hi everyone - made N some little savoury mini muffins today - he is loving them so thought i'd share - i kinda made it up with ingredients i have so you may want to adapt a bit
1/2 cob corn - cut off kernels
grated tasty cheese - i prob used about 3/4 cup
milk - about 3/4 cup
olive oil - 1/3 cup
2 eggs
2 cups self raising flour (i used wholemeal)
sift flour
mix tog wet ingredient and then fold inthe flour
bake at 180 deg for about 15-20 mins (this made about 30 mini muffins)
would be nice with herbs (maybe chives) or sundried tomato ad/or spinach added too - i didnt have any!!!
you could also grate other vegies in, carrot, zuccini etc
he ate 2 of them in one go.... as a snack!
i am freezing them and can take them out with us - a healthy snack for him...
enjoy let me know if you try them
-
pp- you're such a fantastic cook, sometimes N's food makes me so jealous as i sit here eating raisan toast again!!
ange- ikwym about them all dying. i like a few of the new characters- Roman, Charlie, Ruby.
noni- i've been feeling pretty good actually. believe it or not i actually found the first trimester harder last time- being at work. this time i've been having an afternoon nap everyday for at least one hour while lewis is sleeping. it's nice not having to face people everyday- if i want to just lounge around in my pjs with no bra, i just do it!
-
mmmm Pregpan that sounds delish...will give that a go an yeah chives will be added as we have it growing wild outside!
Rainy: Leila's sleep goes a bit like this ATM:
10.30am-11.30ish (anywhere btwn 40 mins and 1.5 hours)
Then at 2pm-4/4.30pm
Then off to bed btwn 6.30pm-7pm. (i like to get her down before H&A!) te he he he!
Usually she sleeps through to about 6.30am, up for about 30 mins and then sleeps for another hour or hour and a half.
Noni: awww i wish i was still in my pjs!! ahh i dream of having a clean place...but it's only a dream. LOL!
MD: ohhh! DH gets coldsores too. he had one about 2 weeks ago and is only just clearing up. he too was being extra cautious with L. fortunately i dont get them, so fingers-crossed that our bubs dont get them either! does DD1 get them? cause you never know, maybe they are immune?
AFM: well was still really crook last night, but woke up today feeling better than i have in ages! YAY!
and Leila also slept right through!! Bigger YAY! she went down at 7pm woke at 6am for a quick feed then back into bed and woke at 8.30am!!! :dance:
so am feeling like a new woman, which is good as i was getting pretty exhausted by last night and ready to pack my bags and escape to a tropical island! LOL!
-
cheers chics!
did ya see me on mcleod's daughters on wed night? lol. hilarious! i was MASSIVE.
if not, ya can always download it for free. hint: i am the biggest one there.
i CANNOT believe i got a first birthday party invite from a friend who had a baby 3 wks before me. heck i haven't even started thinking about T's 1st birthday. what a big girl. she thinks she is so clever finally starting to crawl. she is so fat it has taken her muscles this long to get up the strength to hold her bum up! ha ha.
so sorry haven't been online for yonks, but i am back! (not that i remembered my user name and p/word!)
supa.
-
p.s is anyone from our threads pg again?
-
Funny you should ask SupaB - Gracie and Ange are both pg again!
OK, I'm still alive LOL. Been busy again (becoming the story of my life lately). yesterday I had an appointment with a herbalist specialising in psoriasis as it has flared up really badly and I can't control it with what I usually use, and if I went back to my dermatoligist, I know she would put me on meds for it that have the potential to ruin my liver and kidneys - no thanks! So I am taking a holistic approach this time. So I am on an exclusion diet as well as some homeopathics. So no more CHOCOLATE (ye gads! how will I cope? ;) ) Yeast, dairy especially cheese, mushrooms, olives, potato, tomato or peas, and increase my intake of fish and chicken, green vege (but not hte peas as they have sulphur and make me itchy apparently and lessen the amount of red meat I have. It's been interesting so far let me tell you - getting hold of seafood when you're 6hrs away from the coast isn't easy. But if it works it will be worth it because I am totally over it I can tell you - I nearly look as bad as the people you see in the ads for psoriasis treatments its that bad.
-
YAY Supa - been missing you honey!!!
I will now have to download mcleods just to see you!!!
N isnt crawling and DH hnestly thinks it is bc he is so fat he cant lift his bum.... i feel bad fo rhim that DH said that so i compendsate by giving him MORE food LOL!! he is getting thete though, we saw some serious commando crawling today i think - took bribery of chasing my mobile ph around and then i realised what he REALLY wanted to chase was my empty vitamin jar... hmm and to think what i have spent on toys lately!! Anyway good to hear from you, and that T is doing well.
Yep Rainy (who was Gracie) and Ange are both preg.... the rest of us are just living vicariously!!
girls - make the muffins - N ate 2 more of them (they are v small) while hea waited im(patienmtly) for me to cook his dinner tonight. it makes the big sore burn i have on my ahand from the oven today worthwhile!!
back later - baby einstein is done so it is time for story and bath... i hope i can stay up long enough for the opening ceremony tonight...
ETA - sherie we were posting at the same time... you poor thing. have you tried dead sea products - i know they help a lot of ppl with psoriasis... that and those fish that bite your skin - but i would go for the dead sea stuff.... then again maybe the fish are better than NO CHOC!!:???? seriously i hope it clears up for you, my uncle suffers really badly from it so i know how bad it can get.
-
SupaB, good to see you. There are two ladies in here that are preg again. Do you have something to share lol
Rainy, I didn't do anything different, he just out of the blue started sleeping better. Actually now that I think about it, it started around the time he started having more one nap a day days. Our usual routine is:
7.30/8 get up
11ish nap for 1.5 hours
3.30ish nap for 1.5 hours
8pm bedtime
or, on a one nap day:
7.30/8 get up
1ish nap for 2 hours
8pm bedtime
Last night he only woke up twice again. Actually that might be a bit misleading. He woke up once before I went to bed, then twice during the night and then again at 6.30am. I only count them as wake ups if he wakes me up lol. I guess he really woke up 4 times, still it is heaps better than it has been.
Who died on Home and Away?????!!!! We are a couple of months behind here (and I don't have t.v anyway lol)
-
Gracie & Angie - Congratulations! wow... you go girls!!!!
Artechim - what a gorgeous boy! LOL i am boring and have no news :p
Pregpan - thanks its good to be back, yes download it! T only just crawled properly on 1 Aug. i do think its the weight though. i am still b/feeding and she is eating 3 meals a day. still b/feeding every 4 hours sometimes longer.
Trillian - nice to meet you.
Seems there are a few more pple on here now - hi there!!!
-
LOL Supa - Trillian is Sherie - not a newbie by any stretch!!!
Well if weight has anything to do with it N will not crawl fir a while - he carries it around his bum too LOL! big cute thighs my boy has - and a big tum too!
ETA SHERIE wanted to ask you re the brauers recovery tonic - just got around to starting today - do you do 1ml 4 times a day with A?
-
LOL SupaB, 'tis only me.
Pregpan, I did at the start, and then backed off as he got better.
-
so how much do you do now?? or have you stopped?? I am doing 4 per day atm, thought i would do that for about a week and then drop back to 2 times per day til tje bottle is used up? do you think that is a good plan?
had a good night, N was up at 9.00 and 10.30 i was so worried i was in for a terrible night but then he slept til 5.30, had a chat to himself and went back to sleep til 6.20... we have been up since then but he is in sucha goreat mood playing om the floor - getting more mobile (no crawling but heaps of rolling and shuffling along) too... he now throws himself fwd if you sit him up and he wants to get something... leans fwd and goe onto his front from sitting.. i figure this has to be a good sign....
-
Rainy, I try to stretch E a bit in the morning, so instead of going down around 10.30, I stretch her until 11.30 or around 12.00. Sometimes a well-timed snack can keep them going a bit longer before their nap. She's then up until any where between 3.30 to 4.30, so all that happens when she gets up is dinner, evening routine then bed from 7.30 to 8.00. I know the Tizzie Halls of the world would crucify me for breaking the NO SLEEP AFTER 3PM rule but tough tits, it works really well for us, and all the extra things like school runs, the time the FDC gets home, etc all fits in to this pattern. The benefit of this is also it will be a smoother transition over to only one sleep a day once she's ready for that.
Arte, looks like our routines are pretty similar, we've had a few one-sleep days, normally when I'm out and about and she doesn't fall asleep in the pram LOL! Sorry can't help with Home and Away.
Supa - AAAH I can't believe I missed seeing you on the teev!! Where can I download from? (Can you pm me a link)ta. From memory you are wearing a yellow tshirt??
Trill sorry to hear your Psoriasis is so bad. I'm in shock you've just named all the essential components of my diet especially chocolate! Good luck with it, I hope the holistic approach works. xx
Ok well you can probably guess from my unconcerned tone that E is starting to be a little better. Dr couldn't find anything so I asked for a wee test, they dip-sticked it last night when I dropped it off and it looks (from the dipstick) like it might be a UTI so we've got ABs for her. Another scary high temp last night (even after I'd given her the nurofen - scary) but I removed a layer and she cooled down after that. She's a little happier today than yesterday so I'm hoping it's not the cold sores after all. (Rainy - first time a person gets the cold sore virus it can present as a very high temps, sore throat, mouth & throat lesions, etc - especially small children. Sometimes you get no outward signs of illness at all).
BTW Follow up on the tooth fairy saga, it seems like the TF turns up sometimes when you're at school. Oh I had to muster my very best poker face for that one! She had a late night tooth fall out as well but I had no goldies in my purse and I thought it would be way uncool for the TF to leave silver coins so she came a night later for the third tooth as well. PMSL I comfort myself that we'll have a good cackle about it when she's got toofy kids of her own.
-
Pregpan, I used it for about 3 days before he cracked it and refused to let it past his lips LOL. He had started to come good by then anyway.
Marydean, at least you're onto the problem and hopefully the abs will settle things down for her very soon.
-
Hi Girls!
and welcome back Supa!
sherie: ohhhh that doesn't sound too nice my love. did it flare up cause of the meds you have had to take recently?
pregpan: we did the recovery tonic 4 times a day for a week and it seemed to work a treat.
we are having some yuk nights here ATM too. only one wakeup but for L it is really unusual and as a result she has been waking in the morning in a true grumpy bum mood. i can see the white crest of the top tooth just ready to burst out...waiting waiting waiting!
MD: wowsers girl, you are busy ATM! mum, doc and TF all in one! LOL!
Arte: no one has actually died yet (well not in the last week). but as true soap opera fashion requires the olympic cliff-hanger has pretty much the entire cast in dire circumstances (you know the usual, psycho on the loose, hospital drama etc etc). nail biting stuff! LOL!
Rainy: Leila just ripped off a key from my laptop!! LOL!
anyway BBL as it is cold here in the hall. need wireless! anyone got it and can recommend one??
-
I think it did Clare. First time in years I need abs and look what it does to me! I have wireless with Telstra but wish I didn't. They are a pack of thieves because they know that they are the only ones that service rural areas. We pay $109.95 for 3gB download limit per mth!! I am hoping that Optus get their act together and start servicing more regional areas so I can go with them as their packages are so much cheaper. So for now we have no other choice.
-
Trillian- My satellite is cheaper than that! Telstra are the biggest scammers. Psoriasis is not nice, hope it clears up soon.
SupaB- I SAW YOU! But i had no idea it was you! I had a little chickle at the dancing under the windmill. Were you in blue? B/c she was the only one that looked UTD!
MD- Lucky i have no idea who Tizzie Hall is, Lu is often alseep after 3pm! Glad you are getting to the source of the problem. I'm not 100% on this, maybe someone will help me out. But i am pretty sure paracetamol is most effective at relieving a temp, more so than ibuprofen. Also ibuprofen can be a little harsh on the stomach. (although as it is also an anti inflammatory, it often gives better relief from teething) Just thought it was worth mentioning.
Clare- i think we are getting more teeth too, we have peeling red cheecks, nappy rash and slight temp, so waiting paitiently. Can't wait until all the teeth are out.
