Soapbox: Teach your kids to be directHow are you finding our Soapbox series? I'll be honest, I'm finding it a little hard. We want to be deliberate about even the details of raising our kids, but it's daunting to write it down and ask if it's a) how we really feel, and b) something we're living up to. What do you think?

This week, Brook's picked apart a big thing in our home atm, which is to encourage the kids to ask for what they really want - and how making them do so will (hopefully!) help raise their confidence in the long run.

And now for something completely different: o at flour is the new... flour

oat flour is the new flour which is great for kids with gluten intolerances

One of our kids possibly has a gluten intolerance. Most mealtimes and cooking it's not really an issue for now, but I find the idea of gluten-free baking quite daunting. For that reason, and also that oats are cheap and abundant, I'm so happy to see oat flour taking off as a food trend (if that's a thing). This week I made oat-flour brownies, using my usual recipe (Hummingbird Bakery one), but replacing regular flour with oat flour (embarrassingly easy to whip up at home) and half a teaspoon of baking powder. The brownies came out so good! Soft and fudge and very satisfying. 10/10 recommend.
