One of my kids loves eggs! Yay! Georgie is ok with them – he’s made his peace with the fact that he must eat eggs – but James…oh James loves them. He especially loves them scrambled which is so fantastic because that’s when I get the chance to hide a little health booster in the dish.
Last Sunday, I had something special planned for Georgie and me. We were going to go to the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Limassol to taste their new brunch spread, which was created with kids in mind too. When I received an e-mail invitation including those words AND the mention of zea flour and goji berries I couldn’t wait.
James will be two in a couple of weeks. Which means we’ll be right smack bang in the middle of toddlerhood and the terrible twos stage hopefully coming out the other end unscathed and unscarred. Soon. Days with this little dude are anything but boring as you can imagine if you live or have ever lived with a toddler. He runs on an endless amount of energy, rarely sleeping throughout the day except for a quick nap in the car while I do the school run. But man, the boy can eat! Before the clock hits midday he’s already asked for two snacks and another bowl of cornflakes.
When a good friend of mine contacted me about trying out something new that involves chocolate I jumped at the opportunity. The fact that it’s a student start-up company product competing in the Junior Achievement Cyprus competition made the notion even more intriguing. So on a quiet afternoon Georgie, James and I sat down to test-run the mouth-watering experience that is Chocsticks.
I’ve been meaning to buy a juicer for ages. I’ve even done the research and nailed it down to a couple that suit my needs. But every time I’m about to hit the purchase button I hesitate and ask myself: Will I really use it? And, I’m ashamed to say, the answer is no. To be honest, for now, at this busy point in my life and especially during the week when I’m doing the school run, I would rather grab and go and get my fix from a few places I have discovered that are thriving in the fresh mixed juice and smoothie game.
