Mango Fruit Platter
This is my favourite time of the year – the first days of summer when the nature is overflowing with wonderful flowers and crisp green leaves. Sending you some of today’s lovely sunshine, here in the shape of an all yellow fruit platter. Pineapple, orange and perfectly ripe mango. Happy weekend, friends! Read more »

Orange Side Salad
Making the most of the citrus season before it’s over! A mix of different oranges topped with fresh rosemary, chopped almonds and dried cranberries. This worked really well as a fruity side salad, and I loved the combination of citrus and rosemary. Read more »

Orange & Blueberry Fruit Platter
Thank you for all your kind and encouraging comments on my last post! This surely is an unusual time, and it’s taking its toll on all of us in different ways. A few days with sunshine and warmer temperatures, time at home with the kids and banana pancakes out on the front porch has given… Read more »

Grapefruit & Pear Fruit Platter
I made this fruit platter for my oldest son’s birthday last weekend. It was gone in minutes! We had it for breakfast, and I was reminded how fresh it is to start the day with lots of fruit before eating anything else. Definitely doing that more often! Details: Slices of apple and pear, orange, pink… Read more »

Orange Twisted Braid
Another sweet yeast bread. It’s so relaxing to knead the dough and see it rise. You can find the recipe for the dough in my cinnamon star bread a few posts back. Here I filled it with vegan butter, sugar, lots of orange zest and almond paste. It’s like marzipan, but less sweet, coarser in… Read more »

Saturday means time for a fruit platter! The kids are finally recovering for their terrible flu, and it’s great to see them eat with a little more appetite.

Mango & Blueberry Fruit Platter
We’ve had a horrible week, to be honest. All four kids have caught the flu, and we’re basically in survival mode. This fruit platter is one of few things that the kids have wanted to eat, except for ice cream. It’s simply mango, green apple slices, orange slices, blueberries and mint. I’ve been inspired by… Read more »

Red and Green Grape & Persimmon Fruit Platter
I really want to hold on to this habit of serving fruit to the kids instead of candy on Saturdays. They are getting more pick now that the novelty has worn off, but they still eat all their favourites. Apples, red and green grapes, persimmon, pomegranate arils, blueberries and orange slices were all very popular.… Read more »
