Easy dinners: chicken tacos
On the days I work, it can be difficult to get dinner on the table at a reasonable hour, especially when I often get home after 4:30. We eat dinner pretty early in our house. By 5pm Elora is making dinner requests, so we really need to be preparing dinner before then, feeding her little […]
I made zucchini soup
I made soup today. Zucchini soup. It was good. So tasty and hot. We ate it for lunch today, despite it being the middle of summer. Georgia has been asking for zucchini soup ever since our first zucchini appeared on the vine. We have so many zucchinis now. Speaking of summer, our summer here has […]
Easy peasy creamy tuna and veggie pasta bake
I’m sharing this recipe with you because my children enjoyed it so much that they began singing about how awesome I am and what a great chef I am. Although it is not original by any stretch of the imagination, and it is neither complicated nor time-consuming, it is a good hearty meal that children […]
Carrot and zucchini muffin bars
Ooooh I do believe I have found a new go-to sweet. This is so delicious. It is sweet, moist, tasty and it has vegetables in it so it is reasonably healthy! I love finding new ways to use those zucchinis. I love our homegrown zucchinis, did you know? The ginger and honey flavour of these […]

For a few years now Monte and I have been using cooked, shredded cabbage instead of pasta. This evening I tried grated zucchini instead of pasta! The children asked for pasta […]
Hash brown crust quiche

I recently saw this pin on Pinterest. Hash brown crusted quiche! With my penchant for using frozen pastry for my quiches, I […]
Spinach and bacon quiche
Two simple things that bring me joy are: harvesting food from my garden and using it to make a delicious and nourishing meal for my family. I picked some vegetables today. I picked lettuce, beetroot, zucchinis, spinach (perennial spinach) and spring onions. We ate most of the vegetables in salads but I decided to make […]
Lettuce
Lettuce is a big part of our diet. We grow lettuce in the garden. We put it in our salads, along with other fresh goodies. I love to go out to the garden and pick stuff to eat. I can breathe deeper out in the garden. I like to check on the growth of the […]
