Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’m not gluten free by any stretch of the imagination – I will quite readily polish off cake after cake and eat anything that’s in front of me, especially from time to time when I have a proper pig out! However, during a normal day I have been trying to cut down on gluten a little bit....
After a weekend of camping, the wet weather that we had endured on Sunday followed us north and treated us to another wet day on Monday. Anna had the day off, Morgan was off school So I took the day off as well. After some chores we had a breakfast of toast smothered in delicious...
Following on from my post yesterday about letting my diet slip a little, this doesn’t really help matters! It’s a banana and chocolate cake that I baked yesterday to use up some bananas that we had left over from the Scout camp. Trouble is it only actually used 2 bananas which is fine, but the...
On the way to Devils Bridge on Sunday Morgan informed me that it was National Baking Day, (in fact I think it is National Baking Week), so once we got back from Devils Bridge in the afternoon there was nothing for it but to do some baking… I know, I know, we should of had plenty of...
Mmm, Chocolate Brownies for breakfast today!! Anna asked me to make some Baklava Muffins for her to take to work on Tuesday but I decided to bake some brownies instead. Of course, having baked them we had to try them before giving them out to her work colleagues and they were perfect. Crispy on top with...
There must be something wrong with Morgan – he didn’t want the cake mixture scrapings from the mixing bowl!! Not to worry, more for me. His tune soon changed once he got to smell the date cake cooking though and I’m not surprised as you’ve never smelt anything so nice. I’m salivating too whilst waiting...
As promised, here’s the recipe I used for the Apple and Lime Raita that we had with our Banana Curry the other evening. It’s very easy to make, was a nice refreshing, crisp accompaniment to the curry and I think it’ll work well as an exotic salad / coleslaw with barbeques and such like. We...
Now that was a delicious dinner! With little work on at the moment I’ve become a bit of a house-husband so I’m doing my best to rustle up some new and different dishes for dinner. So, today after a quick run (3x 3 minute hill reps) doing the house-husband chores that I do each day...
Yep, these little beauties were pretty nice! They are evil though as each little square which is barely more than a mouthful has somewhere in the region of 150 calories. Trouble is they are just far too easy to pop in your mouth. It’s not surprising that they are so calorific mind you as the...
Who’d would have thought it, after a solid twelve hours under wall to wall sunshine in the garden yesterday, there were some snow flurries on my run this morning! It was pretty chilly out there running around the hills behind Machynlleth but I managed to cover 9 miles up and over a pretty big hill....
