This morning I attended a very informative session at the children's school about reading and writing for children. I feel so lucky and blessed that my munchkins love books. However I do feel a little sad that I have not managed our time better in the past few months and we are missing our usual story time before bed on some nights. I really need to work out a better system in the evenings as at the moment from cooking dinner to bedtime for all the children including Eyad is far from smooth sailing. Any ideas?
This afternoon I thought I would bake some muffins for the kids and another banana loaf for the freezer.
Eyad was very fussy this afternoon so I should have just given up because when you see how lopsided my banana bread is you can see I was only giving it half (if that) of my attention 
In the muffins I added a spoon of coca and 1/2 cup beetroot puree which gives them the reddish colour.
For dinner we had a vegetarian bubble and squeak.
Packed full of veg and I still added a 1/2 cup of butternut squash puree and some mozzarella to make them kids friendly!
Lulu thought they were great, Sami was in tantrum mode and would not eat and Laith was in a bad mood so he just picked at his food. Just one of those nights. I also did a little peanut butter and coconut milk sauce for the kids to dip them into which tasted yummy (only a finger dip for me as I knew that was one that would race to my hips!).
As the oven was on I threw in a small batch of WW brownies …
and also a few butternut squash to boost my puree stock in the freezer.
A busy week this week and I feel exhausted already!
Thanks for stopping by…
