A very good morning steemit family! Yesterday was our first tryout of the bakery and the monthly flea market here in Kep! Before we even had time to unpack our goods, most of it was gone. It seems people have been waiting for whole wheat bread, multi-grain bread and rye with walnuts.

People and the three of us are getting really excited. Though it will take a few more months before we can open the coffee shop and health cafe, we are getting our first orders in for deliveries of bread, hamburger buns, etc.

Next Tuesday we start for real. During the weekend we are going to have a chat with most of the business owners in town to see what they are interested in.

With our first tryout being a huge success, the stress has faded away. But before we dive into our new adventure, we are taking a day off to go to the island which is a small boat trip away (only 20-30 min from our house).

But first things first, Khmer language class and a steemit share of one of my favorite lunch salads.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER CHICKPEA SALAD WITH TURMERIC MAPLE DRESSING

#MakeItHealthy tip!

Ever since my hubby got diagnosed with MS we have been on a mission to improve our diet. Green smoothies where the first step, followed by eliminating as much processed foods from our diet. Chickpea cans were among the first canned items to go.

Many of us buy canned chickpeas because of the long soaking and cooking times. But did you know that you could soak and cook a big batch and freeze them for later use? Click here for more info (I also added a quick cooking method in case you forgot to soak the chickpeas overnight).
