Easy, Yummy toasted muesli.

Here is my recipe for the best muesli ever!!!!!. Its super easy to make and you can put in what ever you like, I normally just chuck all the ingredients into the roasting dish and don't really measure, but I will give you some rough guide lines.

What you will need:

Roasting dish

500gms Oats (I use a mixture of the uncut wholegrain oats and "porridge" oats)

1 cup Coconut

1/2 cup chopped  nuts (these are just peanuts)

1/4 cup Sunflower seeds

1/2 cup Almonds

1/4 cup Pumpkin seeds

1/4 cup Sesame seed

1/2 cup Honey

2 large T Peanut butter, or other type of "butter"

1/4 cup Vegetable oil

Brown sugar (optional)

Dried fruit..... cranberry's, raisins, goji berries etc

Again these are all estimate, go by what you like and what you have on hand I  normally like more coconut but we were low.  

---------HOW TO----------

Start by heating oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Pour in oats.

 

Add all dry ingredients

Mix

Add honey, peanut butter and oil to a pot, and melt, it wont take long, just get to a consistency so you can pour.

Pour over oat mixture, its sometimes easier work in with hands to ensure even-ish coverage.

Place in oven, you will need to stir it a few times to get all golden and delicious. Take's about 20 mins depending on your oven

Note: Its best to add the fruit after baking as it goes all dry and chewy.

Weekend Fun: D.I.Y

It was a lovely Autumn day yesterday, and I wanted to get the kids outside. I had remember seeing this post over at The Magic Onion's and thought...''Now that will keep them busy for a while" haha.

What you will need.

• An imagination
• A miniature tree (it will need to be trimmed so it doesn't out-grow the fairy's.
• Something to plant the garden into (we use an old terracotta pot, but you could use any thing you have on hand)
• Some soil or potting mix (please read health warning on the bags)
• Some moss or ready grass.
• Any other little bits and piece you can find that would make fairy's happy.

 

 

Start by preparing your pot or what are using to plant the garden in, in our case it was pulling out weeds :)

 

Next fill with soil and pack down. We probably should have fill it closer to the top, ah well we know for next time now.

 

 

 

Now plant your tree and other plants if you have any.

Next is to place moss or grass on top of soil, leave a gap if you plan to have a pond.

Then its just matter of adding the final touches, Charlotte had spent ages making a tee pee out of twings for the fairy's to camp in...then along came Lola...the dog , she thought it was something she could eat, silly doggy.

Then its play time.

Hope you enjoy making your garden just as much as we did.

Note: Be sure to water the garden and to trim the tree.

And a butterfly is born....

I,ve been busy

Look what I made.....

Backyard camp out..

With it being school holidays, I've tryed to be creative with fun things to do with the sprockets. Since we don't need to be getting up early for school just yet, we decided to have a camp out...and by camp out I mean a fire in the back yard. We toasted marshmallows and sung songs and told tales...it was a great night.
