Happy lil ❤’s are baking ~ Bread and Jam Pudding

What did you bake or cook with your kids this week?

Below is a linky list so you can join in the fun and start sharing what you bake with your kids! Family favourites, new recipes, cultural or traditional recipes – you name it, we’d like to read about them, and if you include the details, try them out 🙂 

With the cold weather here we made Bread and Jam Pudding!

It is just like bread and butter pudding without the sultanas and using jam instead
{I’m not fond of sultanas in hot food….}

We used:
5 slices of white bread
strawberry jam 
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
vanilla to taste
nutmeg
Dino Boy spread jam on the bread before eating a piece and going to eat another!
{we started with 6 pieces, but 5 ended up been fine}
Then we placed our bread in our dish…

Next we made a simple custard…. firstly we beat the eggs and sugar
Then we added the milk and vanilla ~ beating some more for a smooth consistency
Dino Boy then poured it carefully over the bread
Before sprinkling nutmeg on top
Into the oven it went for about 45 minutes at 180°C (350F)

We enjoyed ours warm for dessert, served with a good vanilla ice cream *smile*

Delicious!!

We can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to in the kitchen with your kids!

A Spiral Jacket and our Winter garden

 Finishing a project can be wonderful can’t it!
{well if it has turned out as hoped…}
And I have to admit that I am rather thrilled with Little Miss Q’s spiral jacket!!  
{just don’t look too closely and maybe you can ignore some mistakes!}
I had planned to find a large button, maybe like for a duffel coat, to fasten the jacket…

Then I remembered a pretty butterfly brooch and gave it a go *smile*
And ohhh when I did, I just felt it completed the jacket
{and luckily it has a safety device at the back and is sturdy}
The jacket is so warm and snuggly… perfect for our Winter days…
Days spent exploring our Winter garden *smile*

 

The pattern is called ‘Spiral Jacket’ and is from Lincraft.
I haven’t had any luck finding it online…
And I’m waiting for an email from Lincraft so I can share more details with you {hopefully}

~ Update from Lincraft ~
