Preheat oven to 210 degrees and brush muffin pan with butter.
Grate carrot & zucchini. Sift flour, cinnamon & nutmeg into bowl. Add zucchini, carrots and pecans. Stir thoroughly. In separate bowl combine eggs, milk and butter and wisk. Add to flour mixture. Mix with a fork until ingredients are just moistened. Spoon into prepared pan. Bake 15-20 mins until golden.
Now I left out the pecans and added saltanas instead. I also added some banana although I probably should of reduced the milk a little when doing this, because it made it a little too moist. I made them in mini muffin pans, perfect for little hands!. I made vegetable fritters and yoghurt pancakes yesterday too. Mr Fussy wasn't overly interested but will keep trying him!
Sacha - I want to hear as much as you are willing to share!
Oh oh. What was in the 12month needles!!! I have the grumpiest baby ever. Do you remember that ad where the parents take the little boy back to the shop and swap him for another kid? Hmmm.. for some reason I keep thinking about that ad today..
Danni - babe, things don't sound too good for you atm. Hope you get some answers soon! It's great that you are in good spirits though, it's important to stay positive. Thanks for your kind words. Everyone I have spoken to says that I should definitely make the complaint so I am going to.
Megan - my doctor did tell me that a rash is quite common after the MMR shot but it should only be mild. Oliver loves mandarins too, been having them for a while. I haven't tried oranges yet though.
Sacha - I would love to hear your story too, as much as you feel you want to tell us! Oliver is over his reaction. He basically just got temps, grizzly and was off his solids for a day. All he wanted to do was breastfeed so I now have loads of milk that he doesn't want! lol, I will adjust again.
Em - yum, the muffins sound great! about the ad.
Well Oliver is all better now but last night was a shocker. He woke after only 2 hours of being in bed and ended up in our bed until around 2, but DF woke him when he got up for work cause for some reason this morning he was very loud! I probably should go and do some housework while he is napping.
Danni - *hugs* I agree with Raels, its good to stay positive. I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy about 4 years ago.. It aint that bad LOL All I remember was them putting the clippy thing on my finger and putting me under and then I woke up in recovery..
DOH! Avaleigh is awake from her nap.. BBL - hopefully!
Oh my poor little munchkin, it mustnt be very nice having an ear infection! I was so overhelmed last night by it all cause she hasnt really eatten much since Monday and I was worried that she would starve and Jason didnt seem to care very much cause he hadnt eaten in 2 days! So I called mum and broke down in tears and she said everything will be ok and that with the ABs Avaleigh will be back to herself by the weekend and not to force her to eat cause it may do no good. I came out of my bedroom after the call and Jason asked what I was crying for!! It felt good to have a cry. I feel a little silly because mum suffured 3 years with me having ear infection and I cant handle a few days! I think that having to deal with a grown man having food poisoning AND a sick baby is just too much!!
Anyway, back to personals..
Em - that recipe sounds great! I must write it down and try it when Avaleigh is all better.
Hmm looks like that is it for now.. Have a good day everyone!!

Seriously - why won't children sleep when they're tired . 20 minutes today, if we're lucky, and still he's fighting & fighting against it. Mental head.
Jan I know, if someone gave me some nice warm milk, put me to bed and said sleep for as long as you want, I don't think I'd get up for a couple of days.
Megan, I know how you feel about the tantrums. I think they suck your life forces out of somewhere around the knees...
Danni, you are doing great to be so positive when there's so much going on for you and poor little Oscar. Hope you both are able to get on top of things real soon.
LOl Em at your ad comparison! I think those shots must have a little dose of cranky juice in there somewhere because I've had a totally crap time with Autie since and she has only just started to come good today - eating and sleeping better TG! Thanks for the recipe, I would have to have left out the pecans anyway until I find out if Autie's allergy is all nuts, so I'm glad you already came up with an alternative. The sultanas would sweeten a bit too I imagine.
Raels, Autie has been in bed with me every night since Dan left on Tuesday - not only could I not cope with the getting up all the time, but I just feel she needs it while she's not feeling herself. I would prefer it not get to be a habit though because it doesn't work well when Dan's home - I think she gets annoyed he's taking up HER side of the bed LOL
Jan, I hear you. Just keep telling yourself it's a phase - that's become my mantra
Well, I'm not really sure where to start with the Bali thing I think it's best if I try to condense it a bit and then you can ask if you want more info someplace. It's easier when people ask questions - I never had to write it out before! I will assume you haven't been there, but if you have, you will get a better picture. I was on holiday with a younger friend and we were staying at a place called TroppoZone (for youngies wanting to party - not entirely my scene but it was Nic's choice and I love to travel so I'll go anywhere) There is a bank opposite the Sari Club and behind that is Troppo - a series of little one up one down cheap bali style rooms set out around two pools and an open air bar area/restaurant/lobby. So the Balinese are lovely and very tolerant of drunken Aussies taking over the streets at night with everyone mostly going bar to bar. The Sari was one of the main ones, as was Paddy's next door to the bank (there is an alley between, where the entrance to TZ is) On the Thurs and Fri, TZ organised a two day tour of the rest of the island which included two big nights and most of us from TZ had gone on that so on Saturday we spent our first night since getting there just hanging out around the pool recovering. Then there was a sound like a firework gone wrong and we all stopped and were like 'that was weird'. Then another and all the lights went out and roof tiles started raining down. Someone ran off to investigate and came back saying it was an explosion and buildings were on fire. I went up to our room to find bits of ceiling all over the floor and the roof half off, and found our shoes in the dark and we all went out. As soon as we stepped out into the alley, we could see how bad it was and there was the expected chaos you would imagine - bleeding, burnt black people (sorry if TMI), screaming, fire but no lights anywhere. So tourists from all around started helping people away from the area and we took many up our alley to get out that way (so proud of the Australian 'get in and get it done' attitude that night) There was very little (none that i saw actually) emergency persons of any kind. Many of the wounded were taken into TZ lobby and that's where I ended up again, helping there. The fire was spreading and TZ caught as well though they managed to get that put out using a hose from the pool after a few hours (guests did that too) By early morning, most of what could be done had been done and they (TZ staff) asked us to gather on the tennis court due to the rooms all having damage. We were sent guards to stand in the alleyway because by then,they knew it wasn't an accident, and that's where we slept. Then we hung out and found rooms that weren't damaged until they flew us out on Monday. During that Sunday, when we walked around outside (before someone finally got organised and made it a crime scene) the Balinese were all apologizing and begging us not to hate them. There was such relief in their faces when we said it wasn't their fault. I think we were definitely looked after from above that night, if we hadn't been buggered from the tour, we would have been at the Sari as we were every other night. So that's the abbreviated story and we were, of course, much luckier than many other people.
Sounds like I've got an unsettled toddy (!) on my hands - just when I thought it was getting better
I think Avaleigh has got gastro!! Yesterday I started getting really bad tummy cramps and then spend the rest of the arvo on the toilet, today I am ok, still cramping but not on the toilet. So I began thinking that Jason must have gotten gastro andnot food poisoning. I tried giving Avaleigh dinner tonight but after a few mouthfuls she threw it back up and it was a huge spew! I let her tummy settle a bit and bout hr later gave her a bit of milk to have that come up in a huge spew too. I've just now tried to breastfeed her but nope, huge spew!!
My poor munchkin has an ear infection AND gastro
Have any of you mums had a bub with gastro? What should I do? She cant keep down anyting!
. I made vegetable fritters and yoghurt pancakes yesterday too. Mr Fussy wasn't overly interested but will keep trying him!
