We’ve been on The GAPS Diet for almost 2 months already and have completely transitioned into a Grain Free way of life. The kids have adapted really well to our new eating habits and I’m enormously proud of them. Being Grain Free (and steering completely away from processed food of any kind) has meant […]
Veggie Scrambled Eggs – 6 Ways
January 24, 2013 by
Lately, I’ve been making scrambled eggs for the kids in some form or another virtually every day – sometimes for breakfast and sometimes for lunch. I’ve been experimenting with different vegetable inclusions and you know what – they eat (well, demolish!) EVERY Veggie Scrambled Egg offering with no fuss. I’m all for teaching children about […]
Pistachio Cookies
August 17, 2012 by
I made Pistachio Cookies today and they were so unbelievably delicious that I was compelled to come straight to the computer to share the glorious details with you. In our house, Fridays are the one treat day of the week, so I like to try different treat recipes for the family. As I’ve mentioned previously, […]
Quinoa, Oat & Coconut Cookies
August 7, 2012 by
These cookies are homely, wholesome and oh so good for you! They are packed with nutritious ingredients and the whole family just adores them. The nutty flavor of Quinoa gives an incredible depth to these humble cookies, while bringing the nourishment of the super-food. They have been so popular that the past month I have […]
Gluten Free Macaroni Cheese
July 11, 2012 by
We love pasta in our house, and we love cheesy bake dishes even more. Unfortunately, lately we have found that Mr 2’s eczema has worsened with the cold winter weather we are having. We have found though, that the less wheat/gluten he eats, the better his skin is. With that in mind, I’ve been trying […]
Raw Citrus Brownies
July 3, 2012 by
I revealed a few days ago that my family have cut out refined white sugar and highly processed ingredients. So, I have been on the hunt for sweet treats with no sugar and processed ingredients. I came across these Raw Lemon Bars from The Rawtarian. I was instantly in love with them and made them […]
Gluten Free Oat and Apple Cookies
May 10, 2012 by
Through the week, I like to make the kids healthy snacks to keep them going between meals. I find at mealtimes they eat mostly wheat based dishes (including bread, cereals and pasta) – so for their snacks, I like to feed them non-wheat based ingredients – to balance their day out. This includes using nuts […]
Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins
April 29, 2012 by
I’ve been experimenting a lot with Quinoa recently – in the past few weeks I’ve shared recipes for Coconut Chicken with Quinoa and Vegetables and Quinoa Porridge. My latest experiment involved cooking the hearty grain and mixing them into Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins. Quinoa, Corn and Oat Muffins are Gluten Free and Dairy Free, […]
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. Great to be back though enjoying toast for breakfast and being able to feed the kids pasta and sandwiches after 8 days without any. I will miss the flourless baking that comes with Passover, as I’ve […]

To make the Sugarless Coconut Macaroons, you simply beat 3 egg whites until stiff, then fold in 1 and 1/2 cups dessicated coconut, 1/3 cup almond meal and 1/3 cup of honey. Place tablespoons of the mixture onto a greased baking try and bake in a 180°C preheated oven for 15 minutes. The Coconut Macaroons […]
