Savvy Savoy

Oh hello sunshine… finally we are crawling out of this abyss of cold and our weather has actually reached double digits and stayed there, now we just have to bring on the heat. So I thought in honour of this lovely sunny day that I would celebrate the sun and eat cabbage. Certain foods make…

Breakfast of champions

When I first had the idea of starting up Cow Crumbs and sharing all of my delicious goodies, I was living in what some would call a hobbit village. My home or cottage as I liked to call it was from the 1600 hundreds and it just oozed character. From the skeleton key that would…

Gettin’ jiggy with my figgy

Do you ever notice how certain tastes change as you get older? Certain things you may have loved as a child you wouldn’t eat now if someone paid you. When I was a kid if you had said to me, one day you’re going to LOVE brussel sprouts, I would have thought you were drunk….
