Summer holiday – tick. Back to school – tick. Halloween – tick. Where has this year gone? And all that’s happening as it speeds by, is that I am ageing. Argh. It’s frightening. I need a treat to make myself feel better. And given my need for sweet, plus Bonfire Night on the horizon this weekend, I have the perfect recipe and tutorial. Chocolate dipped apples – or as I prefer to call them Apple Pops. Let’s get involved.
You need:
One of my favorite things to tell people is ‘did you know that Oreos are vegan!?’ I am old enough to know that vegan does not immediately equal healthy but… somehow it does make me feel better after nibbling my way through half a pack while reading a magazine. Almost like they are just fruit, or better, a vegetable. But I digress. Where was I? Hmmmm, vegan, no animals, blood – OH YES – Halloween!
By using these vegan yums we have created some hardcore Halloween delights just for you. Lookey here at our Oreo Mummies.
For this recipe you will need:
Hello! I do hope you enjoyed Part One of my exclusive interview with the amazing mamma force in teeny tiny packaging that is Annabel Karmel.
In Part Two of my exclusive interview, we talk about table manners, being a tiger mother, not getting published, top tips for Mumpreneurs and more more MORE. Enjoy.
A huge thank you to Annabel for her time, her great advice, making me look like a giant and on a personal note – for helping my kids grow!
So, the incredible woman that I have video interviewed for you today, needs no introduction to you whatsoever if you are a mother.
She has been every mother’s Fairy Foodmother, giving us guidance to take us through what the hell we should feed those teeny tiny humans we brought on to this earth wailing, so they could grow and grow.
And hopefully, if you are lucky, get them to eat and try a wide variety of home cooked, easy to prepare meals. Annabel Karmel MBE.
Annabel is a mother to 3 grown up children who very sadly list her first child Natasha when she was only 3 months old. Her son Nicholas was born within a year of this tragic loss and was a very fussy eater. And as a mother who had lost a child – you can imagine how stressful that must have been for her. Annabel started making up recipes in a hope to get her son eating, which worked, and so she shared them with the mothers of her Baby and Toddler Group. And the rest is history. Well, kind of.
I love to see my kids eat. Maybe it’s because they were such teeny tiny little non-eating buggers as babies. Maybe because I love my food. But either way – it gives me pleasure to see them eat.
However – as we all know – life is busy and who has the time to produce healthy, yummy, organic meals for them. OK smuggies. I don’t. So I was rather happy to see that Daylesford Organic have launched a brand new range of kids meals.
All home-made (ish – well made by hand anyway!), each with at least one portion of veg inside and with no added sugar. Plus – each pack comes with a mask for kids to wear. Personally I’m not sure they will want to see what they are eating – but that’s just me.
Available now for £3.29 at Ocado and Daylesford Organic.
