We’re counting down the sleeps to school now, and going to bed early again after two weeks (really feels like two years) of late nights, parties and plenty of excitement. So today was a day of rest until my little one reminded me that she needed new shoes. So we braved the shops this afternoonContinue reading “Simple Pasta Napoletana, Shopping & Vote Organic!”

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs…
Kids love Meatballs! It’s another food that could contain literally anything as far as they are concerned (and depending where they come from its possible they do)… but home-made it’s possible that they’re full of good nourishment, love and a few hidden extras if you like? This recipe is very simple, it makes 18 meatballsContinue reading “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs…”

Superfood makes Superheroes, Quick Fix Pasta & Home made Pesto
Pesto pasta is a regular 5pm meal fix in our house. Especially when we get home at 4.30, after football, ballet or an afternoon at the park.

Cheap as Chips with Bestival Sauce
This is a great side or snack… The kids love it and I love picking on it when they have it! Using olive oil, and cutting out any dehydrated potato or additional starch or flavour that can be found in commercial potato products, these take 25 minutes in the oven.

Vegan Bircher Muesli in a Kilner Jar
I love a ‘Bircher’… I first had it in the health food cafe in Byron Bay (Australia), so have a habit of saying it in a pretty bad Aussie accent! This vegan version suits me though, I’m just not keen on milk and love the taste of coconut milk. I think it’d be just asContinue reading “Vegan Bircher Muesli in a Kilner Jar”
