Hello! I’m Jane.
This blog is about the little daily things that keep me active and inspired in my seventies. I definitely take each day as it comes and try to live in the moment.
Welcome, would you like a cup of tea and a cookie?
My kitchen must-haves
We all know that the kitchen is the heart of the home. Mine is especially so because it is actually part of the living/dining room and the first room you see when you come up the stairs from the front entry area.
Autumn Splendour
Here are some of the things I’m loving about the month of October in Ontario, Canada:
Rhubarb Pie
At last week’s family dinner, my son requested I make one of his favourite desserts, rhubarb pie. “Mom, it’s spring, isn’t rhubarb in season now?” he said. Yes, the weather is definitely warming up. Rhubarb pie is easy to make and is indeed delicious, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. How could I say no?
Peanut Butter Cookies
I’ve been making these treats for many years, ever since my kids were small and I received a free Quaker Oats cook book (pamphlet really) in the mail. Full name The Quaker Oats Wholegrain Cookbook. My copy has been taped together and is missing the cover’s front corner. The pages are stained with age and splattered ingredients, but in a good way!
