Day 3 comforting dessert.

I remember as a little girl our neighbours had rhubarb growing in their garden, they would send me home with some and I'd beg my Mam for stewed fruit and custard. It is still a total comfort food for me and every autumn I make it for "Pip" and now also "Button" 

Today I made very simple rhubarb, apple and vanilla stewed fruit and served it with Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey and A sprinkle of Chia seeds (sneaky protein props huh?). We enjoyed it as dessert after our dinner.



Pip decided that it's his favourite thing to eat, Button made adorable mmmmmm sounds and I loved how something from my childhood has become a part of theirs.

Our conversation at the dinner table was about our favourite book Pips being anything by David Walliams, and as the chief  bedtime story reader I have to agree with him. They are hilarious books. My favourite book is 1984 but I wasn't quite ready to discuss the Dystopia of Winstons world with my eight year quite yet. So for the purpose of this conversation the mantle went to my second place yet more family friendly Harry Potter. Being one Button doesn't have a favourite book as yet but she loves to eat them (true story). 

Bon Appetit Xx
