Useful snack

Today I need to be in the hospital for an appointment at 11.30 with mt 5 month old. I am trying to think of suitable snack to take for while we are waiting that will keep us both going. Most of the foods he eats at he moment are pretty messy so I'm not sure what to pick. Might have to resort to a sugar free bisuit for him (organix animal biscuits) and a banana and apple for me, and a pot of peanuts in the car just in case.

I'm Back

Well it's been a long time since I've put anything up on here, but I'm on maternity leave and thought it might be a useful time to put things up. It's even more important for me to keep my blood sugar high at the moment as I'm expressing milk for my little boy.
Tonight I needed a quick dinner so made a variation of my pizza toasts recipe. I use wholemeal bread and put on it a pizza sauce and then top with soya cheese. It took about 20 mins altogether to cook and eat.

The sauce is just made from frying some finely chopped garlic, onions, mushrooms and red pepper mixed with italian dried herbs. Then I added a tin of tomatoes and blended it together. If I want extra protein I will add a tin of red kidney beans and I also often add other veg like courgette.

There is a variation of the recipe here: http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk/quickpizza.html
