Over the past year, I’ve slowly been accumulating Bento Lunchbox Supplies and my storage hasn’t quite kept up. This has meant my kitchen benchtop/tabletop has slowly been overtaken by cute food picks and mini cookie cutters! So, here is the before photo (eek!)… As you can see, it’s a bit of a jumbled mess, overflowing […]
Kiwi and Cucumber Salad
May 2, 2012 by
I put together this instant salad as a result of a few kiwi fruit needing to be used QUICK! I thought it would be interesting to enjoy them in a healthy salad. You simply combine 3 chopped kiwi fruits, 1 whole cucumber (also chopped) and half a finely diced red onion. And Voila! You 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, […]
Creamy Mushroom Soup
April 27, 2012 by
Growing up, my Granny lived in a Hotel which served the most amazing Mushroom Soup in their restaurant. It was the treat of my week to visit her and share a meal in the restaurant with my family. The soup I remember was creamy, but not too rich and had a perfectly balanced mushroom […]
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 […]
Coconut Chicken with Quinoa & Vegetables
April 25, 2012 by
I’ve enjoyed experimenting with Quinoa the past few weeks. I made Quinoa Porridge the other week and have also prepared a Quinoa Salad, which looked good, but I’m not 100% happy with the outcome, taste wise, so I’m going to experiment a little further before sharing the recipe with you. This Coconut Chicken with Quinoa […]
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 […]
