Well Christmas has just zoomed past. I hope you all had a wonderful day and are enjoying the end of year opportunity to pause and take a deep breath.

I’ve had a lovely few days – baking and jam making in the build up to Christmas. We spent the day itself at my aunt and uncle’s house, surrounded by family, excited kids and PLENTY to eat and drink. The meal (mostly cooked by my aunt) was fabulous. Richard and I had our usual bizarre multi-cultural vegetarian meal (this year eggplant parmigiana with roast potatoes and vegies), while mum made mini-pavlovas with mango and berries, a welcome alternative to the stodge of Christmas pudding.

The day was punctuated by a trip to the beach. While my two year old nephew and I went paddling, the rest played cricket and it was lovely watching Richard with all the generations of my family together, happy and laughing.

Now it’s back to blogging and as per usual I have a whole pile of things to talk about. Before I started blogging I worried about having enough things to say. Ha, as if. Rather than struggling, I have constant back-log of blogging topics.

On the list at the moment are the recipes and prep plan from my Christmas dinner party , plus I have another muffin recipe to post, along with a couple of other summery dishes I’ve been making. I’m going to be talking about salads, a bit more about trans fats , plus I have a new weekly storecupboard cooking series of posts currently in the planning stages.

There’s still lots to come on Limes&Lycopene and I hope you continue reading, leaving comments and sending me lovely emails.
