Tahini toasts with hemp and blueberries smoothie - a healthy snack

    The last days of 2014 are becoming increasingly distant but its memories   persist vivid in my mind. 

It is so good to break routine, to visit places that we don’t know or haven’t visit for a while, to find other environments, different rhythms and especially to taste other flavors...

  If on one hand all the pervasive atmosphere of the places where I was is clear in my memory with different flavors, on the other, it reinforced the desire to return to my kitchen and to my comfort food!

   Last weekend was spent in a kind of  "sleep mode", at home, listening to the rain and to some relaxing music. We had a wonderful leisure time, joking, telling stories around the table, and particularly tasting some appetizing food: I put together some of the ingredients I most appreciate: blueberries and tahini!

      Someone once told me that whoever gets lost for a good chocolate, also gets lost for a good portion of tahini ... I don’t know if you share the same opinion or not, but, for me, these two flavors are perfect! I confess that my days would be much more gray without chocolate and a good portion of tahini!

     Spreading a whole wheat bread with this sesame paste which has been seasoned with soy sauce and lemon, garnishing the bread with tomato slices and having a hemp and blueberries smoothie, is one way of finding irresistible arguments to enlarge the pleasure to stay at the table with the family and / or friends and forget time ...
