Some weeks I’m super prepared for school lunches and other weeks, well, I’m putting the oven on and scrambling around throwing ingredients together at 7:30 am to create something delicious to add in. Tuesday morning was one of *those* mornings - which is lucky for you. Because I created the … [Read more...]
The BEST Banana Bread
It’s hard to find a staple banana bread recipe that delivers time after time and isn’t loaded with sugar. When I first tried this recipe by Kristin Cosgrove (who used to be Mamacino.com) it hit every spot. And I never created my own banana bread recipe because I couldn’t top this. So I’d send … [Read more...]
Honey and Oat Biscuits
I love a hearty biscuit. And the first words that came out of my husbands mouth when I delivered him this new creation was, "Yum, these would be great with a coffee". BANG! There's my criteria met - hearty, good with coffee, nut free and wholesome for kids lunch boxes - oh and let's not forget … [Read more...]

Choc-Banana Cake
This cake happened by accident. I didn't have any butter in the fridge (I know - a kitchen without butter!?) and so I googled for a butter-free cake. Thought I'd try something new.... And it did not work out. I know a good batter when I see one, and this wasn't coming together, so I kept … [Read more...]
Ginger Snap Biscuit
Ginger Snaps were something I always loved and have never found a recipe I truly wanted to make time and again. UNTIL NOW!! Woop woop! Now, there’s one crazy ingredient – Backstrap Molasses. I bought it a while ago and it’s been in the pantry and I didn’t use it much – but I experimented with … [Read more...]
Easy White Bean Dip
My son is awesome at eating veggies. My daughter, not so much. It takes a lot of encouragement. So I’m always looking for ways to make them a little more enticing. This is our lunch plate today. I pulled out all the ingredients to make hummus to dip some veggies in but…. no chickpeas! Well … [Read more...]
Zucchini Slice
Honestly – it’s a family staple. It comes in handy ALL THE TIME – I always need a batch frozen in portions in the freezer for those days when I know making dinner at 5:30pm just isn’t going to happen. Pop some in a lunchbox when you’re on the go – oh how versatile is the zucchini slice!! This is … [Read more...]
Miss M’s Jam Drops
My friend Amy made strawberry jam. Jam is not something that we usually have in our pantry. Maybe because I’ve never been a fan, but also because I just can’t get over the amount of sugar in it! But this was homemade, with love, and of course everyone DEVOURED it! When my gorgeous Miss M wanted … [Read more...]
Wholefood Choc Chip Cookies
It's no secret. I'm a cookie lover. I am always experimenting with other people's recipes but thought I needed my own that I could create easily, with ingredients I have on hand and that taste a bit like those massive cookies at cafes that you always promise to eat half of and end up … [Read more...]
