Teriyaki Kebabs

These Teriyaki Kebabs are so deliciously irresistible that even my fussy eater, Mr 4, who could give or take his meat meals, LOVES them! It’s now one of his favorite dishes and he regularly asks for it! Maybe it’s the sweetness of the teriyaki sauce or maybe it’s the fun of pulling the pieces of […]

Potato and Leek Hash Browns

Today’s recipe continues on with the theme of Jewish Inspired Food. Last week I shared Salmon Patties (a recipe which started it’s life as the infamous Jewish Dish – Gefilta Fish). This week I bring you Potato and Leek Hash Browns – adapted (quite liberally!) from Claudia Roden’s recipe for Latkes in The Book of […]

Salmon Patties

I’m always looking for ways to include more fish in our regular diet, in addition to favorites like Fish Poached in Milk or this yummy Tuna Gratin. So, I bought a tin of Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon and went on the hunt for some inspiration. After a little searching, I found a recipe for the […]

Breakfast Ideas for Kids & Mango Yoghurt Recipe

How is your October Unprocessed going? I feel it’s great to have a month to focus on consciously making better food choices. I’ve been enjoying experimenting with breakfast ideas for the kids – having been a cereal addicted family in the past, it’s refreshing to enjoy something different most mornings – and the kids are […]

Blueberry Bliss Smoothie

The generous people over at Groupon sent me a Gift Voucher to treat myself to anything from their large array of products/services available on their highly addictive website. After an enjoyable time searching, I was excited to find a product called “Shake ‘n Take”, which is a genius invention for making shakes/smoothies to enjoy on […]

Banana & Sweet Potato Treat

Now that Mr 4 is open to enjoying more and more foods, it’s inspired me to get even more creative with the foods I offer him. With him openly eating more and more vegetables, I’m finding fun ways to incorporate his new favorite flavors into some old favorites – like this little gem I came […]

Former Fussy Eater Update & Fish Poached in Milk

The past week has been somewhat monumental – my once fussy Mr 4 has started eating more and more new foods. Maybe it was the little reward chart we followed a couple of weeks back, or maybe it was following a number of valuable pieces of advice from French Kids Eat Everything: How Our Family […]

5 Raw Sweet Treats

With the first weekend of October Unprocessed approaching, I thought I’d share 5 Raw Sweet Treats for you to enjoy. For me, weekends are usually a time of indulgence and this weekend will be no different. I have a batch of Coconut Crack Bars in the fridge and shortly I’ll be heading back into the […]

Homemade Popcorn

We Love, Love, Love Popcorn in our house. In fact through both my pregnancies I ate bowlful after bowlful of popcorn (through my first pregnancy I think I lived on it!) – so the boys were even enjoying the healthy snack before they were born! I admit that in the past most Popcorn we ate […]

Banana & Coconut Bread

A friend of mine sent me the link to a Banana Cake Recipe which she said was so good that when she made it for a friend of hers, she ate the whole cake before the friend even had a chance to try it!  That was a good enough reason for me to gather together […]
