road testing: cauliflower quiche recipe

As you know I like to try new recipes and share them with you.  This cauliflower quiche recipe from petite-kitchen (posted Monday the 5th August) is super healthy, quite adaptable and it can be made ahead of time.  I made my version below, however, photos by petite-kitchen are so much better. 





 

I definitely have my eye on some more recipes from petite-kitchen.

berrylicious smoothie recipe

It's hard to believe it is late winter as the weather is simply beautiful here.  There is so much colour surrounding us at this time of year.  Inspired by all the pink, purple and blue berry hues I decided to experiment and make a berry smoothie.  

Flutterbymama's Berrylicious Smoothie

1 cup low fat milk (approx.)
2 handfuls of fresh or frozen mixed berries
1 heaped tablespoon of yoghurt (low sugar)
1 heaped tablespoon of protein powder

Blitz the heck out of it.

Kitchen Note: This smoothie has a thick consistency. 

Enjoy!

Hello August...

Hello Dear Friends,
It has indeed been some time since my last post.  I haven't forgotten you and I should have dropped a line or two to let you know that life has just been busy.  The truth is for a while there I felt huge pressure to post every day because I didn't want to let you down.  I realised this was an unreasonable expectation I placed on myself and it was only just adding more stress to my days as a busy working wife and mum of three.  After my little one (above) caught a virus I just needed to focus on looking after him (he's better now) and as it seems...have a break from the online world. While in disconnection mode I realised I missed this space. I missed taking photos and I missed you.  I am really hoping be around a bit more. 

Thanks for so much for understanding and I will see you soon.

52 Weeks of Grateful: new cook book

 

We have been lucky this winter so far there have been no frosts, no fierce winds or downpours.  Our winter days involve slower mornings, easy lunches, afternoon naps and gathering together for dinner in the evening.  As darkness settles around 5:30pm our evening routine changes.  We have an early dinner, baths, quiet play in the toy room and then read stories before bed. 

5 things to do in July…

-   finish some sewing projects

-   invite friends over for a movie night with popcorn and hot chocolate  

-   have a warm cup of tea

-   visit a local market

-   book in some ‘you’ time
