WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Grease a baking dish or flan dish with butter and coconut oil. Grab a large bowl. Whisk up eggs, not too hard core. Add the onion, bacon, zucchini and carrot, oil and stock to the eggs. Stir through.NOW - I do pan fry off the, onion, carrot, zucchini and bacon for extra flavour, you can if you like but it's not necessary. Add coconut flour and stir - NOW, when working with coconut flour you will notice it get's gluggy and almost 'dry'. THIS IS FINE, just don't leave it too long - add that mix to your pan. I use a flan tray but you can use a baking dish, it's FINE.
Bake this baby at 180 for about 45 minutes or until browned on top .

]]>Gluten Free Pancake "Sandwiches" gf, df, nut free]]>Kerry Harperhttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/GLUTENFREESANDWICHEShttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/GLUTENFREESANDWICHESSun, 28 Jan 2018 08:29:11 +0000
Oh Honey I am feeling you. So, this year you decided to go Gluten free for the kids. Bravo!! I will tell you - it can be a head fuck, not gonna lie. (removing bread that is) Most things are pretty easy. It's the bread trap. Why, because unless you want to make GF food with 1 zillion ingredients and have no life because you are always in the kitchen, nude or not - still no fun. I am ALL OVER fast, easy, nutritious lunch foods for my kids. Cutting out bread would have to be the hardest part of going additive free, I'll be honest there. Even someone like me, with over 9 years of additive free research and living it - it can be head raging. As mum's - let's get real here, not all kids are easy to feed. Fussy little Honey Pie's. Hold back the tears.
Ok - let's get in to it. * hot tips below*
PANCAKE SANDWICHES - GF
INGREDIENTS
1 Large Pasture raised Eggywegg (AKA Egg)
1/2 Cup /80g Buckwheat Flour - Organic
1/3 Cup Pure Harvest Almond Milk*
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder (organic or gluten free) 1 Banana (100g) 50g Frozen Spinach (Macro) Organic (2 medallions) 1 Teaspoon Coconut oil for pan frying
TOOLS
Hair Flip, Hip Swing
Large fry pan ( I use a paella pan)
Food Processor - I use a Thermomix
Egg flip/Fish slice if you're a kiwi
METHOD
If spinach frozen, wizz up fine in your blender on high
Add banana broken into pieces and all other ingredients.
Speed 5 - 10 seconds - scrape bowl - wizz 5 seconds
Heat pan on low heat. Add coconut oil, wait until heated.
Add a large spoon of mixture, and here you need to gently spread it out, so not so thick. Make it the size of a piece of bread or mini - up to you. Cook one side for no more than 2 minutes. Flip over and cook for no more than 1 minute.*Tips Buckwheat is better not over cooked. (these ones below are borderline over cooked) if you get the picture. Buckwheat flour will not bubble as such like white wheat flour so don't wait for that otherwise your pancakes will be shit.
Pure Harvest brand Almond milk is the best "store" bought almond milk. Or use any other milk like coconut milk,rice milk etc. Seriously no stress there.

Okay, ideally I would prefer to use sweet potato and parsnip, but this was left overs from a heap of baby potatoes. You can pretty much add what ever you like to these. If you have kids that eat a shit load of veg, then beef them up with steamed veggies and mash them roughly too.
I buy Macro Frozen Organic Spinach for quick meals like this or all my smoothies if organic fresh is hard to source. (found in Woolies Australia) Okay - Let's do this!
Left over smashed baby potatoes, around 2 cups seriously it doesn't matter just use what you have (try source organic or even better use sweet potato and parsnip mash) 1 sml tin tuna, drained 3 spinach medallions organic from freezer section.
1 Pasture free range egg - be a good girl buy the pasture Sea salt and pepper Re heat the mash and add the spinach and tuna, cook and then cool enough so the eggs don't curdle when you add them. Cool mixture Add 1 egg and mash up Cook in a non toxic pan with a spoon of coconut oil

CASHEW BUTTER
Yep, you can pay $10 for a pissy small jar from your local wholefoods, or... hang on wait for it... whip some up your self in like 5 minutes or less. What do you need? A killer processor like a Themromix or juts kick arse, whatever works for you.
1 cup raw cashews or 2, either way 1 or 2 works Oilive oil - like qualitaaay my honey pie, or almond oil, nut oil - GMO free!METHOD
Flip hair back like Beyonce, hip swing and let's go.
1-2 cup Raw cashews 2 tsp olive oil or nut oil Add nuts and wizz up on High speed blender until it creates a glorious meal (flour) Once cashew meal has been made, leave it in the blender then add your oil.
Wizz. Bam. Enjoy. Shit I'm on fire today. . Keep it simple my Mumma - You got other things to do. Hey, if too dry, just ad a little more oil at a time. YES you can use hemp seed oil for extra Brain Food.

]]>The Best Pizza Base In The World!]]>Kerry Harperhttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/2017/01/28/The-Best-Pizza-Base-In-The-Worldhttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/2017/01/28/The-Best-Pizza-Base-In-The-WorldSat, 28 Jan 2017 00:24:52 +0000
It is so bloody easy, super quick and yummy bummy! It's a Friday night tradition here to whip up a few pizza's for the kids, they get to choose what they want on it - Yes, they are GLUTEN! But, hey they are a "Better Choice" than store bought filth that's full of the most outrageous ingredients, filth and just bullshit toppings really. You can go and make a cauliflower base, or buckwheat base but sometimes you just need a good ol' fashioned Pizza! Although, we cut out almost all gluten, we do go back n forth, it's hard and we are still getting there. So please don't beat me up about this one. You can buy organic preservative free ham from most places now, check out your local organic store, or butcher. Woolworths do have a preservative free brand, it's not perfect and does have potato starch and sugars, but if you need to cut out preservatives and nitrates then try that option. Nitrates and preservatives can really TRIGGER my son's ASTHMA, so we avoid that shit at all costs! Alrighty! The recipe and process. I use a thermomix but you can easily do it with out.
See the beast of a pizza my daughter helped me make down below. Full of tikka infused chicken and vegies.BASE INGREDIENTS 300g room temp water 2 tsp of yeast 30g Good quality Olive Oil 1/2 tsp Pink Salt 500g Good quality Bakers Flour - We use no bleach organic but you can do whatever fits your budget
METHOD Preheated Oven - 200 degrees C
Add water to bowl or thermomix bowl, then add your yeast. Gently mix in the yeast and let rest for 3 minutes or so. Add your flour first then the salt, oil and mix on speed 8 for 20 seconds or until all blended. If using your hands or other processor - just make sure it's wizzed up well. Thermomix - Set dial to Knead, and knead for 2 minutes. By Hand - Knead for 10 minutes. Once it has been kneaded, place the dough into an oiled up medium/large bowl, turn it around gently so it is oiled up too. Cover with gald wrap - cling film and rest in a warm spot for 30 minutes or more. Once it has risen, you can take it out and portion it. Flour up your board, and roll out your dough. Place on a pizza tray or baking tray - I line mine with baking paper. Add your sauce and toppings.SAUCE I wizz up 2 cans of organic tomatoes, mixed herbs and pinch sea salt, a pinch of organic sugar of choice, 1 tablespoon of organic tomato paste. I also add 1 drop each of doTERRA's herb oils - AMAZING!!!!!!! Oregano Oil Thyme Oil Rosemary Basil Wizz it all up together, and paste your pizza dough. Add hidden veg by making this sauce in the thermomix and add carrot or what ever veg you like.

]]>Focus & Concentration Oils]]>Kerry Harperhttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/2017/01/04/FOCUS-CONCENTRATION-FOR-CHILDRENhttps://www.thismothersreal.com.au/single-post/2017/01/04/FOCUS-CONCENTRATION-FOR-CHILDRENWed, 04 Jan 2017 00:12:12 +0000
Let's help support your child through focus and concentration naturally. (for my rant on food, see below)
So many of our little ones are drugged up on pills to "help" them in the classroom, but have you thought about essential oils?. OMG! They are so helpful in this area. There are many essential oils that you can use to support your child through the lack of concentration and focus. My favourite oil blend that promotes alertness and helps to enhance the senses and sustain focus, is the InTune blend, it is perfect for staying on task when you are trying to study or concentrate.
This little roller bottle is ready to go, so you don't need to worry about mixing and creating.
My son who as of Jan 2017 is 7 years old and uses this roller daily during school.
It is applied nightly and in the morning to soles of feet, base of skull and on wrists. His teacher has a bottle on her desk so when my son comes in from his lunch break he is passed the little bottle of goodness and he applies it to the back of his neck and his wrists.
It smells amazing and he get's compliments at school from all his teachers.
Applying it at night also helps him to wind down faster. I have also used this at night on my 5 year old daughter who also struggles to wind down as she is quite an intelligent wee thing so her mind runs over time at night. YOu can also try Juniper Berry, Cedarwood, Lavender & Franky for a wind down, calm the mind sleep blend. Please message me, email or PM on facebook and I will chat with you about how to get your own oils at 25% with myself as a mentor!! or check out this pageon how to join
