Honey Spice Biscuits

One of the things I love about having primary aged children, is that they are so much more independent than littlies. It is truly amazing being able to hop in the car without having to do up multiple seat belts, and I even occasionally (not always) get to go to the toilet without interruption (now I’m just showing off). Another thing I love doing is watching them master new skills and gain confidence when they can do things for themselves. Both Hannah and Meg love to cook snacks and simple meals now, and each time they present us with a new, freshly made recipe, I can see their pride in their achievements.

Just before Christmas, Hannah was looking through her Christmas cookbook, and announced that she was going to try and make these Honey Spice Biscuits. Being a melt and mix biscuit, they were super easy to make, and they also made very little washing up – always a win in my book. They tasted super delicious, so even though Christmas has finished for another year, we are going to be enjoying this recipe all year round.

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.
