A few of my favourite kitchen things!


Well, its been a while since I've been on here, about 2 years in fact, that's how old my middle boy will be in a few weeks, and that's why I've been too busy to blog about all things green, environmental, sustainable and organic - all the things which I love and strive for.  But things are hectic in this house of rascal boys - 3 of them in fact, the youngest is nearly 6 months and it doesn't get busier than having 3 under 5 - well in fact it could but lets not go there.

So to get back into the swing of things I thought I would start out with a few of my favourite things at the moment!

Hilary Foods Peanut Plus+ and Hilary Foods Cereal and Nuggets, we were lucky enough to trial both these products and they are a winner.  The banana and honey cereal has protein from 3 sources which is fantastic for fast growing little bodies (and big ones!) and they are super tasty with or without milk.  Hillary Peanut+ combines peanuts, grains and honey along with added vitamins and minerals with crunchy bran crisps to boost crunch and fibre, it is totally different from any other Peanut butter I have ever tried, and its yummy!! 

The other product I am loving in this hot hot weather are Zooey Freeze Pops, which are BPA free (always a must for me!) ice block mold they give a decent amount of ice block and the holder is perfect for little hands, big enough to grasp and catch all the drips, one of my best treats for the boys is to make a green smoothie with spirulina, coconut water, banana and spinach out of the garden, any left over gets frozen into these molds, its a healthy and yummy treat on a hot summers day!
