~Cook Up with donna hay and Irina~

Another Cook Up happened just before Christmas here

from donna hay magazine Issue 71 Oct/Nov 2013

On the menu was Mustard and Fennel Port Skewers with Pea Hummus

Vanilla Sponge Cake with Cream and Passionfruit

I served it with a bit of Beetroot Dip

So very, very tasty!!!

Donna's sponge

and mine

This was a bit of a challenge as I hadn't made a sponge cake forever but I substituted for gluten free flour and it was delicious.....especially with that tangy passionfruit!!!

Irina has joined me in these cook ups and I'm loving her choices

Anyone is welcome to join

All you have to do is cook something from the current donna hay magazine and blog it......

Bon Appetit

A Gardener's Journal...Block D and Passionfruit Slice...

Moving along here with my Gardener's Journal quilt that I am doing on the Stitch-a-long hosted by Chookyblue...

Finally, Block D...this one seemed to take forever...especially with the corn!!!

I'm using what I have...particularly any fabrics that I purchased from Anni...

however last week I purchased a fat 1/4 that I thought I could use...

I have used it to the right of the corn... (the blue one) 

Mr Armchair picked up that it was different to the others...

 but I think it's going to stay...

I'll see how it looks later on down the track...

And all stitched up to the other block...

Now it's onto Block E...

Meanwhile, over at Innerpickle I saw a really easy recipe for Passionfruit Slice...

lemon zest all ready to go in...

into the oven...

cooling off...

Simply delicious!!! 

For the recipe go to My Dolce Vita over here,

delicious for passionfruit fans, guaranteed...and best of all...nice'neasy!!!

Bon Appetit, Dzintra
