Day 02- The meaning behind your Blog name

It's not really hard to guess the meaning behind my blog name. Keeping it nice and simple!

I am taking part in a recipe exchange and going to post all the recipes I get. Here is the first one I got from Erena which sounds yummy!

SUMMER PUDDING TOAST

4 punnets mixed berries (redcurrants, raspberries, blueberries)
125g sugar
250g strawberries, stems removed and halved
6 slices brioche

Pick over the punnets of fruit, removing  any stems or leaves. Put the berries in a saucepan with 60ml water and the sugar. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 8 minutes. Put the halved strawberries in a bowl and press the cooked fruit syrup through a sieve over the strawberries. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, then chill or leave overnight in the fridge. When ready to serve, toast the brioche and spoon the fruit syrup over each slice, arranging the strawberries over the top. Serve with a sprinkling of icing sugar, sugar-dusted mint leaves and thick double cream.

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books.
