With this post I will also take part for the first time in Shaheen's Eat Your Greens Challenge from the A2K - A seasonal veg table blog - very exciting! I'm so happy that she pointed out that possibility to me.

Really sweet. I like these. On one of the days, I sat and went through all your blog from the beginning and have already seen your hedgehog pasta, but these are lovely and both big and little kids would love them. I need to find my hedgehog cookie cutter, I have one somewhere.
ReplyDeleteOh I also wanted to add, please please share this with my #EatYourGreens challenge. http://allotment2kitchen.blogspot.co.uk/p/eat-your-greens-ch.html
DeleteI know some of my readers will not have discovered your lovely blog and this will be a wonderful introduction to The Veg Hog. I know I for one have been delighted to have found your blog, down to earth and homely.
Thanks. I will definitely edit the post and link it to your Eat Your Greens challenge. I have seen a couple of posts to that before, but not looked into it how to participate. Also, my food is not always so green, I've noticed. :)
Deletejust saw this on eat your greens and really love your little spinach creatures - so cute and so wonderfully green
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna! I try to put my hedgehog cookie cutters to good use. :)
