Stop-motion animation of our Summer holiday to Unst: An Island Above Them All
Coconut Chocolates (with secret mashed potato!)
When I was a very little girl in Canada I remember my grandmother reaching into her freezer and pulling out a container of her home made chocolates.
No Bake Summer Fruits Cheesecake
One of the fondest memories I have of my childhood in Cape Breton, on the East coast of Canada, is that of berry picking. In the summertime there were so many varieties of wild berry to choose from. Wild blueberries were my favourite; they were tiny and bursting with flavour. It also took absolutely forever …
Red Kidney Bean Burger Recipe
I’m a big fan of veggie bean burgers. Not the shop bought ones though, I don’t know what they do to those to make them taste so awful, but nothing beats a good home made veggie burger except
Kohlrabi & Apple Salad
We’ve just recently received our very first delivery of an organic vegetable box from Transition Turriefield, a Community Interest Company based on the west side of Shetland.
Mini Rhubarb Cheesecake Pots
There are some times when cheesecake is required. Do you ever get those late night cravings sitting on the couch with a good book (Kindle) and you just want cheesecake and you want it now? This mini cheesecake pot recipe was borne out of those moments.
Fruity Surprise Ice Lollies
There’s nothing better than an ice cold ice lolly on a hot summer’s day, wouldn’t you agree? But have you had a look at the ingredients lists on commercially prepared lollies? Sugar, refined sugar, and more sugar!
Green Tea & Shetland Seaweed Ice Cream
“With each mouthful there is a definite taste of Shetland sea air, it is like tasting the wonderful cleanliness of the Shetland coastline as it reaches the lungs. Amazing!!” Jane, taste-tester I have to admit it, yes, this is one of my more unusual creations. I feel the need to say I am not in …
Unst: An Island Above Them All
Great Britain is in the grip of a heatwave. With temperatures on the mainland soaring to over 30 degrees Celsius, Shetlanders (well, my friends, anyway) are flocking south in their droves to soak up some summer rays. Our family, on the other hand, hid from the sun and travelled north for our summer holiday to the …

Brandied Cherry Ice Cream
Recently while making a Black Forest Birthday Cake for my significant other I learned a few things.
Black Forest Cake
This week saw another birthday celebration in Elizabeth’s Kitchen. I wanted to make something a little extra special for my significant other
Camp Aite Breagh Chocolate Chip Cookies
Just imagine you are ten years old. You wake up in the morning and unzip your sleeping bag. The sun is streaming through the window and you can hear birds chirping outside.
Applique Flower Pillow Project
The school holidays started this week and the weather, especially this morning, has been dreadful. It’s been grey and dreary and this morning it was pouring down with rain. The children need entertained!
Picnic/BBQ Bread
It’s that time of year again (if we’re really lucky!) – it’s picnic and barbecue time!
Canada Day Cake
July 1st is Canada Day; a perfect excuse to make a cake don’t you think?
Skoki Health Bread (and that time I was lassoed)
The burnt bread pictured above is the result of this month’s Random Recipes #29 food blogging challenge.
Potato Croquettes
My regular readers may recall me saying on a previous bread post that I’m in a bread phase right now. I’m making and enjoying all sorts of different breads recently and this often forms the main carbohydrate component of a meal.
Upcycled T-Shirt Lunchbag
My friend Julia over at Jaydee’s Ramblings is super clever. She makes all sorts of things out of recycled materials
Rustic French Bread
I go through bread phases. Sometimes I can’t get enough of it and then I go months before I make it again. I’m in a bread phase right now and I’m making (and blogging!) a lot of bread. Fresh bread straight from the oven can’t be beat.
