From the Munch Cupboard ~ Munch Eco Straws

Did you know the humble single use plastic straw takes 500 years to breakdown? Nope - me neither!

From The Munch Cupboard ~ Healthy Kids Cookbook

I love it when you come across a cookbook and when thumbing through it for the first time you  want to bookmark nearly each and every recipe - that has to be a good sign.. right?!? Well, that is exactly what happened within minutes when the 'Healthy Kids Cookbook' came across my desk, thanks Munch. The 'Healthy Kids Cookbook' takes cooking back to basics. The recipes are made from everyday household ingredients, nothing fancy, so there will be no last minutes dashes to … [Read more...]
