This recipe will bring back childhood memories! I loved Rice Bubble slice when I was growing up so I created a healthy alternative that tastes just as good. This recipe is free from refined sugar, gluten, dairy and nuts. I hope you love it as much as we do! x

I’m sure most of you remember the traditional Rice Bubble slice from when you were growing up…..?  I definitely do, especially at birthday parties. We all loved it when we were kids.  So I set out to create a healthy alternative that tasted just as good so the kids could enjoy it!  The traditional slice was made up of sugar, butter, honey and rice bubbles so I have substituted these and opted for whole food ingredients that result in a slice that kids both big and small will love.  The perfect wee snack.

This slice is another super simple recipe.  The kids will love helping to prepare it, its a great lunch box snack and its also super tasty – we all enjoy it in our household. Read More

Pregnancy Diet Tips

Finding out you are pregnant is supposed to be an exciting time.  But for some women they find it overwhelming as there is so much information out there about what do, what to eat, and what to avoid – a lot of it is contradictory and confusing and therefore very challenging for expecting Mums to know what to do.

Food is important not only for the development and life of a growing baby but also for the mother.  As a result, a healthy diet should be a priority for the mother.  However, as we all know, it is VERY hard to worry about what we are eating especially in your first trimester when you may be feeling unwell a lot of the time.  Before getting pregnant, many women probably think that when they get pregnant they will eat lots of healthy foods – fruit and veggies, green smoothies etc.   However, when you discover you are pregnant, these thoughts can go out the window depending on how you are feeling.  Many women experience morning sickness through the first trimester (and some beyond) and often the last thing that you feel like are green vegetables.

A healthy kids snack or lunchbox treat. These muffins are full of wholesome ingredients and still ensures the kids tummy's are satisfied. They're also a great snack for the big kids (I love them too)!

Stella loves muffins and I would assume that most other kids do.  We often make this recipe at home so I thought I should share it to all the other mums who’s kids also love muffins.  And its not just for kids, its for the big kids too – my husband and I also enjoy snacking on these.  So they don’t seem to last very long.

AND they are also fun to make with the kiddies.  Stella absolutely loves making these with me, she’s turning into a real foodie. Read More
