There are some meals that we all the time, but there are some meals on our menu that are seasonal. When spring rolls around my kids are excited by the return off a few of their favourite spring/summer meals. Planning seasonal meals is a good way to rotate menu items, and it fits better with […]
Sweet Yoghurt Dip with Apple and Cinnamon Muesli Sticks
We switched to daylight-saving time on the weekend. I love daylight-saving time, there is something about it being light until after dinner that just says ‘summer’ and I really can’t wait till summer is actually here. What I don’t love is the first few days back to school after we put those clocks forward and […]
Easy Olive Dip Recipe.
Whenever my kids are home from school I brace myself for the onslaught… “I’m hungry” “What can I eat?” “I’m starving!” They never seem to eat what’s in their lunch box at school but on weekends and school holidays I can never keep the fruit bowl full for more than a day, and I feel […]

Kids Can Cook – Pita Chips
I first shared this super simple recipe way back in 2010, and it’s been one of my most popular recipes ever since, so it’s time for an update. I’m pretty sure I know why it’s so popular, it’s a combination of two things – they are delicious, and they are the perfect thing for little […]
Simple Yoghurt Dip
There are two things that I make nearly every single week – homemade muesli bars and youghurt dip. I make a big batch of simple garlic and mint yoghurt dip every, single, week. You’d think my kids would be sick of it by now, but nope. If I skip out on making it boy do […]
