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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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)

Baking: muffins and date loaf (recipe)
It has been a little while since I baked, due to being sick and busy etc. This weekend, all my baking was performed with wholemeal flour and less sugar, to make everything healthier. I made blueberry muffins, without chocolate or nuts, so Elora can take them to Childcare. The children were eager to taste these […]
Roasted Cabbage
I know. It’s hard to believe we are having this conversation. Roasted cabbage? I saw a recipe for roasted cabbage on Pinterest. I can’t remember the exact original recipe, but I liked the idea of roasting cabbage. The easiest meals to cook are the ones that you can prepare, shove in the oven or on […]
