June 18, 2019. I’m back. I’ve decided to give my blog a facelift and start writing again. Now that I’ve worked out how to log in (it has been a while), I’ll leave you with this post, which I wrote on January 18, 2016, and left in draft mode for over two years. I don’t know where […]

Fangorn Farm Christmas Cake
I love making Christmas cakes. This year I have been about 6-8 weeks behind schedule in my Christmas cake making. Usually I like to make them in the spring school holidays but I am going to blame the fatigue and sickness associated with my pregnancy for my Christmas cake making delay. I made two cakes […]

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 […]

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
hash brown crust quiche I am a big fan of Martha Stewart, and when my friends have jokingly called me ‘Martha’ because of something I have said or done, I am not-so-secretly chuffed. I recently saw this pin on Pinterest. Hash brown crusted quiche! With my penchant for using frozen pastry for my quiches, I […]

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 […]

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 […]
