spring flowers and pies on the windowsill

Tulips are my most favourite-est flower and I'm so happy that The Tulip festival has started! We're having great weather this weekend so I can't wait to get the kids out to see it!
We're still food obsessed here and the Mr. is getting a reputation for making fabulous risotto. This is his roasted red pepper and bacon risotto bubbling away. Spicy!
Some of our summer herbs are planted and happily growing.
My first Lemon Meringue Pie is cooling. I can't wait to try it!


With the prospect of all of us going to school in the fall we have so much we want to cram into this summer. The kids have theme summer camps, we're cottaging, visiting with friends, taking mini trips and exploring our own city. We are hoping that this can be the year we are all biking so we can start taking rides thru the city and on the trails.
Every year we try to get more out of our growing season and this year my husband and the kids have become worm farmers, (yes, you heard me right) hoping to add lots of healthy worms and compost to our organic garden. We are also hoping to increase our garden and incorporate more grown foods into our meals.
