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 […]

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 have a confession to make: I LOVE Chocolate Mousse!

My all time Best Chocolate Mousse recipe just has to be from The Cook’s Companion by Stephanie Alexander. […]
