For example, buckwheat pancakes ☺️

🍴1 bag of buckwheat "Uvelka"
🍴1 Courgette (medium)
🍴2 Eggs
🍴3-4 tablespoons flour
🍴1 teaspoon paprika
🍴0,25 teaspoon black pepper
🍴¼ teaspoon salt 🍴Vegetable oil (for frying)
🍴Sausage or ham- 150-200 g (you can use any other filling)

Instruction:
🥣 Cook the porridge from 1 bag of «Uvelka” following the instraktion on the pack
🥣 Grate the zucchini, chop the buckwheat porridge in a blender, then mix.
🥣 Add raw eggs, salt, spices and flour.
🥣 Knead dough from all ingredients using a spoon. The dough should be smooth like for pancakes.
🥣Cut the sausage or ham.
🥣 In a frying pan, heat the oil and put a tablespoon of the dough. In the middle of each pancake put some sausage (or other stuffing).
🥣 Cover the sausage with another spoon of dough and fry on both sides.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
