Yesterday was both boys last day of school/kinder/care so they are now both home with me full time for the next while. I’m looking forward to getting up to cooking adventures and going on family outings over the summer break, like visit Melbourne City and Melbourne Zoo. After posting my Top 10 Bento Lunch Boxes […]

November 11, 2012 by
To GAPS Or Not To GAPS? My Husband and I are seriously thinking about moving our family onto The GAPS Diet to heal a number of lingering health issues. Firstly, for those of you who haven’t yet heard of The GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Diet, here’s a brief outline of the history of how […]
Salmon Patties
October 19, 2012 by
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 […]

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 […]

Teddy Sandwich Bento Lunch Box
September 7, 2012 by
Mr 2 is the foodie in my family, eating almost anything he is served. Sometimes though, he can be a little fussy. Lately he’s been fussy with, of all things, sandwiches!

This has meant my kitchen benchtop/tabletop has slowly been overtaken by cute food picks and mini cookie cutters! So, here is the before photo (eek!)… As you can see, it’s a bit of a jumbled mess, overflowing […]
