ZUCCHINI PICKLES

Preserving and storing food takes up lots of room in my pantry and freezer but I can't stand having food go to waste especially after I've taken the time to grow it myself. Yesterday I picked yet another huge zucchini from our garden, funnily enough I barely had any to pick through summer but now the plants seem to have their second wind and are producing quite well. One of my favourite ways to preserve zucchini is to make pickles and my favourite recipe is from Sally Wise' A Year In A Bottle.

This double batch using 2kg of zucchini made up 12 x 300ml jars, enough to last us a couple of years.

COLOR RUN - ADELAIDE

Sophie and I are entered into our first marathon and what a fun one to do.  I'm so excited to be running the color run (really tempted to put a u in color) in Adelaide.

As luck would have it we are going to be in Adelaide for Lachie the next week as he got into SAPSASA footy this year.  He was the last one cut in 2012 and we are so proud and happy for him getting through this time.  Sophie and I will be going up a day earlier for the run and Lachie will be coming up with another family after his footy commitment here at home.

I'm so happy to be doing this run with my baby girl.
