Hi all It’s been a while hasn’t it? Well today I have to share with you the deeeeeelishous spaghetti I made for tea last night. Every summer I hang out for enough tomatoes to make this. Some years I do well & get several ice cream containers full frozen to take me through winter. […]
Today I have a some loaves to share with you… The most devine was this Chocolate Banana loaf with frozen raspberries: Will DEFINITELY do that again. The recipe is here & I added about half a cup of frozen (unthawed) raspberries. My Chilean Guavas (aka New Zealand Cranberry) are ripe : so I decided to try […]
I take so many photographs to share with you all in blog land but I often don’t find the time to get here. Sorting my files, I came across these pictures of the biscuits my son & I made for my mother on mothers day &, although it was a couple of weeks ago, they […]
I just have to share this recipe with you. Its from the from the NZ Womans Weekly site. I saw our plums were all dropping & thought, what can I make? Did a quick google search (my recipe books are getting lonely) & this recipe attracted me with a small amount of butter & the […]
I have just whipped up a little pot of devine jam made with my two favourite things.. Peacherine & Raspberries. It seriously only took 10 minutes. I had just over a cup of fruit, microwaved it with a squeeze of lemon juice for 5 minutes, added 3/4 cup of sugar, microwaved again for 4 […]
This week I’ve been preserving our plum harvest. While I like to pick them fresh off the tree for eating, we had to harvest them all at once because the birds were having a lovely time eating & pecking holes in them & many were dropping. Its handy having the Silkie chooks in the orchard […]

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. It was a gorgeous day here in Nelson & we had a picnic lunch with family… as it seems many Nelsonians do these days. Certainly was busy at Rabbit Island. Although, I have to confess I missed setting the table with my traditional gold cloth, napkins, pretty candles […]
I just had to post about this yummy yummy loaf I made this morning. The recipe is on the NZ Womans Weekly site. I cut it while it was warm, because I simply couldnt wait, & it was so cake like. Now that it’s cooled it is just a lovely soft & moist loaf. Only […]
My sister has just sent me pictures of the delicious gourmet goodies she has been making with the cranberries she grows on their cranberry farm in Greymouth. You can find the recipes for these and lots more cranberry yummies on her website. Her farm is front page news in the June issue of Lifestyle Block magazine! I harvested my […]
We have had lots of rain here the last couple of weeks.. after many weeks of dry. In fact, as I sit here typing it is absolutely pouring down outside with thunder & lightening. Anyway, the rain has helped swell our feijoas nicely & today I made the most devine, light & moist muffins with them. Here’s the […]
