However, I have to admit that I have had to find new recipes in order to include some of the contents into my family’s diet.

The biscuits turned out really well - very sweet, but lovely. It also does not contain any transfats. Ingredients 125g coconut oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 [...] http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/great-toddler-breakfastsnack-dairy-free-wheat-free-no-added-sugar-high-omega-3/ http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/great-toddler-breakfastsnack-dairy-free-wheat-free-no-added-sugar-high-omega-3/#comments Sun, 15 Mar 2009 20:50:54 +0000 Susannah http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/?p=747 http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/great-toddler-breakfastsnack-dairy-free-wheat-free-no-added-sugar-high-omega-3/feed/ I tried out this new idea yesterday, and the results have all been eaten, so I guess it was a success. I wanted to create a breakfast type snack for those with multiple allergies and for vegans who are trying to cut down on wheat based cereals.

I was quite excited, as I had ordered a couple of new products. I did, however, feel a little guilty about having goods delivered to our door. What about the packaging? What about the environmental costs of the transportation?

In fact, it arrived today and I’m really pleased with it. It works much better than my previous one and I quite like the look of the [...] http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/jamie-oliver-grow-your-own-herbs/ http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/jamie-oliver-grow-your-own-herbs/#comments Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:13:58 +0000 Susannah http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/?p=706 http://www.my-best-organic.co.uk/jamie-oliver-grow-your-own-herbs/feed/ There’s no denying it, Jamie Oliver is a bit of a legend. His work to raise the standards of food in schools is fantastic. I’ve recently seen that a firm are producing vending machines for schools that are stocked only with organic and healthy snacks - what a great idea.

For example, organic ground ginger for 59p.

To my absolute horror, there’s milk whey in it. That means that I’ve been washing the dishes etc., for my milk-allergic little boy…with milk! Thank goodness I always rinse dishes after washing them.

Well, it doesn’t happen often for me, but today I had one of those moments. I experimented with a new carrot cake recipe and the results made all who ate it squirm with pleasure!

As it’s quite a cheap meal to knock together we splashed out on some decent organic pasta…Seeds of Change have a nice range.

Maybe they’ve only just introduced it? Not sure. Anyway, at our local Sainsbury store I bought a pack of eight frozen organic beef burgers for a mere 49p. Bargain!
