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 […]
Seaweed Cucumber Stars – Fussy Eater Snack Inspiration
December 13, 2011 by
Mid-Morning and Mid-Afternoon, I like to experiment with trying new foods and flavours for my fussy eater’s snacks. Cucumber is a food that Mr 3 DOES eat, so I thought I’d incorporate, well, hide, a new food which is full of nutritional goodness – Seaweed! To put together the Seaweed Cucumber Stars, firstly you’ll need […]
Buffet Style Experiment
December 8, 2011 by
Pin It Do you every find that by the time dinner rolls around your little Darling is exhausted and doesn’t want to sit at the dinner table? I often find it a real challenge to get Noah,3 to actually sit and eat what’s on his plate. So, over the past couple of weeks I have […]
The Lentil Experiment
December 7, 2011 by
Mr 3 is the fuss-pot of the family and aside from chicken nuggets and mini-mince & potato balls, his diet is largely that of a vegetarian. I felt it would be important to try and incorporate some additional rich sources of protein into his diet. Hence, my experimentation with lentils began. I researched into the […]
10 Top Tips for Feeding a Fussy Eater
December 6, 2011 by
Every day I mentally calculate that each of my boys has had a sufficient intake of each food group. Aaron, my 1 year old, is a dream eater – he’ll eat any food and isn’t fussy at all. Noah – my 3 year old, is the complete opposite. There are days where he seems to […]
Farmers Market Forage – Tofu, Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Stir Fry
September 5, 2011 by
I’ve become slightly obsessed with exploring farmers markets. After taking the boys on an outing to one a few months back and discovering the sweetest, juiciest oranges and apples I’ve ever tasted – I was hooked. How could I not want my family to enjoy the sweetest fruits available? Each weekend of the month there’s […]
Pink Milkshake aka Strawberry Smoothie
August 29, 2011 by
For Mr 3’s birthday a month ago, I asked him if he’d like to go out for a milkshake as a treat. His reply – “Yes! I want a Pink Milkshake!” So, on his birthday we treated him to one. We ventured to a cafe for brunch and he proudly ordered his “pink milkshake”. He […]
Cheesy Potato and Parsnip Mash
May 18, 2011 by
I have a confession to make. I am slightly obsessed with Nigella Lawson. I have 6 of her books and cook countless recipes regularly from them. I also have to admit that rather than reading ‘normal’ books about trains and dinosaurs to Mr almost 3, I’m regularly paging through one of Nigella’s books with him, […]
