As much as I like to cook, I have noticed that I tend to avoid complicated recipes. A never-ending list of ingredients scares the shit out of me. I love a good challenge in the kitchen but most days I want to avoid the hassle. That’s why I love quick, simple, get to the point type of recipes. These types are made even better when they don’t break the bank and can be found (or should be) in your pantry, fridge or freezer. This is a great example. You can whip it up in minutes if you have a few eggs, some spinach (frozen will do), a couple of mushrooms and some shredded cheese. It’s filling, healthy and quick. Pop some tomatoes in the oven before you start and enjoy a good old hearty omelette.
Getting a big blackboard hung on the pantry wall is something I have wanted to do since we moved in. Using the veranda wall back in the flat was OK but I wanted the real thing and lots of pieces of chalk!I’ve been picking up chalk font ideas on Pinterest for ages and can’t wait to start putting them to good use. Like designing a big monthly calendar or even a weekly meal planner with scribbles of quick recipes and dessert ideas. Georgie has shown a massive interest in the big black board even though it probably has something to do with suddenly not being screamed at when he’s caught scribbling on the wall. Plus he gets to stand on a stool which is always a toddler favourite! So for now I’m letting Georgie take the stage.
It’s almost been a year since Georgie received his first motor vehicle. This tractor is his favourite toy, hands down. There are so many videos of him driving it all over the house, I decided it was time to make a compilation. This is a little boy and his tractor.
I love the sudden explosion of excitement that comes with a Friday. Today I’m feeling a little more excited than usual after spending a majority of the last two weeks indoors. I think it’s also because I finally have my strength back and can comfortably get back into my indoor-routines with Georgie. Organising, rearranging furniture, fixing things and cleaning, reading and being superheroes. This is what we do indoors. Cheers to good health.
