// Ground Beef with Broccolini and Cranberries

Christmas in July?! This is true! We want a carefree summer, a delicious summer, and a simple wholesome summer, and this delightful stove-top dish has been our Saturday morning later breakfast-brunch go-to since late May, with some leftover (and flowering!) broccolini — renditions attracting our chicken bites as well. Burger-ful wraps with a bit of crunch and a bit of sweet. A flavourful and filling one-pot Ground Beef with Broccolini and Cranberries anytime main. Hello July!~ Recipe follows...

// Feels Like Summer!

Goood morning!~ Can we just stand up (if we're sitting) and applaud the wonderful, sunny weekend we just had in our neck of the woods, Fathers' Day nostalgia included! What a delight, with all smiles, most out and about, catching up with friends after a loooong 🤫 :), moist indulgent lemon cake with strawberry filling, slow, longer walks, and quiet evening relaxation (new and older), both enjoyed! All the Gods rewarding us for 'hanging in there'. More artsy notables after the jump. Have a fabulous week. ~xx...

// Father's Day Gift Ideas

These days we're all about pleasure, and June 15th is fast approaching (where are you warm-er season?!) Themed gift ideas (a game of pool) for our loving dads, and yes we're a tiny bit biased favouring our quiet, hardworking, follow-through dads, all about family. After a full work week, our dad always looked forward to unwinding on a Saturday morning watching funny cartoons on the tele (Scooby-Doo and Dennis the Menace being favs). As young kids we would join him on waking, in our pjs, —before getting into the busy dos of the day. Older years found us 🙈. Good memories... A few loveables for our consistent heavy-lifters. Hello June!~ and Happy Fathers' Day!...
