WELCOME
I have started this blog so friends, family and all of mankind can enjoy my passion for all of the things that make me happy ... mostly food!
I am always trying new recipes and I enjoy nothing more than cooking wholesome, healthy food and want to share my own recipes, and other favourites, so that you can enjoy them too.
I like to give my family a preservative and additive free diet, free from any processed foods. I am lucky enough to live in an area where organic and locally grown fruit and vegetables are always available from our local co-op, local green grocers and farms.
Live, laugh, love, eat.

Banana Bread ...
I love the comfort of home with the children playing, the sight of the rain replensihing my gardens and the sound of the pitter patter on my tin roof ... it's perfect weather to create the sweet aroma of banana bread!
As you know, I always use organic products, but obviously you don't have to. I also use spelt flours and unrefined sugars, but these can be replaced with whatever you have in the pantry..
It's yummy with walnuts too..
INGREDIENTS
125 grams Organic Butter
125 grams Unrefined Dark Brown Sugar
2-3 mashed bananas
2 eggs
1 dash of vanilla
1 cup White Spelt Flour
1 cup Wholemeal Spelt Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons warm milk
1/2 teasoon bicarb soda
METHOD
Cream butter and sugar, add mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla ... then add flour (sifted if you can be bothered) and baking powder ... then dissolve the bicarb in the warm milk and add, mix slightly.
Pour into prepared loaf tin and cook in moderate oven (180) for around 45 minutes.
Slice and enjoy ... it's great for breakfast toasted with lashing of butter too.
