We LOVE pizza in our house. So much so that every Tuesday is pizza night here. Everyone gets excited about it, even me – little miss “I love variety and hate repeating meals often”. Years down the line, we still use our favourite wholegrain pizza recipe, although since discovering that I am wheat intolerant we…
My 3 and a half year old LOVES peanut butter. I mean, LOVES it. No matter what I put on a piece of toast, he will immediately ask for peanut butter on it. He will scrape off the lovingly cooked scrambled eggs or homemade baked beans. He will push away his lunchtime soup and triumphantly…
This vegetarian lasagne is every bit as tasty and creamy as the classic version, but packed full of veggies and made simpler with a cheat’s white sauce and a dump-and-run approach using the slow cooker. Perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. As busy parents trying to get our kids to eat more healthily, I think…
I totally get the whole “bowl food” phenomenon in the colder months. There’s something so comforting about being able to wrap your hands around a big mug of soup or a bowl full of stew on a cold day. But this recipe has made me realise that bowl food can be an amazing warmer day…
Mac ‘n’ cheese. A classic. For good reason. It’s creamy, delicious, filling, comforting. But let’s face it, we all know it’s far from healthy. It’s certainly better (both in terms of taste and health) when you make it from scratch yourself. Boxed mac & cheese or even pre-made shop-bought white sauce are full of worryingly…

First recipe has sugar in it hardly sugar free is it.
Hi Phil, the recipe is clearly marked as “low sugar” since it contains a little (optional) rice syrup or raw honey. If you click through to the recipe, you will see that I state that this adds sugar and is an optional ingredient (making it possible for it to have no added sugar at all), although it comes out as less than 2g (1/2 teaspoon) free sugar per muffin, so it is definitely not high in sugar if you are concerned about that. Please do feel free to try it without the syrup, it is naturally quite sweet and tasty as is! 🙂 This website aims to provide recipes for families that help them stick to the recommended daily intake of free sugars from the World Health Organisation (3 teaspoons max for children, 6 teaspoons max for adults), so it is well within those parameters, and I decided not to title this post “my top 10 sugar free carrot recipes” for precisely the reason you pointed out. Hope that helps!
