Dairy and Egg Free Savoury Pancakes

I'm trying to come up with ingenious recipes to use the vegetables out of the garden.  I made pancakes for lunch the other day for the family as I wanted to use up the huge Courgette out of the garden and had run out of eggs.  These were delicious and easy, and a great way to get veges into the little ones!

1 Cup Flour

1 Cup Soda Water

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 1/2 Tbsp Rice Bran Oil (or any other oil you have)

1/2 Cup Rice Milk

1 Grated Courgette

Fillings of your choice - I used mushroom, tomato and ham

Mix all ingredients together except for the fillings, pour into an oiled pan, when bubbles form place in the fillings then flip in half, fry until cooked. Yum!

New Products I Love!

Thought I'd just do a shout out for a few new products that have graced the supermarket shelves lately that I've been impressed with


San Remo Wholemeal Pasta range, I cant rave about this enough, not only does it taste great (adults and children would not know the difference from normal pasta), the price is reasonable too.  It comes in Penne, Spaghetti and Lasagna, yum!  San Remo also do really reasonably priced Organic range.  Available currently at Countdown


Vileda Naturals range of cleaning sponges and scourers, my favorite is the Vileda Naturals All Purpose Scouring Sponge, I loved their normal 3 in 1 Scourer, but this is brilliant (I must say I was skeptical, but it proved me wrong!)  Its made from renewable and recycled materials – corundum, cellulose, recycled bottle flakes and coconut shell abrasives.


Sistema have just started making a range of baby plasticware that is not only BPA Free but also Phalate free and the price is fantastic!   I picked some food storage containers and a sippy cup - but the range is extensive. Currently available from Countdown supermarkets.
