Homemade Pita Chips – Fussy Eater Snack

These homemade Pita Chips is a healthy snack for Fussy Eaters. They are super easy to make, a fun activity to do with the kids and best of all they are WAY better for you than a regular bag of chips! We are at the tail end of summer holidays here in Australia, and I’ve […]

Picky Eater Trick – Peanut Butter on Toast with Hidden Chicken

My fussy eater, Mr 3, will usually only eat chicken in nugget form. After trying and repeatedly offering him roast chicken, chicken kebabs, chicken casserole, chicken meatballs, etc and being met with a firm NO, I decided that I’ll experiment with hiding chicken in some of his favourite foods. So, after making a roast chicken […]

Date, Almond & Cranberry Balls – Wordless Wednesday

Wanting to prepare something yummy, yet healthy, for my little ones, I threw 2 cups of pitted dates, 1 and a half cups of slivered almonds and 3/4 cup of cranberries into the food processor. I then drizzled 2 tablespoons of honey over the mixture, to add a bit of familiar sweetness and help bind […]

Beetroot & Lentil Yummy Summery Salad

This is the simplest, yummiest salad. The colours highlight the brightness of summer to me.

I have to […]

French Toast with Avocado

I was going to call this post “Mr 3 Ate Eggs Again – Whoohoo!!!”, because that’s just what this French Toast with Avocado Post is all about. You see, Mr 3 has been an avid egg eater. In fact he’s eaten eggs a couple of times each week – that was, until a couple of […]

To put together the Seaweed Cucumber Stars, firstly you’ll need […]

Buffet Style Experiment

Pin It Do you every find that by the time dinner rolls around your little Darling is exhausted and doesn’t want to sit at the dinner table? I often find it a real challenge to get Noah,3 to actually sit and eat what’s on his plate. So, over the past couple of weeks I have […]

The Lentil Experiment

Mr 3 is the fuss-pot of the family and aside from chicken nuggets and mini-mince & potato balls, his diet is largely that of a vegetarian. I felt it would be important to try and incorporate some additional rich sources of protein into his diet. Hence, my experimentation with lentils began. I researched into the […]

10 Top Tips for Feeding a Fussy Eater

Every day I mentally calculate that each of my boys has had a sufficient intake of each food group. Aaron, my 1 year old, is a dream eater – he’ll eat any food and isn’t fussy at all. Noah – my 3 year old, is the complete opposite. There are days where he seems to […]

Farmers Market Forage – Tofu, Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Stir Fry

I’ve become slightly obsessed with exploring farmers markets. After taking the boys on an outing to one a few months back and discovering the sweetest, juiciest oranges and apples I’ve ever tasted – I was hooked.
