Sundays that unfold at home can be such simple, unhurried days. Our blue front gate is closed, there is nowhere else we have to be or that we want to be. We spend time together and time alone doing the things we love and enjoy.
The Sunday just passed was one like this. Books were read and shared while curled up under warm covers. Board games were played up at our old wooden table. A footy was kicked back and forth out in the yard. Rows and and rows were added to a new dishcloth I'm knitting. Hands were warmed around mugs of hot tea and hot chocolate and batches of homemade goodness were baked too.
I made little Buckwheat Jam Drops filled with strawberry jam that oozed over the edges of the thumbprints I had pressed into the biscuit dough. I used up some tangy yoghurt in a Lemon and Yoghurt Cake which we enjoyed with freshly whipped cream and warmed berries. Batches of wholesome Breakfast Muffins were baked too for the busy school mornings ahead in weeks to come.
Ours was a slow Sunday, a relaxing Sunday and a delicious Sunday too. I hope yours was just as good!

Sounds Perfect!
ReplyDeleteIt was just a really nice, slow day at home. Days like this are really welcome after the "busy" that the working and school week can bring. I hope you had a nice Sunday too!
DeleteSounds like a great Sunday.....I love when we are home together just pottering around....Sundays for us is still football for another 2 months so looking forward to our quiet Sundays after that. Your baking looks great. Regards Kathy A, Brisbane
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the baking ... and the eating! I'm sure you'll savour those quiet Sundays when they come around. Meg:)
DeleteYour Sunday sounds like mine used to be when my children were younger. I have an excess of lemon juice in my freezer that needs to be used up, would you mind sharing the recipe for your lemon and yoghurt cake?
ReplyDeleteI'll do a lemon and yoghurt cake post sometime this week for you, Jan. It's a really simple recipe ... the best kind!
DeleteThe ingredients for a perfect Sunday!
ReplyDeleteSome Sundays just unfold and flow and I love it when they do!
