Preparing for Christmas
Oscars Mum
I have been off-line for the past month, moving house and preparing to demolish our old house, and now that’s out of the way it’s time to prepare for Christmas. And it’s coming in fast! Last year I did lots of baking and preparation for Christmas, but there’s no time for that this year. Plus… Read more

Lunch Box Wednesday #9
Oscars Mum
Two more ideas for the lunch box this month. Once again they come from reusing left overs, so they will save time and additional effort. Pancakes are a once a month breakfast regular in our house, but I always end up with left over batter. I usually keep it in the fridge for later, but… Read more

Oscars Mum

Meat Pies and Sausage Rolls are such an Aussie thing to have on Grand Final, and with the forecast including hail tomorrow, very appropriate! So here are my favourite recipes for such an occasion. Go Hawks! Chicken Sausage… Read more

Lunch Box Wednesday #8 – Mountain Bread Parcels
Oscars Mum

Rather than skip this month’s lunch box week, I thought I would go through my archives and put together a list… Read more

The location is still up in the air pending other family commitments. But I’m not worried, we’ve had three Christmas Days since we started the elimination diet… Read more

Christmas Menu and a Couple of Disasters
Oscars Mum
Christmas is not far away, and as we are hosting it this year, there is a bit of preparation work to do. One of my priorities with Oscar’s food is that when he is at home he should be able to eat the same food as everyone else. That’s not to say that there isn’t… Read more

Christmas Feast
Oscars Mum
Well Christmas has been and gone, and I hope you all had a lovely day, however you celebrated. We had our first Christmas lunch at home on our own and it was really lovely. Oscar understood Christmas this year and had a lovely morning opening all his presents and playing with all the toys. We… Read more

Food Diary
Oscars Mum
Oscar is off to the dietician tomorrow for a review, so we have been keeping a food diary for the past week to track what he eats. This is what we gave him to eat, not necessarily what he did eat! Day 1 Breakfast: Porridge with milk and pears in syrup and banana, milk to drink Morning… Read more
