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 […]
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! I’ll serve him his lunch and he’ll nibble on his fruit and vegetables but barely touch his sandwiches. I thought, maybe he’s a little […]
Best Chocolate Mousse
September 4, 2012 by
I have a confession to make: I LOVE Chocolate Mousse! It’s my favorite dessert and I have tried every imaginable recipe, from healthy ones with Tofu to rich and sweet ones with ingredients like marshmallows and custard. My all time Best Chocolate Mousse recipe just has to be from The Cook’s Companion by Stephanie Alexander. […]
A Rainbow of Healthy Muffins
August 30, 2012 by
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 […]
Nutritional Yeast French Toast
August 27, 2012 by
This blog is turning into a bit of a French Toast wonderland of late. Recently I shared my unusual (yet delicious!) “Burger French Toast” concoction and now my latest French Toast offering is Nutritional Yeast French Toast. Another delicious dish that also happens to be jam packed with nutritious ingredients in every corner. Like carob, […]
Hash Brown Cake (Potato Kugel)
August 26, 2012 by
My kids ADORE Hash Browns, so I thought I’d treat them to a Traditional Jewish Dish “Potato Kugel”, which is really like a giant Hash Brown which is cooked in the oven. In fact, on seeing the finished dish, Mr 4 decided it was a Hash Brown Cake – so this recipe has two names. […]
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, […]
Life without a Microwave…
August 15, 2012 by
Recently, Our Microwave started making a strained noise that I just didn’t like. We’ve had it for a while now and really need a new one. BUT I have been thinking a lot about it and discussing it with my Husband that maybe we shouldn’t buy a new Microwave, maybe we can do without […]
