Following on from yesterday’s Breakfast in a Jar, and your comments on struggling with organizing a healthy family breakfast, I thought I’d share another fun Breakfast Idea with you for a little extra inspiration. This Quinoa Porridge is positively simple to prepare, so simple in fact that I can do it in a “Wordless Wednesday” […]

Breakfast in a Jar
April 17, 2012 by
The kids can get a little bored with daily cereal and milk for breakfast, as I mentioned in my Breakfast Muffin Tin Meal post. I’m always on the lookout for new breakfast ideas, so when I saw the cute “Breakfast in a Jar” concept doing the rounds on Pinterest I just knew I had to […]
Avocado and Spinach Sandwich Spread
April 16, 2012 by
Mr 3 is the Picky Eater of the family. He will politely, yet sternly turn his nose up at foods presented that are not part of his favorite foods list. As mentioned previously, he LOVES avocado, which on it’s own is full of nutritious goodness. I make him plain avocado sandwiches for lunch more often […]
Gluten-Free Chocolate & Strawberry Brownies
April 15, 2012 by
Passover is now over for another year and we indulged in more than our share of yummy Passover treats.

Purple Carrot Soup
April 10, 2012 by
Recently, my Sister introduced me to Purple Carrots. She generously gave me a packet and told me that they have loads of anti-oxidants and anti-cancer qualities. I hadn’t heard of purple carrots before and discovered that they cook and taste just like “normal” orange carrots – but make EVERYTHING they cook with completely purple. My […]
Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins
April 9, 2012 by
These Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins are also Kosher for Passover, which is what lead me to come up with a recipe for muffins that the boys can have for snacks and meals during the Passover period. These are full of wholesome and nutritious ingredients – ground almonds, pumpkin and eggs. The perfect solution when you […]
Full Pantry Clean Out
