Is It the End for Moldy Bread?

Researchers have been working on novel ways to stop bread from going moldy without having to pump the bread full of nasty chemicals. One example that they used was tortilla flat breads, which I am personally interested in. We love to have soft taco's here in the Taylor house but it is very, very, very hard to find flat breads that have no nasty chemical's in the them. It would be awesome to buy them without the awful preservatives.

Click here read more about the revolutionary ideas in stopping bread from going moldy!

In the meantime if you looking for a good alternative to eat your Mexican wraps in try Mountain Bread Brands found both in Coles and Woolworths here in Australia.

Preservative Free Dried Fruit

7/8/2014

If you have my book, you'll note that a lot of recipes for kids snacks avoid using dried fruit. This is because a preservative is used in the drying process to avoid the fruit going mouldy. I confess I do however use coconut often in my biscuits as I do love that flavour.

When I run out of my current stocks I will be buying my next source of coconut from a lady who lives around the corner from me who sells dried fruits and coconut that are preservative free - yippee!

Lu's website is below, so if like me you would like to have chemical free dried fruit check out her site:
Six S Organics - Organic and Preservative Free Foods our food, cleaning, and body care products are organic, chemical free, and fair trade.

These two comedians made a spoof ad to tell you exactly what ingredients are in chicken nuggets sold at McDonald's Restaurants. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so scary!

It's nice on the school holidays to be able to offer the adults a nice biscuit to have with their cup of tea. If your children don't mind ginger they will love these too. These Ginger Snaps are far better than a bought one and easy to make. Double the batch and freeze some for lunch boxes.

Ingredients 

200g plain flour
2 teaspoons bicarbonate soda
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Finely grated zest of 1 large lemon
100g unsalted butter, softened
100g brown sugar
1/3 cup golden syrup, warmed in the microwave for 20 seconds (treacle is fine too)

Method 

Preheat oven to 180c fan forced and line two trays with baking paper. 
Rub butter into flour until like breadcrumbs (if butter isn't soft enough, grate into flour with a cheese grater)
Add spices, bicarbonate, baking powder and lemon. Stir through.
Str through sugar.
Pour in syrup and work into stiff mixture.
Roll mixture into walnut size balls and place on sheets leaving a 5 cm gap.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. The biscuits will crack and harden when cool.
