Great Tasty, healthy, heart friendly, vegan friendly, diabeties friendly, recipe. Polenta with Beans and Mango Salsa

Polenta topped with Beans. Mango salsa on the side. Garnished with coriander (celantro).

Here is a delicious, healthy, dish . It's easy to make, but takes a little time as there are 3 components to it. Worth the effort as any leftovers can be turned into an assortment of other dishes. This amount serves about 4-6 depending on how hungry you are! I make it for myself and eat it in an assortment of ways for the next couple of days, so it makes easy cooking for me after the initial recipe.

Firstly make your polenta, then your salsa as these need time. Then lastly cook your bean mix. As the bean mix is cooking, take your polenta out of the refrigerator, slice it and place onto baking paper lined slice tray and lightly brown in the oven; about 15mins at 180C. Place on serving plate, top with bean mix and garnish with coriander. Put a generous dollop of mango salsa on the side.

The beans and salsa are delicious in a wrap of any kind, i.e. tortilla's, with chopped fresh tomatoes and lettuce.

Also good in jacket potatoes.

Sure you will think of other uses for this recipe, it's very versatile.

Great Reading - Crime, Conspiracy, Action - "Mortal Insight" by E.B. James

Mortal Insight A brilliant novel. Draws you in, then keeps you in suspense. It brings you conspiracy, crime, action and asks the question: When your life is at stake, are some truths worth bringing out into the open? Detective Sergeant Steve Keller has begun to see things. He desperately hopes the visions mean something and not that he's going crazy. But the visions don't go away, and when they start meaning something more, Steve finds himself caught in an investigation way bigger than he ever imagined. As the pieces begin to fit together, something dangerous emerges. He can't hide what he knows, but to expose it doesn't just stir up controversy, it provokes someone who lurks in the shadows; someone who will kill to keep this information quiet. Great reading, didn't want to put it down when I first began to read it. When I picked it up the second time, well, I couldn't put it down until I finished it at 2.00am in the morning!!! Worth the lack o...

Great Storm to Watch - Over Tocumwal N.S.W. Australia - Mini Tornado

A mini Tornado struck Strathmerton on the weekend of October 31/10/15 destroying a couple of houses. Luckily no one was hurt. Just a bit further along the Murray River at Tocumwal the Tornado ended. We happened to be home and live near the edge of town, close to the river. We saw the sky turn pink, grey and green. Ominous. Can't remember a stormy grey sky turning pink or especially green before. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Then we heard this roar. Bernie looked at me as we stood on our back verandah watching the clouds flying about and said "What's that noise?" I replied, "Wind. Lots of it. I think we should go inside now." As I said this we saw the sky along the river turn green and pink and the trees begin to whip wildly. We retreated inside for a bit and as the roar died away we ventured back out to the front verandah as torrential rain began to fall. And boy did it rain!!! The early afternoon turned dark as the clouds above turned ...

Venice - city of water and glass

Whilst Venice was not the "romantic" city we were expecting, it was however very different. To walk the streets with no traffic, traffic lights, etc was most unusual and very nice. To move from place to place required a water taxi or similar, again unusual and very enjoyable. Venice has many endearing features not least of which (from a woman's viewpoint) are the many Venetian Glass Shops selling jewellery, light fittings, decorations, and much more made from Venetian Glass. Truly beautiful and astounding as to how it is done. HINT: look for the little shops out of the main area.....there cheaper. Needless to say the assorted women in my life are now wearing Venetian Glass jewellery! I enjoyed Venice!! My husband is not so sure how he feels!! He had to pay the bill!

Great Places To Visit.
