Last week this fabulous book arrived in my mail box with a note attached from the lovely ladies at Kiwi Mummy Blogs asking if I could review it. Now, those that know me and know me well would know that asking me to hop on in the kitchen and get creating is a chance I always jump at and this was no exception. How could I say No? Well, I couldn't.. This book is written by Bex and Suzi from Little Cooks and is about getting kids in the kitchen; having fun with food and making everyday … [Read more...]

Bubba Bites – Muesli Teething Biscuits
I first made these tasty little morsels for Sebastian back when he started teething, so about seven months ago and made batches of them as they store really well.

Bolognese Pinwheels
The last month as been a pretty busy one for the Ritchie household with birthdays, fathers day, a hens party and wedding etc... This has meant there has been a need for lots of quick, easy on the table in half an hour dinners that we can all (including Sebastian) eat.
