Create with your hands
These cookies are a breeze to whip up, all you need is a spoon and bowl. My eldest regularly makes them all by herself, and only needs me to put them in and take them out of the oven. She loves them so much in fact, that she is already daydreaming about teaching her hypothetical children how to make them.
There isn’t anything special about knitting, it could just as well be crochet or sewing. The important thing is that children are taught to create something with their own hands, ideally something semi-useful. It gives them a sense of pride and confidence that is hard to get any other way.
Gravy is the queen of sauces, it simply makes everything better. Proper gravy should be comforting and give a luxurious feel while you eat it. Just like meat pies so to create a mince and gravy pie is the perfect marriage. So I created this pie to be enjoyed during those days where you want a good hearty meaty pie with plenty of gravy.
Nettles are your best friend. In times past, people believed that they purified the blood, got rid of rheumatism, helped with long and airway problems, and much more. It depends on the specific area of what type of other ailments people believed it cured, but they all believed that it was an all-round good herb. But people have now figured out that there is actually merit to some uses of nettle, namely hay fever.
My family’s absolute favourite pasta dish, this Bolognese sauce is easy to make in bulk. I love dishes that are easy to make in bulk because then you don’t have to cook the next day. It is quick to warm up while you’re cooking some pasta to go with it. Whether you serve it with spaghetti, tagliatelle, penne, or fusilli pasta, this Bolognese sauce will be a treat.
We all love plants and especially when we have a plant, or a friend has a plant that we like very much, we want a second. Then, what better way is there to get a second, then to take a plant cutting. Because when we take a cutting, you will be able to get a copy of the plant. As opposed to when you use that plant’s seed, which is that plants child and will be slightly different.
Want to be able to take your knitting outside with you? Then this knitting bag will be perfect for you. It has a single handle that you can throw over your arm, that way, you can even walk and knit.

Mead is the nectar of the gods, it is pure ambrosia, and it is just plain yummy. In all honesty, mead is a type of wine made with honey instead of grapes. And just like with wines, there are dry meads and sweet meads.
There are also quite often flavoured meads, like cherry, vanilla, elderflower, and everything in between. So don’t worry, there will be a mead for you whether you like it dry or sweet.
This homemade muesli is so simple to make and hardly takes any time at all. I made this sugar free oat muesli for my husband since he eats muesli for breakfast every day. He used to eat store-bought muesli, but since I made him this homemade muesli, he never wants store-bought again. He prefers his breakfast without any sugar, so this recipe is sugar free. Although when I have my muesli on Saturday morning, I add a small spoonful of sugar.
This past spring, the Coronavirus appeared out of seemingly nowhere, it all happened so quickly. Just 2 weeks before we planned our trip to see our family, lockdown happened. We didn’t worry too much about it because we thought that it would all be fixed in a matter of weeks, maybe 2 months tops. But it went completely differently.
