February

My 8 year old went off to school today with jam sandwiches in his lunchbox, wrapped in plastic clingfilm.  While I cringed as I did it, the world didn’t stop and tomorrow once the shopping is done, life will return to healthier fillings and sandwiches wrapped in paper.
Sometimes it pays not to sweat the small stuff and to see life in balance and not an isolated lunch box.
With moderation in mind, our fresh peach cake is the most splendid afternoon tea or pudding.  Nicest the day it is made and even better when almost warm from the oven, the February golden peaches are simply gorgeous in this light and fluffy cake.
To keep things in balance do try this deliciously healthy sesame chicken salad.

Happy Cooking,

The kids are almost back to school – well some are some aren’t, we have a mixture in our house and are counting down until next Thursday when peace will be restored for set hours each day.
