When my friend Lisa from Australia started talking about “Fairy Bread” with “Hundreds and Thousands” I had no idea what she was talking about! Her explanation has turned into one of the boys’ favourite treats. Once you see the recipe, you’ll understand why! What is Fairy Bread? Bread spread with butter with sprinkles (known as […]

Local Products Worth Checking out!

I was lucky enough to be given a sample pack of products from Nova Scotia Fisherman. These are all natural NS Kelp infused soaps, lotions, lip and body balm for life’s rough patches. And, they are all handmade right here in New Minas.

By merely having these soaps in my bathroom, gave it a fresh scent – and that in itself was worth it! Over the past few weeks I have been trying out the various soaps. My favourite is definitely the clay mint! The hand lotion is not greasy, and the best word to describe the lip balm is invigorating!

My husband has been using the body lotion on his cracked feet, and after only two applications, his feet are completely healed! (Be thankful I didn’t include before and after pictures!)

For those concerned with ingredients and process, these products are not tested on animals, have no petroleum based ingredients, no artificial fragrances and are paraben free. They use a variety of oils from palm, coconut and olive that are good for babies’ skin as well. When you go on their website, every product’s ingredients are listed so you can rest assured what is in it.

Besides being made locally, Nova Scotia Fisherman works with local adult-service centre organizations such as the Flower Cart and Apple Tree Industries to help with packaging. They are a very valuable part of how they do business.

Every time you buy a Nova Scotia Fisherman product you are also giving back to nature. A portion of every sale benefis the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC)! The NCC works on a landscape scale to acquire, manage and restore habitats, including some of the region’s most iconic landscapes.

Locally, Nova Scotia Fisherman products are available at
Home Hardware; Pete’s; Stirlings; Hennigars; Mader’s Pharmacy; Wilson’s Pharmacy; Larry’s Pharmacy; Boutique de Grand Pre; Gaspereau Vineyard or at their storefront 15 Jones Road, New Minas (across from the RCMP station), or online. If you go onto the website and enter your postal code you will find other retailers near you, too. FIND LOCAL RETAILERS

I highly recommend checking them out and supporting the local campaign!

Fairy Bread

January 28, 2011/in Recipe /by ValleyFamilyFun

What is Fairy Bread? Bread spread with butter with sprinkles (known as hundreds and thousands in Australia) on the top!

The word Fairy Bread is thought to have come from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894).

COME up here, O dusty feet!
Here is fairy bread to eat.
Here in my retiring room,
Children, you may dine
On the golden smell of broom
And the shade of pine;
And when you have eaten well,
Fairy stories hear and tell.

Directions:

Spread margarine onto slices of bread. Cover with sprinkles. Cut into triangles to serve.

The finished product!
