| Egg fried rice |
Breakfast: Rolled oats with honey melon
Lunch: Egg fried rice
Dinner: Oat sourdough with sautéed bean sprouts, pickled herring
Baking/sweets: Lemon polenta cookies, lemon granita
The lemon polenta cookies were lemony and crunchy. Polenta adds nice flavor and texture. Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe since I did not measure anything. You can find polenta cookie recipes on my recipe site and simply add lemon juice and rind.
