Recipe: Cuban Rice with Black Beans

cuban rice with black beans

My trip to Cuba last year was a real eye opener. They don’t have the luxury of expensive food products like we do in Australia, and government regulations seriously limit the choices available on shop shelves. It’s somewhat of a blessing in disguise as the Cubans have developed some delicious dishes based on some of the simplest ingredients around…

We recently got a brand spanking new Thermomix and are LOVING all the cool stuff we can do! One easy (and super cheffy) thing to make is popcorn dust.

We’ve all heard the saying that we eat “with our eyes” and this is especially true for kids who all too often seem to have a genetic aversion to all things green. Hiding veggies is the most common trick parents use, but have you tried celebrating the veg?

We love muffins, they’re such an easy and delicious food snack for kids, and adults will love them too! But it’s important to realise that most muffins are just cakes in disguise. They are often full of sugar, refined flour, and oil making them super unhealthy. Our version is not only delicious but healthy too.

Getting kids clean, dressed, fed and out the door in time for school each day can be difficult. It often means that the school lunch box is left full of pre packaged, high sugar snacks rather than healthy and nutritional food.

One of our quickest and easiest lunch box fillers is a pastry scroll. We have three favourite flavours; sundried tomato, herb, . . . → Read More: Recipe: Back to School Pastry Scrolls, 3 ways, as seen on The Morning Show
