While updating my recipe index recently, I noticed that I have shared more muffin recipes than any other yummy dish. So, I thought I’d put together a “best of” post, so you can enjoy a colourful variety of muffins together in one place. I love muffins because they are a yummy, healthy treat and I […]
3 Ingredient Tzatziki
July 22, 2012 by
Recently I discovered that Mr 2 LOVES Tzatziki! We had some friends around and I put together a simple veggie platter, along with some (store bought) Tzatziki for dipping. Mr 2 proceeded to eat the majority of the Tzatziki by dipping vegetable after vegetable into the yummy dip. Inspired by his new-found Tzatziki love, I […]
Popcorn and Peanut Butter Cupcakes
June 20, 2012 by
Warning!! These Popcorn and Peanut Butter Cupcakes are terribly addictive… they are salty and sweet, crunchy and gooey… and you WILL find it a challenge to stop at just one. (but don’t let that stop you from indulging in these heavenly treats…) I’ve made the ‘sauce’ for this recipe a number of time and have […]
Berry Banana Smoothie
May 1, 2012 by
The boys LOVE yoghurt, and have at least a serve a day. Mr 22 months insists on feeding himself and making a GIANT mess in the process. So, on days when I prefer to keep him free of a head to toe yoghurty coating, I pop his yoghurt into an easily drinkable smoothie instead – […]
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, […]
Instant Raspberry Ice Cream
April 26, 2012 by
The other day, out of nowhere, Mr 3 asked for Ice Cream. I haven’t made him Ice-Cream in months and it’s getting colder and colder here in Australia, so I’m not sure what prompted his request. Not having any Ice Cream in the freezer, I thought I’d experiment and whip him up some instant ice […]
Healthy Kids Snack – Wordless Wednesday
April 25, 2012 by
Each Wordless Wednesday I tend to do more “talking” than I should, (like in last week’s WW Quinoa Porridge Post!) So this week it’s all about the photo – a healthy kids snack of rice crackers sandwiched with Avocado and Spinach Spread. Healthy and Simple! Remember, I’m hosting the 1st ever “Breakfast Ideas Mondays“. If […]
Zucchini and Banana Muffins
April 23, 2012 by
When making baked treats for the boys, I like to include a fruit or vegetable in the recipe. They way, their morning or afternoon snack adds just a little to their daily fruit and vegetable intake. These Zucchini and Banana Muffins contain both a fruit and a vegetable. They also happen to be moist and […]
Honey Roasted Chickpeas
April 22, 2012 by
These Honey Roasted Chickpeas (also known as Garbanzo Beans) are incredibly nutritious, full of fiber, protein and are dangerously addictive! Not just for me, I witnessed Mr 22 Months grab HANDFULS and shovel them in his mouth – I couldn’t help but giggle because he looked like a little squirrel with nuts stored in his […]
Good For Your Skin – Walnut and Cranberry Cookies
April 11, 2012 by
Mr 21 Months has mild eczema. He gets little rashes that come and go in patches on his back and face. I have been to my GP and been referred to a Pediatrician and Dermatologist – all of whom have told me he will grow out of it “one day” and when it gets inflamed […]
