan with 175ml of water and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Add the plum halves and star anise - or cardamon -  and leave to poach gently for 10-15 minutes until softened but still holding their shape.

Now assemble:
Granola + Greek yogurt + poached fruit + maple or agave syrup

Serve warm or cold at breakfast, lunch or dinner time or anywhere in between.

Some other things I must try to make a homemade version of...

Almond bircher muesli with cinnamon baked peaches
Warm poached fruit with greek yogurt and crushed pistachios

Happy sunday breakfast!

Breakfast's Best

If i am not having my a huge breakfast smoothie  - a recipe will follow-
, i'll most likely fill up on oatmeal or granola

Especially on weekends!

For me, there just something about weekends and a huge granola bowl.

I was always super intrigued by this Amaranth Crunchy -thing

especially because Amaranth is this protein energy powerhouse!
quinoa on speed...

Finally I gave in... don't understand why I saw this as 'caving into a craving' cause it is filled with everything that's good for you and not your typical - loaded with sugar -  cereal.

And now I understand why I never dared buying it!!
Its soooo delicious that it's soo dangerous!!!

At least it's a healthy craving, right?!

( Thats what I am telling myself as i am finishing the package...)

Other must go-to  granola's:

Ottolenghi's

Bakery on Main

Rude Health

Pain Quotidien even has Rawnola!

La Linda

If you saw our travel report on Belmodo  - if not click here - 

I was completely taken away by a restaurant / bakery / lunch and breakfast thing called La Linda.

Uruguay isn't next door, and that the chances of someone traveling all the way over there are quite small..

It is a travel tip I just had to share,

even if it is just to drool over the pictures and imagine that you are there!

I mean look at the place! It is absolutely gorgeous!!

To check and hopefully one day visit:

Celeste and Jesse's soundtrack forever!

The other day, I watched a great little movie.

 - Thank you Apple TV!! You know I love my gadgets!! -

With a terrible soundtrack. Terrible in a awesome way!

Here's one of the songs!

press play!

Tuck Shop

In Paris I kind of have my breakfast/ lunch/ dinner routine!

A bob's juice bar, followed by lunch at Merci, and then hopefully a burger a Coffee Parisien...

But now, I have this little problem called Tuck Shop

For breakfast they have this delicious pain sportive.

Toasted fruit and nut bread topped of with delicious almond butter.

And wake up with some hot vegetal milk with a delicious dandelion taste.

For lunch, 

no need to head to New York's Cafe Gitane anymore.

They have mastered avocado on toast with chilli flakes and lemon to a T.

If that's not gonna cut it for lunch, they have these seriously dangerous sandwiches and soups!!

Sweet cravings?

taking care of!

Just choose between all the freshly baked cakes, scones and cookies!

Think I will have to reorganize my whole Paris routine,

and hang around Canal St. Martin, Place de la Republique and Le Marais all day long!!

So I can go there for breakfast, a coffee at 11:00, lunch, a little something at 4 o'clock,...
