Kevin Dundon is a famous chef from our very own Wexford! We think his recipe for Strawberry Pavlova will be delicious and we can't wait for the strawberries in our garden to start growing again this year! You can check out the recipe (plus many others) on The Taste.ie here: thetaste.ie/wp/strawberry-pavlova-recipe-by-chef-kevin-dundon/
Just in time for the long Bank Holiday weekend, we found some videos on YouTube with craft ideas for your garden. We searched hard and we only want to share with you easy things you can do at home, as some of the videos are really hard or they need a lot of different things to make them. We hope you have fun making them!
If you make something please share it with us in the comments below!
We all know lamb is popular in Spring and during Easter too, so we've found this simple mint sauce recipe from Safe Food.eu for a fresh and easy to make side. Mint is easy to grow at home and is really versatile in it's uses, from garnishing a dessert to home-made beauty products! Why not give it a try? http://www.safefood.eu/Healthy-Eating/Recipes/Dinner/Mint-sauce.aspx
Coming up to Easter we think of many things including flowers, eggs, chocolate and the Easter bunny. Another thing we think about and start to see more, are carrots! We grow plenty of carrots in St Brigids Garden, our special growing area in the village. They're pretty easy to grow and while we usually just eat them boiled at Sunday or in the occasional salad, you can use them for lots of other things too! We found a really easy recipe for making a home made carrot face mask on Live Strong.com. Carrots are supposed to help rejuvenate your skin because they are antiseptic. This recipe also contains honey to help moisturize your skin too.
We would like to thank everyone for joining us for our spring clean this year on April 1st. Despite the rain we all had a great time (no joke!) and the village looked much tidier after we finished. It was great to involve the community and have many people join us to help improve our village and keep it clean!
We especially cleaned around the recycling bins in the village. It's good that people recycle but also when the bins are full some people still drop their bags off and it can leave a mess. Also not everyone uses the bins for recycling and that's why we need to keep it clean! We were very busy working but we took some photos that we will try upload here, and also on our Instagram page too.
