Happy Australia Day! The weather here in Melbourne is perfect – not too hot or cold, just sunny, clear and warm! For Melbourne that’s a real treat, it’s more often one extreme or the other! To celebrate the glorious day, we took the boys down to a park in South Melbourne on the beach and […]
Chocolate Chunk And Lemon Muffins
January 23, 2012 by
About once a week I try to bake with my boys. I do try to cook as healthy treats as possible, so while this recipe does have chocolate chunks in it, it’s very low in sugar (only half a cup) and there’s no butter, just 1/4 of a cup of oil. As an alternative to […]

January 20, 2012 by
We were home today for lunch, so, inspired by Bento of the Week, I decided to have a play with a green themed lunch and made a Frog on a Pond of Peas for Mr 3’s enjoyment! To make your own pond, you need a Frog Shaped Cookie Cutter to cut a Froggy Shape out […]
My 1st Kinder Lunch Box
January 19, 2012 by
Today’s a special day, this morning I dropped Mr 3 off at Kinder for his very first day, and I prepared for him my/his very 1st Kinder/School Lunch Box. The very first of many, many, many years of lunches. Of course I took photos and of course I just had to share it with you. […]
Strawberry Pavlova
January 18, 2012 by
Pavlova is crunchy and sweet and usually covered in cream and high in calories. Simply follow your favorite pavlova recipe (it’s basically a mix of beaten egg whites, sugar, vinegar and a bit of cornflour), though I only use about a third to half the amount of sugar and it’s always sweet enough! I top […]

January 17, 2012 by
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 […]
Date, Almond & Cranberry Balls – Wordless Wednesday
January 11, 2012 by
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
January 6, 2012 by
This is the simplest, yummiest salad. The colours highlight the brightness of summer to me. I make it through the year, but with the heatwave we’ve had in Melbourne in the past week, I have made this salad a couple of times, to keep us nourished with a refreshing, yet fulfilling salad. I have to […]
French Toast with Avocado
December 29, 2011 by
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 […]
