Homegrown – and another quiche recipe
Elora and I went out to the vegetable garden after taking Georgie and Matthew to school. We looked at how the veges are faring. Some of our Asian and lettuce mixes have either died or been taken by birds and instead of about 60 green plants we have about 30. Something has pecked off the […]
Salmon patties
We went out for a picnic tea with some friends earlier in the week. I made a quiche and some salmon patties, and took some sliced vegetables and chocolate cake as well. I love picnics! I love preparing the food and getting a picnic basket and packing it with goodies. On the way to the […]
Slumber party cake
To celebrate her recent birthday, Georgia had a few friends over for a slumber party on Friday. The girls came to our house after school. Having the sleepover on a Friday was a great idea because the girls then had the whole weekend to recover. We set the pick up time at around 10:00am. The […]
Kid friendly meatballs
There’s not much that’s not kid friendly about meatballs, but Matthew and Elora can be fussy with their food most of the time. We eat very healthy dinners, and healthy dinners don’t always appeal to small children, for some reason. They seem to like chips and sausages and easy food like that. I find it […]
Butterscotch Pudding
In the earlier years of our relationship, I would frequently visit Monte’s house. I’ve always been a bit besotted with Montague. My grandmothers always told me that fellas like a bit of good cooking, so I collected quite a few recipes before I got hitched to the love of my life. Yesterday I rummaged through […]
Carrot and walnut muffins
I sometimes make these without walnuts because the children go to nut-free school and Childcare, but occasionally it is nice to make this version; it’s a bit more speccy. Ingredients ::1 cup grated carrot ::1/2 cup chopped walnuts ::2 cups wholemeal SRF ::1 cup brown sugar ::1/2 cup golden syrup ::2 eggs ::1 cup milk […]
Spinach and feta quiche
I tell you, having chickens is wonderful! They eat our food scraps and lay eggs for us. We have been eating quiche and custards lately (I will post a recipe for some custards soon). Not so great for our waistlines, but delicious nonetheless. Tonight I made a spinach and feta quiche. It was so delicious; […]
Picnic (and a quiche recipe)
I made a quiche with the eggs our hens laid. Delicious! My recipe is at the end of this post. We headed down to Catamaran, which is near Cockle Creek, which is near ‘The End of the World.’ We went to a very pretty, secluded bay. The area is a popular camping ground but the […]
