The past week has been somewhat monumental – my once fussy Mr 4 has started eating more and more new foods. Maybe it was the little reward chart we followed a couple of weeks back, or maybe it was following a number of valuable pieces of advice from French Kids Eat Everything: How Our Family […]
5 Raw Sweet Treats
October 5, 2012 by
With the first weekend of October Unprocessed approaching, I thought I’d share 5 Raw Sweet Treats for you to enjoy. For me, weekends are usually a time of indulgence and this weekend will be no different. I have a batch of Coconut Crack Bars in the fridge and shortly I’ll be heading back into the […]
Homemade Popcorn
October 3, 2012 by
We Love, Love, Love Popcorn in our house. In fact through both my pregnancies I ate bowlful after bowlful of popcorn (through my first pregnancy I think I lived on it!) – so the boys were even enjoying the healthy snack before they were born! I admit that in the past most Popcorn we ate […]
Banana & Coconut Bread
October 1, 2012 by
A friend of mine sent me the link to a Banana Cake Recipe which she said was so good that when she made it for a friend of hers, she ate the whole cake before the friend even had a chance to try it! That was a good enough reason for me to gather together […]
October Unprocessed
September 27, 2012 by
October Unprocessed is a challenge initiated by Andrew at Eating Rules. I love the premise of this challenge – to really think about what we’re eating and make changes for the better. Whether it’s for the whole month or a couple of days, and whether it’s 100% unprocessed or mostly unprocessed and with some exceptions […]
How To Get Your Fussy Eater To Try New Foods
September 24, 2012 by
It’s no secret that Mr 4 is my fussy eater – he is the inspiration behind me starting this blog, to help other parents of fussy eaters cope and keep their fussy eater nourished. This journey has taken a couple of detours along the way (including me going back to study at University to become […]
Polenta Biscotti
September 21, 2012 by
I’ve had a bag of Polenta staring at me from the pantry for a little while, so I decided to look up what interesting dishes I can cook with the ingredient. The first dish I cooked was Polenta Biscotti. This was my first attempt at making Biscotti of any description and I was incredibly happy […]
Prahran Market – Organic Finds
September 19, 2012 by
The other day I took the kids for an outing to Prahran Market – a Melbourne Market I visit regularly. I LOVE the Organic Produce available and the kids love the playground. So, it’s an outing with minimum fuss and maximum enjoyment for all. A quick side note – when I first moved to Melbourne […]
Roast Chicken "Convenience" Meal
September 17, 2012 by
When I’m pressed for time my “Convenience” Meal for Mr 2 is to Roast a pack or two of Chicken Drumsticks (Legs) because I know it’s a nutritious meal he will gobble down and there will also be enough leftovers for a couple of days worth of meals. (plus a number of portions I […]
Natural Cold Remedies
September 10, 2012 by
Over the past month my family have “shared” a cold from one member to the next. Thankfully nothing severe, just a bit of a runny nose here and a little cough there, but enough to feel the need for some natural remedy to help recover. I tend to avoid medication if possible, instead treating […]
