Walnut Cake Brunch
Remember that delicious walnut cake I made a few recipes back…well we used up the leftovers for a delicious brunch at the weekend! Check this out, it was loved by all the kids! The recipe is super easy and you could use any old leftover pieces of cake it doesn’t have to be walnut cake. The walnut cake does work well with the apples though.

These pancakes are our absolute fave! They are fluffy and so delicious with chopped fruit, nuts and maybe a drizzle of maple syrup or raw honey.

Oat & Raisin Cookies
We all love a cookie in our house and they don’t last long thats for sure! These oat & raisin cookies are so delicious. I once made a huge batch (this recipe x4) and froze 3 logs of cookies in the freezer to take one out each week of the month. This works really well for school packed lunch treats and snacks and now that the kids are homeschooling for a while its the perfect treat to take out the night before.
Butternut Chicken Soup
I love this comforting soup I made last week with a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. It’s so simple and the buttery texture of the butternut squash, leeks and onions goes well with the shredded rottisserie chicken. I shredded both the legs and wings of the chicken, including the skin, into little pieces and added to the soup halfway through the cook. It added such a delicious flavour and a boost of protein.

Homemade Butter
There are so many options when it comes to buying butter and we really don’t have to make our own but there’s something deeply satisfying about making your own butter for your kitchen. It’s fun, super easy and you can add other ingredients to the butter to create your own flavoured butters.
All you need is a food mixer or a traditional butter churner and glass. It’s a fun activity for young kids to use the butter churner and it can be quite satisfying for them too to see the final results. They can then go on to make the butter milk pancakes or muffins recipe.

Walnut & Date Loaf
I love a slice of this traditional walnut cake in the afternoon with a hot cup of tea, it’s the perfect pick me up before shcool run! It’s a traditional recipe and I love the combination of the crunchy walnuts and sweet pieces of dates in the loaf. There’s not too much icing on the top but you can layer it thicker if you like. I like a thin layer as I feel it adds just enough sweetness to the cake.
You can also vary the toppings on the top of the cake, I’ve added some crunchy chopped walnuts but you could also add date pieces or leave it just as plain simple icing.
