Eat the Color Back into Your Day.

A Sweetcorn and Avocado Wrap Recipe Full of Life and Comfort.

Some days move slowly.

The hours stretch out, soft and heavy, and even the simplest routines feel a little heavier in your hands. It was one of those days — a day made for staying tucked inside, keeping company with warm drinks, quiet thoughts, and gentle persistence.

Between small tasks — writing, reading, and tending to little pieces of life — the hours slipped by. Comfort came in fragments: a few chords played on a guitar, the rhythm of water running in the shower, the simple, satisfying act of folding clean laundry. Sometimes, it's these small movements that keep the spirit buoyant when the sky outside feels too heavy.

And at the end of it all, came the real moment of light: dinner.

A simple, vibrant plate — colorful, fresh, and full of life — exactly what the day needed.

Here’s what I made:

Fresh Sweetcorn with Avocado Pepper Wraps;

A fresh, nourishing meal that feels like a little celebration on a plate.

Ingredients:

-2 fresh sweetcorn cobs

-2 soft leaves of bread (flatbread, tortilla, or any flexible bread)

-1 ripe avocado

-1 bell pepper (any color), finely chopped

-A small piece of fresh ginger, grated (to taste)

-½ tablespoon lemon juice

-Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Boil the sweetcorn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently place the sweetcorn cobs into the water and cook for 7–10 minutes, until they’re tender and bright. Remove and set aside.

2. Prepare the avocado filling: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado until creamy. Stir in the finely chopped bell pepper, a little grated ginger, and the lemon juice. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until everything is well combined but still a little textured.

3. Assemble the wraps: Lay out the bread leaves. Spread the avocado mixture across each one, smoothing it to the edges. Roll them up gently or fold them like soft tacos.

4. Serve: Plate the warm sweetcorn alongside the fresh wraps. Eat while the corn is hot, the wraps cool and creamy, and the world feels just a little bit brighter.

Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for extra color and fragrance.

It’s a meal that doesn’t shout for attention, but instead speaks in soft, nourishing tones. The tender crunch of the sweetcorn, the creamy richness of avocado brightened by lemon and ginger, the playful bite of fresh bell pepper — each piece balancing the other perfectly.

Sitting down to this plate felt like a small victory. At the first bite, a burst of light shot through my body and I danced a little dance.

A reminder that even on the slowest, grayest days, it’s possible to create something beautiful and vibrant. It’s possible to nourish yourself in ways that go beyond hunger — ways that feed the heart just as much as the body.

Sometimes, we don’t need grand gestures or complicated recipes. Sometimes, we just need a few fresh ingredients, a little intention, and a willingness to sit with the simple goodness we’ve created.

This meal was a gentle hand on my shoulder.

A soft voice saying, “You’re doing just fine.”

And that was more than enough for today.
