Potatoes are a staple of the failsafe diet. You can easily get tired of the same old dishes when it comes to potatoes… mainly mashed or roasted. I tried to make potato balls with left over Thermomix Mashed potato, but unfortunately the recipe for mash in the Thermomix makes it too sloppy for this. When […]

A simple recipe today but one that my fussy Miss 5 loves in her lunch box. She is increasingly fussy that I am surprised we actually end up with anything in her lunch box each day! Surprisingly she still loves pastry and it has been the one constant thing that she will actually eat for […]

After a recent trip to the markets, my husband, Jimmy and sister-in-law returned home with some locally made quark cheese. Knowing quark is suitable for the failsafe diet (if you can have dairy) we had always wanted to try it on the kids to see they would like it… anything to increase our repertoire of […]

What is it about jelly that kids love? Fun food, it wobbles, looks funny and brings a smile to any face. I keep getting requests to make jelly. For some reason I have always put making jelly in the too hard basket, why I have not idea… it’s so easy! I have also had […]

Miss 3 requested some cookies, I decided to do a google image search to see what type of cookie took her fancy for today. She spotted a pinwheel cookie that was brightly coloured and got all excited “look, that is like a lollipop ” After reading that recipe that was full of ingredients and food colourings that […]

A treat we like to have when having a family movie night is “popcorn” made from Rice Cakes. All of us love this and if I don’t serve it out in individual bowls there will be fights to get more than everyone else! Corn is high in salicylates and glutamates which my children react to, […]

Hungarian Fried Bread or Lángos as it’s called is a fried bread made with mashed potato. I was in Hungry when I was about 19 and unfortunately I can not remember ever having one of these (though that was a long while ago now and the memory is not very vivid any more, lol!). It’s kind of nice […]

Meatloaf is one of those recipes that has been around for ages, it was a recipe I started making for my son many years ago when we first started the Failsafe Diet. I had a favourite recipe I found from somewhere and converted to make it suitable for the diet and have had it saved […]

In my quest to get more protein into Miss 3, I came up with these two recipe ideas for chicken. They are quick, easy and versatile. It is basically the same mixture, just used in different ways. The Chicken and Philly cheese mixture is also great as it is and is perfect for spreading on to sandwiches and […]
