Kitchen Time

I love cooking and preparing meals with the food we grow. Tonight for instance, spinach and feta pies where on the menu.

With the chickens back on the lay, eggs are suddenly back on the menu! Our youngest has been so excited after weeks with no eggs to finally go and collect - a ritual he did almost hourly today! Oh yes, very exciting for a 4yo to be collecting these oh so precious things.

So the old english spinach has been begging to be picked for weeks - time for some pies.

Donna Hay had the perfect recipe, just also calling for some filo, feta and seasoning! 30 minutes later - hey presto, some gorgeous pies served up with salad for a scrumptuous dinner. 4yo was pretty impressed with egg pies too, not at all deterred by all that green stuff!

plated up - a rainbow of colours

As it turned out today's plate count exceeded our average with spinach, lemon, mint, eggs, cucumber, lettuce and carrots all from the ol rusty possum garden! Gotta love that!
