Kid's leftovers for lunch yet again. But at least it's pancakes today. Topped mine with fermented gooseberry jam, tahini (always tahini) and toasted seeds. I posted my full speedy banana, oat and flaxseed pancake recipe on my FB page (link in bio). This is one of my healthy breakfast go-tos. We'll be cooking more recipes like these in my Healthy Breakfast workshop on March 12th @thesunflowercentre_se4. Happy Pancake Day all! 🥞 If you're like my kids you're pancaking all day! 🥞 👩🏾‍🍳Get your kids cooking... Because one day they'll make YOU dinner! 👨🏼‍🍳 For some of us we're still a long way off living this dream, but teaching your kids to cook and from an early age, has SO MANY benefits. Not only do they learn about science and math, but also nutrition. As well, they learn an important life skill. Not to mention it can kill two birds by combining an activity and snack--every kid lives for snack. But more importantly, research, as well as my experience of teaching cookery, has shown that children are less likely to waste food if they know how it gets to their plate and are more likely to try foods when they've had a hand in preparing it. If you want to learn how to get your kids cooking and how to modify recipes and activities to make them suitable to kids of all ages, come join me at my workshop on April 9th @thesunflowercentre_se4. More info and booking details in my bio ⬆️, click on Events. Please note you will need to register before booking. When I crack the 'How to get Kids to Tidy Up' that'll be my next workshop! 😂 2nd 📷@gardenmuseum 🥦🍆We all know that eating more veg is good for us and for the planet 🌍, BUT...

But as a parent, I know it is hard. The ubiquitous party bags, countless birthday parties, refined carby snacks, sugary cereals, hidden sugars and don't get me started on the Haribo... If you find it hard to cut down on the amount of sugar you and your family consume or just aren't sure how much you are actually consuming, this workshop is for you! Join me on for the second workshop in my Family Nutrition & Cookery Workshop @thesunflowercentre_se4 in Brockley on March 19th, 7-9 pm. We will take a closer look at sugar in all its guises and talk how to reduce the amount you're consuming. We will also talk about blood sugar balance and why it is important for health. And of course we'll get cooking! Recipes will be provided and you'll take home treats for the family. This is one you don't want to miss! For more detail and booking info head to my bio⬆️ and click on Events. And there's one space for FREE if you'd like to attend, but can't afford the registration fee (DM me to arrange). 🍳Let's talk breakfast...🍳 For many it's a tricky one. You're often in a rush and let's face not all of us are morning people. So for most families it's a quick bowl of cereal before dashing out of the door, making it difficult to get in a few servings of fruit or veg and there often aren't enough of the vital nutrient little brains and bodies need to keep fuelled and focused until lunch. Join me for the first workshop in my Family Nutrition and Cookery Workshop Series, 🥞Healthy Breakfast Healthy Start🥑 on March 12th, 7-9pm at @thesunflowercentre_se4 in Brockley (SE4). We will talk about how to create a balanced breakfast why it is important for our smalls to start the day with a balanced breakfast and we'll cook up a few recipes to enjoy. Recipes will be provided and you can take home the leftovers to try out on the family. I'll be giving away one free place for this session to someone who would benefit from attending, but can stretch to covering the cost (DM me to arrange). The session is £40 (book all 5 in the series for £175 and get a 30 min video follow up call). For more info and booking details head in my bio ⬆️ and click on Events.
