Quite a Summer

I'm starting to blog a few recipes again... it has been a hectic summer to say the least. We spent 4 glorious weeks in South Africa visiting family, what an adventure!

I also took on the task of painting the interior of our home. This has kept me busier than I anticipated, but I'm loving it.

As the seasons begin to change I will be busier in my kitchen again, stay tuned : )
