Monday Morning Photo - Boca do Inferno, Hell´s Mouth, Portugal

On the west coast on Portugal in Cascais, not far from Lisbon is Boca do Inferno - Hell´s Mouth a rugged and dramatic sea-worn opening. Further up the coast a little is the not quite so picturesque Cabo de Roca, Europe´s most westerly point. Boca do Inferno, Cascais Taken on a blustery winter´s day on our recent Portuguese road trip. Read about our last (and first) trip to Portugal - Road Trip - Andalucia to Extremadura to Portugal and Back. See the Monday Morning Photo´s list.

Eat Less Meat - Eat for Elephants Plant-based Cookbook

Since moving to Andalucia we added pulses to our diet but I have to admit not as often as we should and certainly not lately. Hubby is doing more cooking these days due to my working hours, so I try to plan easy meals for him to prepare. With prices rising and five of us to feed, again, for most main meals - which is midday here, I´m trying to add pulses to our menu more often.

When I came across the Eat for Elephants cookbook, a downloadable pdf full of plant-based recipes, for which all the profits go to support rescue elephants I thought 5 GBPs for some interesting meat-free ideas, that hubby, who an engineer by training, could follow, would spice up our lunches. He´s not happy with my vague guestimate measurements. So, hopefully he can measure away to his heart´s content, follow recipes step by step and provide some more interesting meals than we´ve had lately (yes, I have told him, how boring the stew was, could do with some flavour etc.)



So I´m hoping my idea of less meat, more plant-based meals (not telling the meat-loving sons) will be a great experiment, will save the well-spent 5 GBPs (sorry I can´t find the pound sign on my Spanish keyboard) while helping elephants too.

Some feedback on recipes will follow!
