Lots of Tapas at Novo Lounge

Posted on October 25, 2024November 11, 2024 by Jupiter

Dann and I actually went to Novo Lounge when it first launched, taking our children with us. We ended up having a bit of a chaotic time, particularly due to some picky eaters who weren’t really sure what they were ordering before it arrived. We’ve been back a few times to grab drinks during their happy hour, but decided to try them out again for dinner, with a friend of ours, after an evening of playing Pokemon Go. Novo Lounge has a lot of community activities going on; drag bingo, board game nights, and on this particular night there was salsa practice happening! It’s great to see a venue become such a staple in the community and fun that they run so many events.

Night Out at Halloween at Kew Gardens

Posted on October 24, 2024October 23, 2024 by Jupiter

Our family absolutely loves Light Walks at Christmastime and have done a bunch of events at Kew Gardens previously, so when I saw Halloween at Kew Gardens, I was pumped to see if the light walk feel could be translated to the Halloween concept. I didn’t want to spoil exactly what it was, so I just booked up tickets and parking, and then waited for the date to come around!

Making Flavored Yogurt with Easiyo

Posted on October 23, 2024November 6, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to making our own food, we have had some experience creating yogurt previously, however it relied on a type of milk that I found difficult to obtain and kind of expensive. Easiyo is a different way to create yogurt; it’s a sort of device that you can easily add yogurt mixes into it, make sure they are up to temperature, then wait a few hours and you suddenly have yoghurt.

Picking Pumpkins at Cammas Hall

Posted on October 22, 2024November 5, 2024 by Jupiter

We go to Cammas Hall every year and really enjoy their selection of pumpkins. They have an impressive set up of pumpkins and are always adding new features to their pumpkin patch. This year, highlights include a spooky and not-so-spooky walk, a bunch of Pumpkin picture areas, tons of different pumpkins, actors dressed up walking around, and a corn maze.

Midweek Meal Inspo; Spooky Burgers, Calzones, Spooky Meatballs and more

Posted on October 21, 2024October 15, 2024 by Jupiter

We have been having more spooky or Halloween inspired food, as it’s such a fun time of the year. Along with these more labor intensive food, I’ve been making some Italian food that I find quick and easy. This week’s meals are a mix of both, so some classics everyone will love and some beautiful decorated spooky food that really will impress anyone who sees them.

Spooky Meatballs

I was inspired to be cute and spooky, so I tried making some spooky meatballs, two ways. Amelia doesn’t like cheese, so I made her some homemade meatballs and then wrapped them with puff pastry to create a mummy. I also took a bunch of meatballs, cooked them, and then put them on a baking tray. I then added a slice of cheese to the top of them. I feel that it might have come out better with some of those burger cheese slices, instead of real cheddar, but it did melt over the meatballs and became a sort of ghost! We served this over pasta with tomato sauce.
