in the kitchen














This week it's no surprise my images reflect food, cooking and time spent in the Kitchen.  The kids and I really bunkered down this week and enjoyed preparing meals together, trying new foods and making loads of things from scratch...

::  Making bread rolls
::  Chopping up veggies for lunch
::  Fresh bread rolls straight from the oven
::  Wholemeal apple and sultana muffins
::  The fruit market - admiring all the colours, textures and having fun picking what we want
::  We came home with a great purchase of roma tomatoes for a spot of preserving*
::  Busy making our own laundry powder
::  A trip to Queen Vic Market
::  Pastry section always our first stop to fill empty tummies whilst we fill our trolley with fresh seafood.

what have you been up to this week?  And what's been cooking in your kitchen of late?

Joining in with Em at the Shack.

*which was a success so will no doubt require it's own blog post.

  2. How's the laundry powder? I keep reading about people making their own mixtures and them working just as well and am always intrigued! Gorgeous pics once again.

    1. I find it great Sonia! recipe I use is 4 cups soap flakes (lux) 2 cups borax and 2 cups washing soda (make sure it's washing soda) - mix it all up and add 2 tbsp per wash load. If you want a heavy duty powder add 1 cup of powdered oxygen bleach to that mix.

  9. I love your captures. The eggplants look amazing, your daughter is gorgeous: love the concentration on her face. I have been meaning to make laundry powder for EVER, but couldn't find the washing soda once and put it all on the back shelf. I really need to just do it!
    Your rolls and muffins are making my mouth water, and inspiring me to bake - I might do a similar muffin mix for the freezer in preparation for lunchboxes this year. I'm determined to fill them with homemade goodness more often than not this year, I got a bit lazy towards the end of last year!
    Enjoy your public holiday lovely, and have a wonderful week! xxx
