Good Afternoon friends! How are you all? Great I hope! We are all well here.
My eldest daughter, Miss 12, is on her way home from her Year 6 Camp in Canberra where she has been for the last 3 nights. Having an absolute blast I am sure. Whilst I have missed her loads and it is the longest she has been away from me, my house didn’t seem any quieter, which I guess is the case when you have another 3 children at home! I have done the typical mothers worrying and have just kept hoping that she has kept layered up with clothes and kept warm – as Canberra these past few days have had their coldest days and nights in years! I can’t wait for hugs and to hear all about it!
I am popping here today to share with you (as promised) a second recipe from my book “Cut out the Crap for Kids” … the first recipe from this book I shared with you a few weeks ago was “Chicken and Corn Soup” an absolute favourite for my family … today I am sharing with you another favourite “Hummingbird Slice” … as always, everything in my books are Gluten, Dairy and Preservative Free. I hope you enjoy it!

3 eggs AND 2 egg whites
1/4 cup agave nectar or maple syrup

As always, I would love to hear from you when you make my recipes.
