Short Crust Pastry

I love pies and tarts, actually I love anything that has a nice crumbly pastry edge… mmmm nothing better. I know you can buy short crust pastry quick and easy at the woolies or coles but its so simple to make and I like to think it taste better. So here is my simple short cut pastry recipe.

These burgers are the BOMB! (P.S I can’t take credit for them, but I have put in a link for you.)

A tiny version of our delicious dinner. Its kid sized.

Here are some amazingly amazing burgers. These Pioneer Woman Freddy’s Burgers —-> link here.

They are super simple and quick. Plus Goobs loved them just as much as us. We made them in mini size for him. Here is a beautiful montage of photos of Goobs enjoying his dinner, we had a picnic outside as the weather was so beautiful.

Bannana, Mango and Spinach Smoothie

Goobs enjoying his smoothie.

As you can see I love adding spinach to my food and Goobs food. So before I share some information my why spinach is so good for you.

“It (spinach) is well known for its nutritional qualities and has always been regarded as a plant with remarkable abilities to restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood. There are sound reasons why spinach would produce such results, primarily the fact that it is rich in iron. Iron plays a central role in the function of red blood cells which help in transporting oxygen around the body, in energy production and DNA synthesis. Spinach is also an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and folic acid as well as being a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron and vitamin B2. Vitamin K is important for maintaining bone health and it is difficult to find vegetables richer in vitamin K than spinach.” – BBCgoodfood.com

We should all be eating spinach on a daily basis however I know I’m not a huge fan of spinach. Actually once you would have seen me actively avoiding it but now I try and have it as least 3 times a week. Now this delicious recipe is fantastic at hiding the taste of the spinach, plus its creamy.
