GOOD FOOD, GOOD NUTRITION, GOOD EATING, GREAT LIFE.
SUNFLOWER BUTTER©2013 Foxy Food With school being nut free and our love for an easy, quick sandwich spread that not only has flavour but some nutritional benefit, we have previously bought the sunflower butter from the supermarket. I must say, I don’t like it, the girls do but I also don’t see why it needs … Read moreSunflower Butter
I’ve just finished my packet of baking powder. This is good one one hand (means I’ve been baking – I’ve been experimenting with biscuits with varying degrees of success) not so good on the other (I want to bake but don’t want to go and buy any!) So, what can I do? Simple! I have some … Read moreBaking Powder
Sultana and Cinnamon Pikelets These school friendly pikelets have a good dash of cinnamon which is thought to be good for circulation and for maintaining stable blood sugars – it also tastes great! They are sweet but contain no processed powdered sugar. I made them with goat milk but we have found rice and oat … Read moreSultana and Cinnamon Pikelets
Zucchini Frittatas The girls LOVE frittatas for lunch at school so these are the latest ones. I used to do quiches with shortcrust or filo pastry but we discovered the pastry would go soggy in the lunch box. Amy will only eat zucchinis if they are grated and when they are she loves them. I’ve … Read moreLunch Box Zucchini Frittatas
As if this time of year isn’t busy enough, we had to go and have 2 children in January! At least now the parties are all over, the school year can start and I can get my business really up and running, especially since Sophie starts school this year!! So once again, they could decide … Read moreBirthday Baking
I have finally settled on a recipe for a basic cake and icing. The cake can be made dairy free by substituting the butter for a dairy free spread. I have found the Nuttelex Kosher to be fabulous! It makes a wonderfully light and fluffy cake. The same can not be said for using it … Read moreBasic Cake and Icing Recipes
Spiced Biscuits We were running low on food in the house and Mum was calling in for a cup of tea. Time to make some biscuits! With limited staples in the pantry, I think these turned out really well and will become a regular I think! The spices can be adjusted to taste, the pattern … Read moreSpiced Biscuits
Creamy Butter Bean Pasta I subscribe to Sanitarium‘s recipe of the week and a while ago, the recipe was for a Creamy Butter Bean Pasta. I love creamy pastas but since Sophie can’t have cow dairy, we have been limited in what we can make. Having discovered oat milk with goat cheese makes a great … Read moreCreamy Butter Bean Pasta
Father’s Day Breakfast – Baked Eggs It’s that time of year again when we get the children to “help” make Daddy breakfast; one that is easy enough for them but still nice. Since I have been experimenting with eating eggs again, this year we decided on baked eggs; spinach and tomato topped with an egg … Read moreFather’s Day Breakfast – Baked Eggs
Snack Balls ©Belinda Fox My inspiration for these snack balls has come from my horror at the list of ingredients in commercial muesli bars and the like. I was looking to make something with all natural ingredients for the girls to take to school / pre-school as well as something to have as a satisfying … Read moreSnack Balls
