We are so excited to add this lovely recipe from Tash over at Little Bit of Thyme. If you are a mum, a crafter, a baker, or interested in a slower more contented life, then she is the comfy read for you. She is short of nothing inspirational with her funny calm writing and I do love to catch up with Tash’s blog often. Apart from that, she is completely clever in so many other ways, and if you have any plans to join our Insider Club which is coming soon, you will find that we are using a lot of her beautiful graphic work throughout. The first project you may have seen is the Nifty but Thrifty cookbook that is free for all Insider Club members. But I digress...
Get your laughing gear around these delicious tidbits...Tash, I take home delivery you know. YUM.
