THESE DAYS



A special birthday lunch for the husband - crostini with white bean mash and salsa verde, prosciutto, parmigiano reggiano and cherry tomatoes, followed by tropical fruit salad with passionfruit + vanilla dressing
We always come home from the park with a flower picked by Everly
Crazy, wild hair
Serious face while trying to work the hose gun
A bucket head out-take from 6/52
Always barefoot
Latest favourite game - being pushed in the doll stroller up and down the house by Daddy
A quick Saturday night dinner - chicken baked with white wine, shallots and mushrooms
Summer is my favourite season for fruit - these raspberries didn't last long!

  4. A week full of deliciousness, your belly must be very happy :) How awesome is Everly's hair by the way?
    Also, that almond milk is so super simple. 1 cup alomds soaked overnight, whizzed up with 750ml of cooled, boiled water. Pour it through a sieve and there you have it. Plus, the leftover pulp can be dried out and there you have your own homemade almond meal. xx

    1. Yep, she sure has some pretty awesome hair that kid of mine! :)

      Thanks for the recipe lovely lady, I'm going to give it a whirl this week! Much cheaper than buying it, and we're going through loads of it in cooking lately.

    1. The chicken was delicious! The recipe is called Bill's Coq au Vin and it's from Bill Granger's Bill's Basics cookbook. This blog has the recipe almost exactly the same as the book - http://breadetbutter.wordpress.com/2011/02/25/bill-grangers-coq-au-vin/, except they used drumsticks instead of a whole chicken cut into parts. I prefer using the whole chicken. Happy cooking, and thanks for stopping by! :)

  14. I love how your food shots always look so appealing. That's a skill! I would eat bowls of that white bean mash...Everly is such a character. I think Sassy would adore her...I remember you writing once ages ago that she is quite an active little thing - is that still the case? Sassy is getting busier by the day! I can't see her slowing down....x

    1. Thank you so much lovely! The white bean mash was delicious, especially with the salsa verde! We ate leftovers of it for days. I think Sassy and Everly would love each other's company, it's such a shame we live so far away! Yes, Everly is very active - she keeps me on my toes 24/7! Sassy certainly looks like she has some fire in her belly ;) I look forward to seeing her grow. x
