Thank you so much! So here we have m...Hi Billie Jo,<br />Thank you so much! So here we have morning and afternoon tea, which normally consists of a cup of tea or a hot drink and a little snack. It is usually a biscuit(cookie)or two, or a slice of cake, or a brownie, or a piece of fruit. I do lots of baking and the treats I make are for our morning and afternoon teas. Morning tea we have around 10.30am and afternoon tea is around 4pm. Hubby and I don't have it everyday but during the week the kids do. I think it is more of a throwback from when my kids went to school because at school they have a recess break for a morning tea snack which might be a muesli bar, cake and a piece of fruit and then a lunch break to eat their sandwich. After school the kids were always super hungry so I would make them something for afternoon tea. Even though we've been homeschooling a while it has stuck. In summer we might have a smoothie instead. I'm happy answer any questions! xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-40215886711453072812016-08-23T00:51:58.481-07:002016-08-23T00:51:58.481-07:00Dear Annabel,

I made a cheese and onion pie last night for dinner and added roses with the leftover pastry, the family sure loved it! xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-76265296583502686412016-08-23T00:49:19.410-07:002016-08-23T00:49:19.410-07:00Dear Meg,

Writing my frugal tasks each week helps keep me motivated. Kale, fetta and potato rolls sound delicious. Let me know how they turn out, I could use some more kale recipes as we have so much of it right now! It seems people either love it or hate it and most people I know hate it. Veg lasagna, mmm! I'll have to bake one during the week I think! I make one with kale and cauliflower and it is so yummy. xxMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535442579149449469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574030825306493581.post-58312009165075451792016-08-22T07:56:28.995-07:002016-08-22T07:56:28.995-07:00Hello there!

The custard tarts look delicious! I grow kale in my garden too and use it all the time. I found a recipe for kale, feta and potato rolls that I want to try out. I have spent morning making a big vegetable lasagna, using up veg from crisper and from my garden. I baked little gingerbread mini-muffins and a cereal slice on weekend for school lunchbox. It's lovely to bake things that help to save money.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573371198907761962noreply@blogger.com
