February 27, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Well, if I do say so myself, Braxton is a lucky little boy – he got to eat pancakes for dinner tonight! I wanted to update my recipe and get a good picture up there in time for you all to prepare for pancake day tomorrow! These are so easy to make and totally guilt…

February 22, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Why It’s OK For Mums To Ask For Help   I’m very fortunate to be surrounded by women I would describe as ‘copers’. As mothers, most of my closest friends fall into this category; they don’t complain, they get on with whatever parenthood throws at them, they don’t feel the need for domestic help or…

Apricot & Coconut Buckwheat Granola

February 5, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

I’m obsessed with granola and have been making yummy granola with oats for years (check out the recipe here) but I’ve never made it with Buckwheat before and I’m not sure why. It’s much lower GI and more easily digestible and despite having ‘wheat’ in its name, it’s not wheat at all, it is in…
