1/2 red Capsicum
6-8 slices of bacon OR/tuna/salmon
sea salt and black pepper to taste
Garlic* optional
Preheat oven to180 and grease two muffin pans with olive oil/coconut oil

Whisk all your eggs in a big bowl.

In a food processor place the onion, zucchini, bacon, capsicum and spinach process until finely chopped/pulsed but NOT smooth .

Add this mixture to your eggs.

Mix the egg mixture well 1/2 fill the muffin pans
(once you have half filled the trays, top up with mixture evenly amongst the 24)

If you have to much time on your hands you could roast the capsicum and cook off the bacon.

Cook for 35-45 depending upon the moisture if frozen spinach was used
OR until lightly coloured.

The Family




These guys are the reason for searching for something better.
I want our Girls to understand the effects some foods have on their growing bodies.
I want them to be informed with the good nutrition choices available and the bad nutrition that is being constantly advertised, so they can make good choices.

Welcome

If you are anything like me, and have stumbled by in hope to get your children eating better…..
I may be able to offer a recipe.
There are no quick fix solutions for children to magically start eating their greens, or anything else that resembles ”Real Food” for that matter.
But i will be sneaky when i have to be, all in the name of good nutrition and getting the most out of our day.
I want my children to understand the effects of good and bad nutrition choices.
My aim is to post pictures and recipes that are good to feed the whole family.
I will post as much as time/life permits.
I would love to hear your recipes or sneakiness to get your kids eating right.
