A few weeks ago I tried this recipe for dinner. It was delicious… well I thought it was delicious. The Father Figure also thought it was delicious and so one child. The other three however, refused to try more than a single mouthful. I may have lost my mind at that point… just a little […]
Adventures with Turnips – Meat and Veggie Pasties
Sometime around the middle of last year Morgan stopped me in the fruit and veg shop and pointed to a round, white and purple, veggie and asked “What’s that??” I am ashamed to admit that I had to read the label to answer his question. I hadn’t had much to do with turnips up until […]
Green Burgers – Easy Felafel Style Veggie Burgers
I have one child who doesn’t eat sausages. She used to eat sausages when she was very little but at around three years of age she declared this kid friendly, cheap and easy meal option off limits and has never let a sausage, however humble or fancy, pass her lips since that day. She is […]

Maybe it’s because it freezes well, or maybe it’s because it is so easy to cook, or perhaps it’s just because our three little hens are producing so many eggs… but whatever the reason I am having a renewed love affair with quiche. With one basic, crust-less, quiche recipe I can make endless varieties of […]
