Recipe: Cucumber and Dill Salad
Cucumber and dill salad time. A fan of dill? I’m not a big fan of dill – I’ll pass on dill pickle chips all the time, yet dill in its fresh herb form is actually quite delicate. The flavour is mild.

Ingredients 1/2 a bunch of dill 2 cucumbers 500g of coconut greek yogurt 100g of chopped almonds First – peel and deseed the cucumbers. Thinly slice the cucumbers and chop the…

Project: Button Art
Buttons! I first fell in love with buttons when I was planning our wedding. Flowers really aren’t our thing – yes, they are beautiful, but they die very quickly.
