Granola
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 […]
Bread
Out of laziness, I made bread. I couldn’t be bothered leaving the house in the wind/rain/sleet/snow to go to the shops just for a loaf of (probably stale) bread. It was so good, I keep making it! It’s so easy and so very, very tasty! You don’t need a breadmaker (ours is broken anyway) and […]
Being in the garden
colourful food It was about 6:00 in the evening. Monte was out at a meeting. The children had been fed and bathed and there was still time before bed, so they asked if we could go outside. The weather was beautiful and mild. I thought it was a great idea. We let the chickens out […]
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 […]
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 […]
Trying something new
I’ve seen a lot of pins on Pinterest (why are so many of my sentences beginning like this these days?) about alternatives to pasta. 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 […]
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 […]
