Cocooning...

It's not often that we spend a weekend entirely at home just pottering around, cooking, clearing the garden and doing a few jobs. Last weekend (apart from the weekly food shop) that is exactly what happened and what a difference it makes!

The week goes by so quickly with school/creche and after school activities, work schedules and preparing for the next day that we rarely get the chance to do those little things... but it can actually be a lot of fun to spend time on more mundane things!!

I loved repairing the holes in my four year olds jeans....

My partner maintained all our bikes and I can really feel the difference (thanks love!)...

The windows are clean...

There is soup made for the week, fresh tomato sauce in the fridge and the freezer, milk, biscuits, breakfast cakes, brown rice....

I tried two great new recipes: Spicy Lentil Dal and Seed Bread (gluten free)... to share with you!

The garden is clearer...

My desk is tidy....;-)

For me it was a cocooning time.... for you I hope you like the recipe results!
