Here I will be sharing some of my food for thought and favourites from my vast cookbook collection (I have a bit of a weak spot for them) and websites that I use. Many will be gluten free, dairy free and Very low fat, but are still wrapped in a healthy, easy and tasty package that the whole family will enjoy!
So don't be afraid to experiment a little bit...the kids will be fine if they don't eat the chicken for one meal, and maybe you'll be surprised and they'll LOVE it...you'll never know if you don't go there.
Pop goes the...Popcorn
All you need to make this healthy snack is a brown paper lunch bag, some popcorn kernels and a microwave. This is my favorite go-to fast snack. Pour some kernels into the bag, fold the top over twice so it stays closed(1/2 inch fold), lay the bag on it's side in the microwave and put on high for approx. 2 minutes, but the time will depend on the amount of kernels and your microwave, so the rule of popcorn is when it stops popping take it out. Nothing smells better than fresh popcorn, nothing smells worse than burnt popcorn. To add some pazazz I like to sprinkle in some cinnamon and some salt in with the kernels before I pop it, but you can do it before or after. My kids love it with some melted butter and some sea salt. You can get really creative...add some fresh pepper, for and Indian flavour sprinkle a mixture of curry powder and turmeric: Parmesan and dried oregano for an Italian flair: chili powder and paprika for some heat.
