These delicious little bites were adapted from a recipe from Nigella Express. I had a tin of condensed milk in the pantry and had been looking for a “healthy” recipe to include it in, knowing that the sweetness in the little tin would make all other ingredients sing. When I stumbled on this recipe […]

January 26, 2012 by
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 […]

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 13, 2012 by
My fussy eater, Mr 3, will usually only eat chicken in nugget form. After trying and repeatedly offering him roast chicken, chicken kebabs, chicken casserole, chicken meatballs, etc and being met with a firm NO, I decided that I’ll experiment with hiding chicken in some of his favourite foods. So, after making a roast chicken […]
