Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
As always with a veg garden, there are times when you have such a glut of produce that you are trying to find ways to use things up rather than give it all away or worse, waste it. So today, with the crazy amount of tomatoes we’ve grown, we are […]
We realised today that we hadn’t shared this recipe with you guys and were astounded. It’s so easy to do and gives you not only a fantastic dinner but options for sandwiches and leftover meals too. The ham is cooked in the slow cooker so there is almost no work […]
Every so often now I catch myself making a comment about just about any yeast-based dough recipes and saying, “ach I can do that”. I say catch myself because as regular readers here will know, there was a time when making bread seemed like some sort of magical, dark art to me. […]
I have developed a bit of a thing for peanut butter this year, ok if I’m being absolutely honest, I’m a bit obsessed. I eat it on toast, on bagels, straight from the jar when Kate can’t see me… but it took me a bit to realise that there is […]
Everyone has one of those lists that they want to tick off, you know the ones I mean, the ones where you list all the things you want to do before you’re 30, 40, 50 etc. So when the garden gave me a massive glut of basil, it was a […]
I’ve been really enjoying little packets of flavoured seeds as a snack recently. A friend at work turned me onto them and they’ve become a go-to snack, however, all those little packets add up in cost and wasteful packaging so we thought we’d have a go at our own. Turned […]
As part of our healthier lifestyle thing, we notice an awful lot of “fashionable” things appear and disappear. Sometimes they are good and we add them to our repertoire and other times they are one of those pretend this is as good as the version you know cause you are […]
Kanelbullar, Kanelsnegl or plain old cinnamon buns. A tasty treat for a winter weekend I’ve always been a huge fan of what I call cinnamon swirls (kanelsnegl, in Danish they are called cinnamon snails), you know, the Danish pastry type treats where a mix of cinnamon, butter, and sugar is […]
Happy St Andrew’s day everyone. I thought in honour of the day of the Scottish patron saint (who is also the patron saint of loads of other places), I’d have a go at something a bit special, something from history… am I setting the scene? Are you excited? Parlies or Parliament […]
Hygge comfort returnsIt’s that time of year again, it’s cold, blooming freezing, and it’s dark most of the time. It’s really easy during the cold autumn and winter months to get a bit low or blue and pine away wishing for spring. So to combat that, over the past couple […]
and this is a glimpse into our life and garden on the east coast of Scotland where we enjoy growing fruit, veg and flowers and cooking indoors and outdoors. 🌱 Join us for fun gardening tips!
