My friend Sophie never leaves the house without a container of scroggin, and I've started to include it in the regualr lunch line up - it's great for those 'just in case you get hungry' moments. The best part is you can put just about anything into it and adjust it for fussy eaters. Basically it's a mix of any of the following types of food:
sultanas/raisins
chicknuts
banana chips
dried cranberries
dried apricots
dried dates
dried apple
corn chips
This is a nut-free list to get you started - obviously nuts can be added for non-school occassions. The scroggin can be kept in a sealed container in their backpack and topped up accordingly. And isn't schmogle a great word ;-)

Chocolate Cookies
Does anybody know the difference between a cookie and a biscuit? I've looked for an answer on the internet and there doesn't seem to be a definate difference, just stacks of variations. Biscuit or cookie, I'm not sure the eaters of Lieneka's recipe below are going to care!
¼ cup sifted coconut flour
¼ cup butter or coconut oil
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 eggs
1/3 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla
In a saucepan at low heat, melt butter and stir in cocoa powder. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, combine eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla; stir in cocoa mixture. Whisk coconut flour into batter until there are no lumps. Let batter rest for 4 to 5 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly. Drop batter by the spoonful on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 175 Degrees for 15 minutes. Makes about 16 cookies.
