Also, check out the 'Fail safe' diet/receipes and the net.

It s all about 'no preservative' sort of eating and i find it works great with DS who can be... spirited at the best of times!! lol

lovebeingamum! Does this sound like your recipe?
Fail Safe muesli bar

1 cup roalled oats
1 cup sunflower seeds or other grains
2 tbsp golden syrup
1/2 cup butter or marg
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup coconut
melt butter and goldensyrup, add a little hot water, mix everything together, add more hot water if need be, roll into balls, press flat and bake till golden brown

Oh & thanks for the idea. Failsafe looks like a pretty huge thing. I hadn't come accross it before. Thanks again.:thumbsup:

[lovebeingamum!]

Yep, that sounds about right! :thumbsup:

Good luck with the reading - did you manage to download the booklet thing she had on the site??
It's great to have printed out and flick thorugh every now and then. Plus my mum makes some thing out of there for us every now and then, so thats even better!!
There's some great ideas and hints/tip in there. I'm always careful about the 'nasty' preservatives i give DS.

The muesli slice is a bit crumbly sometimes, so you might have to tweek it a bit to get it to stick?? Or maybe i'm just a shocking cook and your turns out great! lol
