Sunday's Baking

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.

Sweet and jammy Jam Drops.

 Lovely Lemon and Yoghurt Cake.

Wholesome Breakfast Muffins...Mmmm!

Ours was a slow Sunday, a relaxing Sunday and a delicious Sunday too. I hope yours was just as good!

    1. It 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!

  3. Your 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?
