My Favorite Recipe





Today I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite recipes in the entire world, and no, that is not an over exaggeration! My Mum used to make this dish when we lived in England, and now it has become the meal I make every Christmas for Ry and I. It makes me feel all warm, homey and comfy cozy.

This recipe is...


Delicious
Warm
Comforting
Filling
Flavorful

Ingredients


5lbs russet potatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Savoy cabbage
Blue cheese
Marble cheddar and mozzarella
Smoked Gouda
Feta

First things first, wash and slice up your potatoes into 1/4 of an inch slices. If the skins are good on the potatoes you can leave them on. Put the potato slices into a big bowl (or two bowls if you don't have one that's big enough ), drizzle with olive oil (just enough to gently coat the potato slices), sprinkle with salt and cracked black pepper to taste, and put aside.

Slice entire medium sized savoy cabbage. Fill a large pot with 1/2 an inch of water, put on a medium heat, add the savoy cabbage, and place the pot lid on top. This will let the savoy cabbage steam and soften. I like to leave the savoy cabbage in the pot long enough till all the water evaporates and the edges of the sliced cabbage blacken a little. Stir every now and again. Once cooked, put aside.

Prepare the cheeses by grating the Gouda and marbled cheddar and mozzarella, and crumble the feta and blue cheese.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Grab one or maybe two large glass casserole dishes and start layering your ingredients beginning with potatoes, then cabbage, then the cheeses. Repeat this until all ingredients are used up. I always try to end with cheese on top this way it gets nice and bubbly.

Put the dishes into the oven for roughly an hour to an hour and a half. I usually check it every half an hour by taking a sharp knife and seeing if it will easily poke through the potatoes - if it does your dish is ready! Cooking times may vary depending on the type of oven you are using. This is what your dish should look like when it's all cooked.

This dish is my absolute favorite, and I get excited to cook and especially to eat it every year!

The End of Slow, The Beginning of Surrender

My third slow experiment is trotting along nicely, and I have come to the realization that these slow experiments are not really doing what I thought they would do. I thought these experiments would lead me to a deeper sense of peace and calm, a more present focus on the moment, a way to really embrace the simplicity of things, but instead I just feel restless and a knowing sense that the year of slow although only three months in is already coming to an end. Instead of being disappointed with this outcome, I'm choosing to be grateful. I'm grateful because everything happens for a reason and the three experiments I have done so far have led me to the realize that this may be the end of slow, but the beginning of something else: Surrender. I have been journaling a lot lately and I find myself often writing 'surrender, surrender, surrender'. Writing those words feels a whole lot like inhaling calm and peace and exhaling anxiety and stress. It is easy to think of ...

Getting Back Into Alignment

Alignment. That is the word my mind had been searching for, for weeks. Something had felt off, something didn't sit quite right, something felt a little out of place, something felt out of ... alignment . It is amazing how sometimes all it takes is for our minds to think of a single word and suddenly and all at once it allows us to see the truth of a situation. As soon as I found the word alignment something clicked into place; I had a light-bulb moment, and knew exactly why I had been feeling like I was in a funk of sorts: I was out of alignment with myself. For me being in alignment means having my thoughts and beliefs match up with my actions and how I live my life on a day to day basis, and somehow as if it crept up on me out of nowhere I was no longer in alignment with myself. As I began to think of all the ways my thoughts and beliefs didn't match up with what I was doing I understood why I had been carrying around this irritable and weird feeling in the pit of m...

21 Things You Can Do In Just 5 Minutes to Savor The 'Slow'

"I don't have enough time" "I wish each day had 48 hours instead of only 24" "I'm too busy" "I'm exhausted" We've all heard and probably used the above excuses for not getting more things done. Time is a commodity and there never seems to be enough of it. However truth be told time is usually not the issue but our inability to prioritize what is important that causes us stress and seemingly 'not enough time'. I have been a slow living enthusiast for a little over a year now. Slow living, to me, means having enough time to still stop and smell the roses. Enough time to appreciate the little things, and take part in the little things. Enough time to make my priorities a priority. Enough time to enjoy life instead of rushing through it. Enough time to savour the sweetness. But despite wanting to live a slower paced life, slow can sometimes still feel busy as Krista from A Life In Progress talks about in her pos...
