Boba Fett Cake

Oscars Mum

7 August 2015

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Low Amines, Low Glutamates, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Special Occasions

While preparing to make Oscar’s upcoming 7th birthday cake, I realised that I hadn’t posted last year’s birthday cake. Last year we had a Star Wars themed party at a bowling alley (Healthways Recreation Centre) where we could self cater. The kids all came in Star Wars gear, and the cake was Boba Fett –… Read more
More Buns for Easter

Amines, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Recipe, Special Occasions

Last week I shared my hot cross bun recipes so that your families didn’t need to miss out the traditional Easter fair, but hot cross buns aren’t the only buns you can eat at Christmas. The Swedish have a great tradition of eating buns for all occassions (and no particular occassion). There is a special… Read more
I’ve finally made the 2-ingredient biscuits (except I used 3)

Amines, Dairy Free, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Recipe, Snacks

For a while now I have been coming across recipes on Facebook for 2-ingredient biscuits. Struggling to put food in Oscar’s lunchbox that would give him energy but would be quick to eat I thought these would be worth a try. While I love bananas, I didn’t think they would mask the flavour of the… Read more
Beautiful Crystal Bay Prawns

Oscars Mum

13 February 2014

Amines, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Meals and Lunches, Recipe, Special Occasions

Prior to Christmas I had read on one of the Facebook forums about Crystal Bay prawns. Most prawns are soaked in Sodium Metabisulphite as soon as they are caught. So even if you can tolerate amines, these are not suitable if you are trying to avoid preservatives. Crystal Bay prawns are the exception. They are available… Read more
Last Minute Christmas Baking (and my final post for the year)

Amines, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Recipe, Snacks, Special Occasions

Four more days until Christmas! Are you ready yet? It’s been a bit of rush here, on top of moving, organising for our house to be demolished and finalising our building contract (the thought of my new kitchen keeps me going 🙂 ). We had a street party last week (our old street) and I… Read more
Beef Koftas with Saffron Yogurt

Oscars Mum

13 September 2013

Amines, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Meals and Lunches, Recipe

This is an easy week night meal, that keeps our household sane when Oscar suddenly asks for (demands ) “dinner on sticks”. The saffron yogurt is nice change from using plain natural yogurt. Read more

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Breakfast, Dairy Free, Dessert, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks, Special Occasions

It’s Oscar’s birthday today, so for his special day he will be having pancakes for breakfast. We make our pancakes with spelt flour now and they are much nicer than with regular flour. This recipe is based on my Fluffy Breakfast Pancakes recipe, with a few additional variations. You don’t need to have these for… Read more

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Glutamates, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

Well, we are halfway through the year and I haven’t run out of ideas for Oscar’s lunch boxes – yet! These mini frittatas are actually a very early recipe but as Oscar never took to them, I haven’t published it before. Now that he is finally eating eggs on their own I decided to give… Read more
An old favourite updated

Oscars Mum

26 July 2013

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe

Today’s recipe is an old favourite, first posted almost 2 years ago. It’s had a few tweaks made to it since then, and now that I’m trying to avoid wheat for myself and not cook with it, is also gluten-free; made with buckwheat crepes. Read more
Cashew Carob/Choc Chip Cookie Dough Bites

Oscars Mum

28 June 2013

Amines, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

A recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites has been doing the rounds on Facebook this week, it was originally shared by Marlenes Skinny Friends-Weight Loss Support Group. With a few substitutions it easily became Oscar suitable and as I had some carob buttons to use up, Failsafe as well. Although having said… Read more
Meatloaf in Sauce

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Dairy Free, Glutamates, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe

Usually when my Mum cooks for Oscar he refuses to eat what she makes (except for cakes, biscuits and pancakes), so when she made meatloaf and he ate two serves then wanted it again the next night I knew she was onto a winner. This isn’t my Mum’s recipe – she used condensed milk (!)… Read more
Fish Stir Fry

Oscars Mum

21 June 2013

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe

Fish stir fry has been a bit of a constant in our house. Not made every week, it is one of those recipes that I have been trying to perfect since the early days, so keep revisiting. I think I finally have it right now – thank’s to Failsafe Foodie’s Magic Sauce. Because this recipe… Read more
Best Ever Carrot Cake

Oscars Mum

14 June 2013

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Lunch Box, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

Best Ever Carrot Cake is a pretty big claim, but this is truly the best one I’ve made with Oscar’s food restrictions. The coconut pulp I had left over from making coconut milk was the inspiration for this recipe; I found the To-Die-For Carrot Cake recipe while searching for coconut recipes. I modified it quite… Read more
San Choy Bau – Two Ways

7 June 2013

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe

Almost everyone has a recipe for San Choy Bau, so I thought it was about time I shared mine. Oscar doesn’t like his in lettuce cups, so I usually serve it in a large serving bowl lined with shredded lettuce instead. Read more

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Dairy Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Meals and Lunches, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

Something savoury this week – mini calzones. These are just a variation on my savoury calzones recipe, but I wanted to make a non-wheat pizza dough as I’m trying to cut down on wheat. We had the big calzones with a potato, mince and gravy filling; and since there is always at least one ball… Read more
Making Coconut Milk

10 May 2013

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Basics, Dairy Free, Dessert, Drinks, Gluten Free, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe

Every time we crack open a coconut Oscar tells me he wants to drink the coconut “juice”, because he loves the juice! But when I give him the coconut water he won’t drink it because it tastes yuck! Last time I decide to try making coconut milk and found a simple food processor recipe to follow on… Read more

Amines, Amines & Salicylates, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Lunch Box, Moderate Salicylates, Recipe, Snacks

This month it has all been about Squeeze’ems. I haven’t been able to experiment with much else as Oscar has been obsessed with what I can put into the Squeeze’ems. Which is a good thing because I know he’ll enjoy having them in his lunch box, and the frozen ones will do double duty in… Read more

The 25th of April is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand. For my overseas readers, ANZAC Day is the day we remember and commemorate the men and women who have fought for our country. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. “The Anzac tradition—the ideals of courage, endurance and mateship that are… Read more

Amines, Low Amines, Low Chemical / Failsafe, Low Glutamates, Low Salicylates, Meals and Lunches, Recipe

The heat wave in Melbourne is finally over and it feels like Autumn. So much so that I need to fish out my gloves and beanie for the morning dog walk! With Autumn comes all those wonderful, hearty winter meals. Which includes Pies. Pies aren’t new to our diet, but the method of making them… Read more

The Easter long weekend starts today, and while this post is going out we will be eating pancakes for breakfast (actually I hope we get to sleep in a bit longer!). Pancakes are our favourite holiday/weekend breakfast. They are easy and can be adapted to almost any dietary restrictions. This recipe comes from the Martha… Read more
