Homemade Yoghurt

Homemade Yoghurt

Making your own staples like yoghurts and cheese is a great way to reduce packaging. Store this yoghurt in reusable storage containers like our Food Pouches. Be sure to use yoghurt that has live enzymes. Also, be sure to sterilise your jars.

This would go well with your homemade stewed fruit compote.

Keep chilled and use within a week. Be sure to reserve 4 tablespoons to use as a starter for your next batch!

Healthy chicken nuggets

Healthy chicken nuggets

Chicken nuggets get a lot of bad press and usually for good reason. They are often made from poor quality ingredients and stacked with salt and fat. They are often overly targeted at children – featuring a starring role on the “kids” menu in many restaurants (not just fast food joints). It is fair to say that many of these nuggets are just plain crap food. However, it is possible to make delicious homemade healthy chicken nuggets.

Among children chicken nuggets are often revered. The prospect of having them for dinner is often accompanied with squeals of delight. My kids really do love the idea of them. Given how much kids like nuggets, I think it is great to have a standby recipe for homemade healthy chicken nuggets.

Black bean, corn and tomato salad

Black bean, corn and tomato salad

Having an easy standby salad recipes that work with a variety of meals is essential for busy parents. This black bean, corn and tomato salad is easy to prepare and extremely tasty. It is a zingy, colourful, tasty option. Serve at your next family BBQ. This is great with tacos, wraps or pulled pork. 

This is an easy way to add some extra vegetables and colours into your families diet.

Hopefully your little ones will enjoy this salad as much as you do. Most kids seem to like corn, and the beans are just like those in ‘baked beans’ I tell my kids. If your kids don’t like tomatoes you could either leave them out, or chop them to a size where they are easy to fish out. If your kids don’t mind green bits in their food, then you could add in some chopped coriander for an extra flavour dimension.
