This is my nourishing version of the very unhealthy 'shake and mix' type of pancake mix available in supermarkets. This is great for pancake loving kids, because they can make up their own very easily. It is also far more cost effective than the supermarket version and made completely from good wholesome ingredients. This mix is perfect to take camping as it is all pre-measured in the correct ...

Life has just been so busy lately, my hubby has stepped up and taken on breakfast duties (while I make school lunches).

Peach Ginger Coconut Smoothie

My hubby loves food as much as I do so if we're eating out, he always researches the best places to eat. We figure if we're spending money on eating out, it needs to be well spent.

As I'm always exploring ways to increase nourishment, so adding the avocado is my little twist on the ...

This Superfruit Bowl is one of my son's creations (based on the bowls he sees on cafes menus in town).

He absolutely loves it and because he can't ...

This Mango Macadamia Muesli is sweetened with pureed fruit which makes for a crispy crunchy granola that my whole family adores.
