bites/favorites

 Spring is finally here and I'm so excited.  The sun is out and it's warm and the other night after dinner we sat in the backyard and I finished my book  (and cried silently) and listened to the birds sing and the kids fight (one sound was better than the other) and I am looking forward to spending lots of time back there this season.

I made this No bake peanut butter cornflake tiffin for a Sunday dessert.  I was running out of chocolate for the topping and the bar part wasn't quite set when I tried to smear the chocolate over the top so it looked awful, but tasted lovely.

We are also back into energy bites and this was a recent winner - Oatmeal Cookie energy balls.

Pretty clouds

I bought these containers to keep fruits and veggies handy for snacks and dinner.  They really do help.  I'd love to buy more, but we have so many bottles of condiments and sauces in the fridge there's hardly room for leftovers, much less plastic bins.

I wanted to share the recipe for these Vrasciole - Italian Fried Meatballs - but the recipe was taken down.  Too bad.  They were really really good.

 It might be a basic bitch, but MacArthur Island Park is one of my favorite walks.


We've made these burger tacos from Tick Tok multiple times over the last couple of months, including a breakfast version with sausage and eggs.  So freaking delicious!

Season your meat, press a small-ish amount onto a tortilla, fry until done and add your toppings.

Brilliant.



I bought The Mister this garden for his birthday, and it's pretty fun!  So far we've only had one plant not sprout and have had lettuce and herbs to add to our meals.  




Treat yourself!
