Chocolate Granola Bars
Looking for something fun to make with the kids this holiday?
Quick, easy and full of goodness. You can also sneak almost anything into these bars and kids would never know!
My lil ones had such fun making these, eating most of the mixture and spilling heaps on the floor, but they loved the experience.
They enjoyed these so much they fought over the last square … was it wrong of me to take it away for fighting and have it for myself?

Beetroot Hummus Dip
I thought the taste of beetroot would overpower the flavours of the classic hummus, but my boys and I agree we much prefer the slightly sweeter taste of beetroot hummus. The hot pink colour makes a bright addition to any plate or rainbow bowl, and is a delicious...
Classic Hummus
In their earlier years, the only way I could encourage my boys to eat raw vegetables was to serve cucumber and carrot sticks with a big dollop of hummus on their plate. It was getting costly, so I started making my own hummus, and later, my own tahini. There is always...
