Choc Mint Weetbix Slice

Meg has really been enjoying cooking independently these holidays. Banana cakes and slices are her specialty. We are loving that she wants to cook too, because it means that there are snacks for the kids (and us) when they are hungry, plus we don’t have to cook either. She is double excited to cook if we are going to take her cooking somewhere such as church. You can see the pride radiating from her.

One of the recipes she has introduced us to is the Choc Weetbix slice. I’m not sure where the recipe comes from. It’s on a printed bit of paper stuck into the exercise book where we keep recipes we like. It’s faded and got spots of food all over it. A sure sign of a good recipe.

The other great thing about this recipe is that it is made entirely with pantry ingredients and foods we normally have on hand. At the end of the month, when cream, and other items are getting low, we usually still have the ingredients for this one.

    I think we had a similar recipe to these when I was a kid. They were so delicious and it was so hard not to eat all of them. Great that Meg takes pride in her cooking, I was the same when I was young and still to this day I love cooking for people.

    Thanks Jo. The slice was amazing. And Alex loved that he could do it all himself. Will become a regular I think.

    Thank you for your gorgeous photos. Shearing was always a winter time job in NW Qld so I forever associate shearing with the cold. As small children we loved the shed, as older children not so much as we were put to work! Mostly yarding sheep, keeping the pens full and counting shorn sheep although we all did our stints as rouseabouts and pressers. We had much bigger shearing teams, up to a dozen shearers, mostly made up of my cousins because that's what you did when you left school and didn't want to work for your Dad.

We’re getting to the end of the summer break 😭. The kids have been staying up late, sleeping in, swimming and kayaking on the dam, reading and watching movies, and giving the LEGO a good run. I’ve been reading, sorting out things (it’s what I do in January), binge watching Netflix, and cooking. In the evenings I go for a walk and always arrive back to this view as the sun is setting. Also, I haven’t taken down the Christmas lights yet, and I probably won’t for a while longer because they are so pretty. Not ready for summer to end!

I even pulled everything out on the bathroom vanity and gave it a purge and deep clean. I have no idea how half the stuff got there 🤷‍♀️. For me January is a time to reset the house, de clutter and get sorted. Something about a new year perhaps? 🤔
Anyhow, here’s a pic of my freshly decobwebbed (totally a word) window  which makes me happy- just don’t look too closely!

The mulberry tree has begun to fruit so I whipped up this mulberry yoghurt cake. It’s delicious and easy. The mulberries go all jammy and the cake is soft and not too sweet. Perfect comfort food with a hot drink when it feels like the world has gone mad.
