I love green melon or honeydew melon and also the orange melon@called spanspek.
Two sweet melon that are now in season, that are refreshing in summer days.
Finding the perfect melon is not always easy and kind of a hit and miss, unless you use these tips:
1.Outer skin should not be smooth but feel tacky or waxy.
2.If there are bruises it does not usually mean the melon is over ripe or damaged. Often it is an indication of ripeness.
3.Yellow by the blossom end is another sign of ripeness
4.Press gently at the blossom end. It should give slightly.
5.Smell the blossom end and you should smell a sweet smell or flowery smell.
6.And finally if you hold it in your hands it should feel heavy. This is an indication of juiciness.
Enjoy😊

Date and cashew bars are so good, and gluten and dairy free as a bonus.
I am still on my diet because I am not sure how to proceed with the reintroduction 😂
I tried cheese but my stomach decided to cramp really bad and it also bloated, so I stopped that quickly.
I haven’t added anything else at the moment because I want to wait and settle my stomach again before I introduce a new one.
So this was a great snack that is also healthy.

Spiced veg casserole (dairy free)

This is an easy dinner to put together with whatever vegetables you have on hand that are either left over or not. I bought a pack of cubed butternut, pumpkin and sweet potato and used half in this dish and the other half in the lamb stew for the meat eaters of the family.
