Let us be honest, potato chips are quite irresistible. However, heavy processing of them has effectively rendered a favourite snack or side dish with very little nutrients and a few nasties in there.

This recipe of mine is not fancy by any measure but turns our humble potato, skin still on into a homemade version which will be gobbled up (by big and little people) in seconds flat!

I love making vegetable dips...I do not get a lot of time now in the kitchen (especially on my own!) but making a vegetable based dip is something which I can whip up fairly easily and is not too delicate for when I have little helpers. This cauliflower dip is nice and light a fluffy so makes for a good lunch box addition. You can easily adjust the other ingredients or add a bit more extra virgin...

This is a ridiculously super simple recipe - literally made with three ingredients which is a great way to explore egg (and leafy greens for the matter) for little ones. Some babies struggle with the texture of egg so this is something a bit different which is grain free and dairy free. You can adapt this to include pretty much any vegetable, and feel free to add some herbs as well.

Now I know I had you at the title of this recipe but I feel that I may just need to reassure you a bit more that these 'energy bombs' are indeed not just enticing but also good for you!

These are what you would call high fat - they are very much packed full of good fat from peanut butter, coconut oil and butter. There has been a lot of emerging research around the importance of fat - including...

A warm smoothie can really cheer up chilly winter mornings! For little ones who are struggling with colds this might also be something a little different which can help soothe sore throats. The ginger and natural probiotics in the yoghurt can also help boost immune systems. Just a note on the almonds - the Nutri Bullet is pretty powerful and can easily blend whole nuts but you could always use...

I simply love cup cakes. Once upon a time before little monkeys were on the scene I would spend hoursmaking cup cakes and decorating them...yes hours! My husband was in the force at the time and his crew would always happily benefit from my creations. If you can imagine an officer carrying in a cake holder full of beautifully decorated cup cakes for night shift you can imagine why. The only wee...

This recipe takes the old-school gummie bears and turns them into a immune boosting healthy hit! Made from foods designed by mother nature to help us ward off and fight germs including lemons, oranges and boysenberries - which also give these gummies a wonderful colour. Honey provides a dash of extra sweetness, helps to ease sore throats and has anti-inflammatory properties of it's own. Finally...

Looking for a super easy, healthy dessert that does not require any preparation?

My take on an Eton Mess using my favourite Nairns Oat Biscuits will tick all those boxes!

Your traditional Eton Mess uses meringue....aside from the fact it does not have a lot of good stuff in it, I am just not a huge fan of meringue at all (sorry for those that are!). In this recipe I replace meringue with the Mixed...

A very hearty, wholesome meal which all family members can enjoy! This recipe is very high in iron with the inclusion of beef, chickpeas, some green leafy vegetables. I discuss more about the importance of iron for all family members over on my next blog. A casserole is a true classic and this version has a real taste kick with the Cajun spices, red onion and capsicum, without it being super hot...

The title says it all! Peanut buttery goodness with banana and blueberries (a match made in heaven) created into little muffin morsels which are gluten free, dairy free and sugar free!



This recipe is made with coconut flour so is totally gluten and wheat-free and the blueberries provide just that little bit of sweetness. This is a perfect snack option for little ones, including infants as there are...

Do you have any foods or meals that are on your bucket list? By bucket list I mean that list of 'it would be nice to try and make some day when I have more time, energy and kind of know what I am doing?'. Well ribs has been one of my 'bucket list' meals. My husband loves them and the boys have always enjoyed them when we have eaten out together. As a #mumofboys I thought it high time that I had a...
