    Heya,

    Looks delish! but regarding almond meal (I assume it is some sort of finely ground almond mix?) is there something I could use instead if I don't have it?

    Yes depending of packaging it can also be called ground almonds - you could just try a bit of extra flour, the ground almonds just help to boost the protein content of the muffins:)

    These look great. How long do they last for? Would they be suitable for freezing?

    Very suitable for freezing!! Makes for a very easy breakfast. I have even taken them for myself and master 2 frozen and by lunch time they have defrosted on their own!

Spiced Meat Loaf

This is a little taster for you of one of the most popular recipes from my first cook book, Healthy Easy Dinners for Busy Mums. This meat loaf is an old school recipe with a bit of jazz. The spices and herbs can be easily adjusted to your liking and according to what you have in the cupboard. This can be made in the morning and re-heated for dinner and any leftovers make a great lunch option. Ingredients: 500 grams mince (beef or lamb would work best) 1 Egg 2 carrots grated 5 button mushrooms chopped finely 1 small red onion finely chopped 1 tbsp each of crushed garlic and ginger 1 tsp crushed chilli (optional) 4 tbsp chopped fresh coriander ¼ Cup fresh parsley (can also add dried) Salt and pepper to taste Topping 3 tbsp of rolled oats (optional) 3 tbsp of tomato sauce (I recommend Get Real Food sauces) 2 tbsp of chopped parsley and coriander Ground pepper to your liking Method: 1.

Homemade Boysenberry Gummies

Image
This recipe takes the old-school gummie bears and turns them into a immune boosting healthy hit! Made from foods designed by mother nature to help us ward off and fight germs including lemons, oranges and boysenberries - which also give these gummies a wonderful colour. Honey provides a dash of extra sweetness, helps to ease sore throats and has anti-inflammatory properties of it's own. Finally the gelatine is the surprise ingredient here which not only hold everything together but there is now a lot of research to show it actively helps to reduce inflammation. For those that are vegetarian there are now also gelatine options for you too in most local supermarkets. Ingredients: 1 cup of frozen boysenberries (or other berries is fine too!) Juice from 1 lemon Juice from 1/2 an orange 2 tablespoons of honey 2 x 10g packets of gelatine   Directions: 1. Place the boysenberries into a blender and squeeze in the lemon and orange juice. I find it helpful to slightly warm the berries for 30

Starting Solids - The Meat Question?

Image
How to introduce meat to babies is something that I see a lot of parents unsure about and there is not a lot of information on why this is really important. In my previous blog on starting solids, I discussed some crucial reasons why I do not recommend starting babies on baby rice (or variation of infant cereal). I also spoke about starting off on a staple vegetable such as pumpkin or kumara, quickly followed by a meat source. The key reason for this is due to babies iron levels. Breast milk contains only low (or little levels) of iron, and to compensate babies are born with sufficient iron stores to last up until approximately six months of age, after which it drastically drops off. This is why the recommendation is for babies to start complimentary feeding at six months of age. Adding to the current whirlpool of information we are seeing some research to suggest (as well as guidelines from some health care providers) starting babies at four months on solids. Babies develop at differ
