It totally doesn’t count if the words are on the photo… and they are not my own… right?

My kids love a good colouring in session. Me? I’m not so keen on colouring in books. I’d rather see my kids drawing and creating freely, not constrained by the ideas or thick black lines of other people.

It’s zucchini season again. The time of the year where we try and find a way to eat a zucchini every day so we can keep up with the plants and not to let any grow to the size of base ball bats! It gets easier to accomplish each year as I find more and [...]

Family Food – Lentil-ese (Vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognese)

February 20, 2012
lentil spaghetti bolognese

Bolognaise? Or bolognese? Regardless of how you spell it, I am pretty sure this version isn’t anything like the good people of Bologna make. So technically I should call it something entirely different but ‘I can’t believe there’s not meat in it’ bolognaise is kinda a mouthful, so I’m sticking with ‘Lentil-ese’. The name sums [...]
