Foraging (or collecting edible weeds)
Have you ever gone to your local park, forest or garden to collect edible weeds? My kids and I love to go out and pick our dinner in 'the wild'. It's fun, and I think it teaches them something about food and nature. Also, it motivates them to help prepare dinner (and eat it). We've been making ...

Quiche on my mind...
It's spring, and my mind is set on quiche. I'm not exactly sure why -- is it the combination of the flaky puff pastry crust with the creamy filling and the salty cheese melted on top? Is it the fact that it is so easy to prepare? Or is it just because it's the perfect dish ...

Introducing solids and a few of Wilkie's favourite meals
When Easton was a baby and it came time to introduce solids, I took it all quite seriously and truthfully found it a bit stressful. I had been told I had to wait until six months to start, so we waited until the day he turned six months old. I had also read somewhere that ...

I Love a good beet salad. Peel, chop & roast until tender. Then toss with goat cheese, fresh thyme, balsamic vinegar and season with salt & pepper. Yum!
My kids love beetroot dip – 2 large red beetroots and half a clove of garlic oven roasted until tender, leave to cool, then mix in a blender. add half a cup of natural greek yogurt and a large tablespoon of cream cheese season to taste. yum!
Going to try these, sounds YUM!! Thank you! xxx

A beetcake???? AWESOME!!! Thank you for the inspiration!! xxx
The simplest flavours are often the best. We make thick slices of perfectly cooked beets, spread them out in an oven dish, and top with slices of good chevre. Into the oven until the cheese is melted and golden. Delicious!
Do you cook the beets in the oven or in water on the stove??
