Pump Street Bakery Doughnuts

| September 30, 2013

On holiday last week Imogen had her first taste of a jam doughnut from the wonderful Pump Street Bakery in Orford. Taking a first bite…

Mmmmmm, delicious!

Yep, she loves it!

The next day Imogen asked if she could have a ‘coconut’ and then went on to say she couldn’t have one because it has nuts in it. We soon realised Imogen was talking about wanting another doughnut so Mummy and Daddy explained there are no nuts in a doughnut (or a coconut)!

I simply love discovering the world all over again with my two and a half year old!

Biona Organic Spelt Pasta with Spinach and Avocado

| September 29, 2013

I don’t like to eat too much wheat and try to keep it to only those times when I’m on the run and need to grab a quick sandwich. At home I buy Biona Organic Spelt Pastaand Biona Organic Rye Breadwhich Imogen and hubby both love, so we all enjoy the health benefits of eating spelt and less wheat. Spelt pasta is wholemeal and cooks in 5 minutes.

Last week I made Biona Organic Spelt Pastawith organic spinach and avocado. So simple. I just added a dash of pesto and a twist of ground pepper.

The finished product = wheat free, quick, healthy and delicious!

My local Waitrose supermarket stopped selling Biona products several months ago and I’ve since discovered Biona Organic Spelt Pasta and Biona Organic Rye Bread on Amazonwhich offers a subscribe and save deal as well as free postage.

What We’re Reading This Week

| September 28, 2013

Some of our favourite books at the moment are The Tiger Who Came to Teaby Judith Kerr, Choo Choo Clickety Clackby Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe and the lovely Tell Me the Day Backwardsby Albert Lamb.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea

The Tiger Who Came to Teais a lovely story of a girl and her Mummy who are having tea when the doorbell rings. Who could it be? A tiger! I love the pace of the story which keeps you wanting to turn each page and the classic illustrations are large and bright.

If your child has an interest in travelling and vehicles the brilliant Choo Choo Clickety Clackhas pages devoted to trains, aeroplanes, motorbikes, bicycles, cars, sailing boats, hot air balloons, ferry boats, racing cars, buses and cable cars. Each page is full of activity relating to the different modes of transport.

Tell Me the Day Backwardsis a delightful story of Mummy bear, Daddy bear and Baby bear as they tell the story of their day backwards before bedtime. As well as being a great way to encourage story telling with your children it also has a very calm tone and makes a perfect bed time story.
