2025/08/06

Today we're going to talk about a particular theme for a date night in our family. With our five children, we love to have times where we eat together and have special meals, and we also love to have a date night every week for my hubby and I. The kids know about it; they have their own special meal beforehand, and then they're upstairs early. We like to go out for it when we can - usually we do that on one night out of four.

That delectable flaky butter-filled pastry! Today we’re going to be talking about puff pastry. Puff pastry is that flaky light, airy pastry which is made by folding and rolling dough with lots of layers. The butter is folded in, and then it’s folded in half again and rolled with a rolling pin.

2025/07/23

It can be such an amazing experience to go to a restaurant. We recently went out for a date night meal. We don't often have our date night out - usually we have it at home; we get takeout or we make something ourselves, and we do it slowly and relaxed. But every now and then, it's so great to go to a restaurant, and when we do, we want to go to a fancy one, not just an ordinary one. That's what we did. It was at this big, beautiful hotel. From the moment you walked in, the decor was just gorgeous

2025/07/15

Today we’re going to be talking about picnics and picnic food. It's such fun to eat outdoors if we're prepared and organized in advance. One of the great things about it is that it's easier to clean up. There's fewer dishes, and it somehow helps you to let go of things a bit. As busy moms, we've always got so much going through our brains, and so many little things that need doing at any given moment, and I really find that sitting in my camping chair outside and eating out there helps me to just

Today we're going to talk about one of my favorite foods in the world. Whenever people ask me what's the food that I could eat over and over, if I could just choose one food, that would be artichokes; fresh, whole, steamed artichokes with a feta dip. I love to take the whole green artichoke, cut off the top of the leaves where it's spiky, cut off a little bit of the stem, and then put them with the stem down in my steamer. They steam for about 45 minutes, and then they're beautifully soft. Then you
