Cauliflower Soup - boil some frozen cauliflower in chicken broth, blend, add some onion powder, sour cream, bacon pieces and grated cheese. Tomato Soup - use crushed, strained, pure tomatoes in a jar, add some chicken or vegetable broth until desired thickness, add some heavy cream (good fat for her brain), serve with grated cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese. <br />Mildly flavoured turkey chili with beans and tomatoes.<br />Homemade chicken nuggets with a yummy, healthy dipping sauce. So fun to eat!<br />Cottage Berry Whip - 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup berries, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp raw honey - blend. Delicious and nutritious.<br />Homemade chips from a whole wheat wrap, drizzled with coconut oil and some onion powder, broiled and cut into triangles - dip in hummus or guacamole.divadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185277600611550619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974269959880415514.post-27307084626213865062014-09-06T22:24:59.188-04:002014-09-06T22:24:59.188-04:00we also need to stay away from the kitchen so I do...we also need to stay away from the kitchen so I don't give her those snacks that she has started asking for when we're in the kitchen!Annabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788935103942299107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974269959880415514.post-65263373813697397452014-09-06T22:24:12.990-04:002014-09-06T22:24:12.990-04:00HEY!

But yes, I always remember you said this and I think I've been feeding her slightly too early as I get nervous she'll have a grump (because she starts to get kind of grump around 5) and not eat at all. Today I only gave her fruit and half a cracker for her afternoon tea and then I managed to keep her going with the odd frozen pea or corn! and by letting her help me taste what I was preparing, and I just started dinner prep a tiny bit later and she survived. and the tricks of the trade are hard tricks to learn, they just have to be learned and I could go on and on and on!Annabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788935103942299107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974269959880415514.post-64837243535153829702014-09-06T21:20:58.823-04:002014-09-06T21:20:58.823-04:00Ha ha, your list made me laugh, esp. cheese cheese...Ha ha, your list made me laugh, esp. cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese please and peas peas peas peas peas please! My kids esp. like the peas frozen! There was so much food I said I would never cook once I left home...and now I realise why my mum cooked it, because it was easy and we kids ate it! My main tip though is to keep them hungry - then they'll eat anything - so go light on the afternoon tea. My kids went through a stage of just eating huge afternoon teas (crackers and fruit mostly) and then no dinner. Now I really limit afternoon tea and it helps heaps.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991280201379568961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974269959880415514.post-81146276197158929422013-12-23T23:33:48.480-05:002013-12-23T23:33:48.480-05:00That's from Sylvia by the way :]That's from Sylvia by the way :]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974269959880415514.post-56647619463663100002013-12-23T23:33:09.056-05:002013-12-23T23:33:09.056-05:00Sounds fantastic, even the leaky bits!

Things don't take as sweet but are much more healthy because it doesn't have the fructose. Aaron has gone in about 4 belt buckles since we stopped using sugar in our house and just glucose in baking. We also use yacon syrup which is a root vegie when we have it in the garden. You can buy the syrup but it is expensive.
