Plastic-free July just ended. I don’t do anything special in the month as it feels a bit false for me. No idea why that is...I am an odd duck so it is just me.

Still wasn't a big fan and stopped trying to Katie's chagrin. I only decided to have another go because I was making… Continue reading Cornbread

Who doesn’t love spaghetti covered in tomato-y goodness? I know I do. In fact this was the meal my daughter specifically asked me to make this week so it must be good. I have been known to buy sauces but they are never quite right and I always need to buy several jars to feed… Continue reading Pasta Sauce
