It's A Jungle Out There - Part 1


This half term's Creative Home Work is "Science: It's A Jungle Out There".

Jack has chosen to make a model of a plant (either a rose or  bean stalk, he hasn't chosen which yet), take some photos of Spring flowers, and grow something!

This weekend we started to grow a plant!

We only have a few weeks to grow something, and (since despite Hubby being a garden centre nursery man in his past, and in his heart, keeping plants alive is NOT a strong point of this family) I've been out and bought some CRESS SEEDS! My reasoning? They grow within a week! They are EASY to grow! If we kill them we have time to try again (and plenty of seeds). If we DON'T kill them we can actually EAT some!

Saturday afternoon we planted our first lot of cress seeds and sat them on the kitchen window along with the cacti and jade plants (the only plants I haven't killed!)


We're taking photos each day of their progress and making a little video too of how we do (which I'll share at some point).

Wish us luck! I'm the kind of person that can manage to kill spider plants!



Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too. 

 You can also go to my page, hover over the “liked” button and select get notifications. Then you will see my posts and status updates in your notifications. Mumma Walker on Facebook

Recipe: Pigsty Pie

This is one that we made up, although we are far from the first or only people to make a pie using pork or pork mince and call it a Pigsty Pie. So let's just say that this is our version of it. It smells great and reminds me of stuffing at Christmas, making it feel much more "naughty" than it is! This serves four people and it a nice 9 points per serving. You will need these for the mash: 400g potatoes 400g sweet potatoes 4-5 good sized carrots Salt Pepper Nutmeg Simply chop the roots, boil in salted water until tender, and mash! Add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste. The pie filling: 10 sprays low fat cooking spray (e.g. 1 cal) 1/2 lb lean pork mince 2 onions, finely chopped 3 apples, diced 1 leek, chopped 5-6 big mushrooms 2 tbs plain flour 1 tsp sage 1 tsp parsley Salt Pepper 1 vegetable stock cube 1/2 hot water 2 tsp English mustard Fry the onions in the cooking spray until they start to soften, add the mince. Once the meat starts to colour add the apple, leek and mush
