I remembered the other day that when I was a little girl my Mother would boil an egg and mash it on toast for me for breakfast. I seemed to enjoy this a child but have not had it in years….until I made this for breakfast today…..a grown up variation that has fresh chives and capers. […]
My Mum gave the girls a set of very cute Easter themed cookie cutters. Here are two of the Bunnies from the set. The ‘Mummy Bunny and the Baby Bunny’ as Maya refers to them. Keep and eye out to see what we are going to do with them….you just never know…..I am sure to […]
