I\u003Cbr \/\u003Ewent online and couldn't find one site that had loads of free, fun and interesting\u003Cbr \/\u003Erecipes for kids…..so I created Bubba Yum Yum and the rest is history.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWe believe that food nature’s medicine, can you tell us why is it so important to really consider your gut health and the affect it has on your nervous systems?\u003C\/h3\u003EBasically our gut is our second brain. They are connected by an extensive\u003Cbr \/\u003Enetwork of neurons and our gut can inform us as to weather we are hungry,\u003Cbr \/\u003Eexperiencing stress, if we've eaton the wrong thing. We need to listen to our gut to\u003Cbr \/\u003Eunderstand if its feeling sluggish or tired and we need to create a harmonious\u003Cbr \/\u003Eenvironment in there in order for us to thrive. We want easily digestible foods in their\u003Cbr \/\u003Etrue form.

My gorgeous fellow author and friend Helen Padarin is an incredible Natropath and\u003Cbr \/\u003ENutritionist and she always encourages families to include fermented foods early in a\u003Cbr \/\u003Echild's life. Not only will these food provide an array of enzymes and bacteria, but it\u003Cbr \/\u003Ealso opens their palate up for beautiful sour notes.

I love the outdoors and the beach so we've always resided next to beaches since I finished study. From Sydney and now to Victoria's, chilly Torquay. We spend weekends taking the kids for walks, scoots, beach swims and plays or swims at the pool bc the water is so cold still! Just moved into a new house. It's small but lovely and the kids share a room but it's our own patch of dirt and a great backyard! I'm fun, friendly, sociable but private, colourful and a bit quirky. I love my family. The main reason I do what I do to give them a great future but to look up to me as a hard worker so they have similar work ethics and morals.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat is your background, how did Amie Eats come about?\u003C\/h3\u003EI studied science at Monash university and then transferred to RMIT in Melbourne to study food science and nutrition degree. I had a passion for nutrition and in particular child nutrition finishing my final year focusing on child snacking behaviour within schools (14 years ago!). It horrified me to see what kids were being packed in lunch boxes back then... I was young and keen to change the world.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI had already started working in FMCGs writing recipes, assisting pack styling and creating concepts. It was a fun start to my food career. Then I went off to learn product development and food tech, which took me to Holland to research food. I was offered some amazing experiences very young but I was still drawn to child nutrition so quit my job and started to cold call child care and kindergarten to work within their setting and educate and teach kids about good food. It was really difficult and I didn't gain much momentum 10 years ago I guess things were only beginning in this area. So I went back to the big corporate route again!it wasn't until I had Pipi and I was working in Sydney with some great styling and writing experience under my belt with ACP now Bauer that I had the drive and confidence to give my own cookbook a go...\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI saw a niche in the market as a new mum for inspiring fun and health food not only for baby but for mum and dad also. One meal. So at 6 months I started cooking, testing and styling recipes in my backyard. Pipi on my hip most of the time her tiny paws honing in on my creation I was trying to shoot, often with my I phone!!!i started writing recipes at night after Pipi had gone to bed. Then my little sister would edit them over in the Middle East. She was working as a journo over there... I outsourced the design layout to an old colleague and did everything else. Writing, testing, styling and photography. I aimed to finish the the. Ok by the time pip was 1, which was pretty close. IT \u0026nbsp;went to print a month or so after and my first copies arrived just before Christmas. I cold called shops to gain distribution and sold online and at markets. It went really well and is started writing book 2 when I fell pregnant with jimmy (now1) \u0026nbsp;i was quite sick and really tired so struggled running a business and the thought of doing it all again was overwhelming. I was lucky (not just luck I'd put so much hard work and Kate nights into book 1) \u0026nbsp;enough received an amazing opportunity \u0026nbsp;to be published through Murdoch. They took over book 1 distribution and the publishing of book 2, which has been sent to print and will launch early next year! Hooray!!!!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWatch this space. It was so nice to work with a creative group of people this time around and feel part of a team as a stay at home mum who works from home you can feel quite isolated. This process was great and new.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhy is nutrition so important in early years?\u003C\/h3\u003EThe first 12 months of a babies introduction to solids is so important. Not only are they open to exploring and trying everything and anything! So make the most of it. Introducing a wide variety of colourful whole foods in this first year will assist in setting up their taste preferences for life. Giving them a much more rounded palate and reducing those toddler fussy moments, which will still happen!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ECan you share with us your favourite go-to recipe to quickly whip up when time is not on your side?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003EOat, coconut \u0026amp; chia cookies\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-S72tSBLKkXY\/WE9wCIkSLyI\/AAAAAAAADK8\/OPlgcUs3xwwiG1PPQ8p_Xkt2h1AIWaTEACLcB\/s1600\/AA_2.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-S72tSBLKkXY\/WE9wCIkSLyI\/AAAAAAAADK8\/OPlgcUs3xwwiG1PPQ8p_Xkt2h1AIWaTEACLcB\/s640\/AA_2.png\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003EIngredients:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E120g butter\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1\/2 cup brown sugar\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E2 tablespoons golden syrup\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1\/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1 cup spelt flour\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1 cup rolled oats\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1 cup shredded coconut\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003E1\/2 cup chia seeds\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #f4cccc;\"\u003EMethod:\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #9fc5e8;\"\u003EPreheat oven to 175C.

Going through pregnancy, labour and motherhood has given me a huge appreciation for the extraordinary things our bodies can do, and for our immense emotional capacity and selflessness. It’s strange because I feel more tired than ever, my boobs are different sizes from breast feeding, and I know my body will never be the same again but I’m genuinely ok with that. For some reason, I now feel much more secure and strong within. I’m in awe of the innate wisdom and intuition that comes from motherhood and the collective power of the sisterhood. There’s a certain realness and rawness to getting pooed on, not showering alone, leaking boobs, and wearing your babies vomit with dignity that’s both humbling and hilarious!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"s1\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ESince becoming a parent, what\u0026nbsp;philosophy\u0026nbsp;do you find yourself feeling more\u0026nbsp;strongly\u0026nbsp;about?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003EFeeding our kids good, quality food. I’ve always been passionate about this but I’ve become so much more connected to it since moving to Byron Bay and I’m quite conscious about giving Archie strong food foundations and teaching him not just the value, but the enjoyment that delicious, real food. The other one is “parenting with perspective”, a term coined by my gorgeous friend Louise from Lunch Lady magazine. I think it’s important to look outside the bubble, have an open mind, a sense of humour and ditch the judgement. There’s no “right way”, I think we’re all making it up as we go along so as long as everyone is happy and content it really doesn’t matter if they’re co-sleeping (or not), how long they feed for or what school they go to.

Sometimes I think that there’s more stress that comes from something not going “to plan” than the actual situation itself. I was getting acupuncture throughout my pregnancy and the best advice she gave me was to let go of any preconceptions or plans of what labour might be like, to surrender and go with the flow. I’ve taken this approach towards motherhood too. What works for someone else may not work for you and you’re not failure if you’re baby doesn’t sleep through the night or fit into a certain routine. Every baby is unique so find a rhythm that works for you.

It’s a bit of a social gathering too with our friends like Amanda and Andrew from \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.churchfarmgeneralstore.com\/\"\u003EChurch Farm\u003C\/a\u003E there every week too.

It’s such an inspiration for cooking so I’ll whip up a cake and some lunch when we get home while Archie sleeps, and then we’ll head to one of our favourite beaches for a little picnic and swim when he wakes up. A visit to one of the local nurseries is always a treat as we love gardening and growing edibles and herbs. I’m renovating the house at the moment so I have a bit of an obsession with indoor plants too.
