Trying new things to rejuvenate yourself<br />

Hello!<br />

bit like that. Weekly menu’s, with the same shopping lists all makes life lovely and easy as we<br />

don’t need to think too much about what we are doing. But how inspiring is that? I know I can be<br />

like that too with my family meal cooking but actually for us to experience new tastes and to expeput’s<br />

the pressure on. I don’t do so much of that with my children which I’m realising I need to<br />

focus on.<br />

We’ve just had a holiday weekend with the most glorious sunshine and warmth. We have over the<br />

weekend done things that have been fun, inspiring and really enjoyable. It’s made me realise that<br />

life can be less stressful if we put a bit of fun and play into our lives. Nothing we were doing was<br />

new.. swinging on swings, swimming in the cold sea, jumping on trampolines. Having a picnic in<br />

the sunshine using my Granny’s picnic basket brought a bit of nostalgia to the picnic rug conversamade<br />

me feel lighter and happier and rejuvenated in myself. So how about making new dishes and<br />

One of the new recipes I made was a delicious garlic and basil tomato and bread salad. Simple but<br />

just gorgeous on taste.<br />

tomatoes are cut in half to give gorgeous colour with tasty toasted sourdough chunks. This is a<br />

salad to be easily transported for your sunny day picnic or with a savoury tart, cold meats, or hummus<br />

and avocado dips. The list really is endless. My children loved this… as did the whole family<br />

which I was delighted about. This dish will definitely be on my list of salads to eat this summer.<br />
