That is him & I, trying to share a small bathroom ever so nicely. I thought the husband should get a little feature on the blog, Some day I will do a then & now of us when we first met. Think dickies shorts, band tees and skate shoes. Hmmm. That was him, not me. Oh, but we did tend to have his & hers bandanas. Cute. This is also one of the few photos lately, of us together. Me with a nice big camera over my face. Perfect.

Until next time.BlackbirdBLOG signature

MAKE IT // Free List Printable

I bloody love me a good list. I write lists till the cows come home. About anything. Any excuse to write a list is good enough for me. Even if it is not a very good reason. I will be there. Pen and paper in hand. And if you have a clip board, sheesh. I am done for.

Being as you are all so grand, and I believe the world could do with more lists. Here is a printable I made just for you. Just click HERE to download. So go on, get your your list on.

 I love me some creepers, some leather and some black. I can’t help it. I am a sucker for it. As you may have been able to tell. This get-up is a go to for me.  Baggy top, Tights and a great pair of comfy shoes.

 I tend to have my staple shoes. Shoes that I wear day in and day out. Always black. But variations none the less. And these are one of them. I picked these puppies up when I was in Melbourne, and I am pretty happy I did.  As you can tell by my Michael Jackson dance moves.

MAKE IT // Petite Kitchens Quinoa, Spinach & Cheddar Cheese Cups

After interviewing the amazing Eleanor from Petite Kitchen I was all inspired to make the husband and I some of her delicious food. I am always up for delicious food, and especially if it means no extra crap in there that our bodies don’t really need. Eleanor’s recipes are so damn simple. Chuck it all in a bowl, Mix it, Cook it. The kind of recipes I like. So here is the delicious and easy recipes for these little puppies.

This recipe is from her Winter Recipe Journal, Available here.

2 cups cooked quinoa, cooked in stock.
4 Free range eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese ( I substituted for Edam, which I already had )
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 spring onion, finely chopped ( I substituted for red onion, which I already had )
Sea salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 180C, and line muffin tray with baking paper

In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and a large pinch of the salt and pepper. With your hands or a wooden spoon, mix well until combined. Divide the mixture between the muffin tins then bake in the oven for 25minutes or until cooked through.

Makes around 12.

Bam. So easy, So yum. Thanks once again Eleanor.

Head over HERE for more simple, whole and delish recipes.

Until next time
