raw blueberry jam filled cookie recipe included

I love spending time in the kitchen, especially when I am creating something new. But there is something else I love doing. that's spending time with my daughter.
So when I get to combine the two together it is just so perfect!!!
while our pastry is getting dehydrated we go outside together.

Now that the weather is getting warmer we started doing more in the garden. We have planted many fruit trees including apples, fijioas, nashi pears, red currant, blackberries, citruses, etc etc… My vegetable garden is not too exciting at the moment but still producing wonderfully spicy rockets and other salad leaves like mizuna, chinese greens to pick at the moment.
 Layla sometimes help in the garden but her favourite thing to do in the garden is making things with what she finds.
