Weekly Roundup 11 July

  Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all been keeping warm wherever you are. It sure has been windy this week in the Waikato. This week's roundup is a little bit different. As I was putting it together I came across an amazing (new to me) store named The Old Faithful Shop. All the beautiful items you see here are from their beautifully well curated shop! Isn't everything simply stunning. Enjoy and I hope you all have a fun, relaxing weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Looks like 2013 is off to a booming start for so many people - including us here at TN!  Just last week we found out that we might be able to move into a new bigger, sunnier home and just this Wednesday we found out we're moving this Sunday!  Nothing like a short deadline to get things going!

Bees Blessing

I have a soft spot for products made locally. When you combine that soft spot with cooking and beautiful packaging - things get can get a bit crazy! Over the past year, I've been lucky enough to meet Jo from Bees Blessing. And I can guarantee she is as delightful as all their products! Tonight I made an absolutely delicious marinade for our chicken made with their latest treasure: Lemon & Thyme.  I've never tasted anything so tender and full of flavour - it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken tenderloins were only marinaded for 30 minutes before being grilled. Here is what I made this evening (give or take). 1/4 cup Bees Blessing 3 Tbs soy sauce 2 tsp fresh ginger 2 Tbs fresh garlic 1 tsp chili flakes 1 tsp dried coriander The chicken was served along side a large green salad made out of: baby spinach basil sundried tomato feta sundried tomatoes pine nuts sunflower seeds Look for Bees Blessing in a cafe or store near you and make sure to pick it up on your next shop!  I guarantee you won't regret it!
