Gus the Cat - And What I'm Reading

Gus is my cat. 

Sweet, lively, cheeky and so so very patient, nothing much rattles him. He is 10 years old and I'm hoping that he lives until he's 50! It will be a sad day when he goes to the cat playground in the sky.

He happily come in the car with us to the shack. Loves to play (still) and puts up with almost anything my children throw (literally) at him.

His best friend is Tina the dog.

This pic is a few weeks old now but pretty much all I've been reading lately is Real Living magazines and trashy books (i.e., the Fifty Shades of Grey series.)

It's a wonder that I ever get any reading done around here but one thing is guaranteed, that I will always have my "snuggle buddy" with me. 

So my little fur buddy, Thank you for all the warm cuddles.

What I'm Reading

Last week I had a few glorious kid free moments before an appointment so I popped into the local public library. With only a few moments to look, I grabbed a bunch of cookbooks off the shelf:

Nom Nom Paleo by Michelle Tam and Henry Fong, River Cottage Baby and Toddler Cookbook by Nikki Duffy and Inspiring Ingredients by Lola Berry.

They're all pretty good and I found plenty of recipes that follow my cooking principal of keeping it simple and as nutritious as possible (whilst retaining some taste!) I'm particularly looking forward to making the chicken liver pate out of the River Cottage book. It looks delicious.

What I'm Reading

At the moment I'm obsessed with nutritious eating so it's appropriate that I'm reading lots of cookbooks. These are the two that I got for Christmas which I'm pouring over like a woman obsessed.

Both are very good. Pete Evans has slightly more fussy recipes but what I like the most is that it's a really educational book with the bonus of some really great recipes.

I'm more in love with Lola Berry's 20/20 diet book though as it is a lot more "my style" of eating. I've done lots of breakfast recipes and loved them all. I like that she gives her recipe measurements in "cups" as well as "grams" (I like to be accurate!)
