Busy Breakfasts & Mid Morning Snacks

BelVita have been a favourite in our house for quite some time now, whether it is a quick brekkie for mum or a pre school snack for the kids.



Sometimes if I am in a rush, rather than skipping breakfast I grab a packet of belVita, they are perfect for eating with a coffee and not only are they tasty, they fill you up too.


Being in separate packets they are perfect to pop into a bag for the journey to work or for a busy day doing school drop offs and visiting relatives. They are also my favourite snack to pack on a trip out for the day, allowing everyone to have something to fill them up until we get to our destination.


Slow release energy means that they release carbohydrates over several hours, although not a substitute for a balanced breakfast, these are certainly a better option than skipping breakfast.

I also pop a packet into my lunch bag for a mid morning snack. Munching in these helps me last through tip lunchtime.


These new crunchy biscuits are a bit thicker than the original so not as easy for smaller mouths to eat, but they are as tasty, and with three flavours to choose from there is something for chocolate and fruit lovers alike.

My personal favourite is the chocolate, but I have a sweet tooth so it's not surprising really! The apricot ones have lovely chewy pieces of apricot in and still offer some sweetness for those who aren't too keen on chocolate. The hazelnut are also really tasty and great with a mid morning cup of tea.

BelVita are a definite #morningwin for me and a great addition to my morning routine.

My little French Fancy!

We took our children to France for the first time last year, we stayed in a little Gite just outside Reims and it was great.

Something we bought for breakfast on the first day and became a firm favourite with us and the children were Madeleines.

A small French cake that is perfect dipped in chocolat chaud!

I bought a mould from Sew White a few weeks ago and finally got round to using it at the weekend.

I was a little unsure about silicone as I have some other silicone cake moulds and sometimes the cakes  stick, however these worked perfectly.

There were so many recipes to choose from but I eventually settled on this one from Waitrose, I made half vanilla and half orange.

The resulting Madeleines were very yummy and lasted all of a day, I only ate a few of them honest!

Came out of the mould really easily!

They look so pretty!

Sitting beautifully in my dish from The White Approach.
