  • Unpasteurised dairy products Unpasteurised milk or food made from unpasteurised milk.;
  • Pre-prepared salads or stored salads;

Safe food to eat when pregnant
Even though you do need to be careful, you don’t need to rule out all meat, seafood, chicken and salad.

These foods are ok:

* Food fully cooked to ‘steaming’ hot and eaten hot (eat meat well done, not rare)
* Freshly prepared salads (wash fruit and vegetables well before using them, store any leftovers immediately in the fridge and eat within a day)
* Home-cooked chicken (store any leftovers in the fridge straight away and eat hot within one day)
* Freshly cooked seafood
* Hard cheese, processed cheese, cheese spreads, plain cream cheese, plain cottage cheese
* Home-cooked cold meat eaten within 24 hours of cooking
* Pasteurised dairy products (milk, yoghurt, custard, packaged frozen ice-cream)
* Canned foods

Easter Hat Parade Ideas



















Steps to making this hat:

1. I used a child cap as the base, wrapped the cardboard around the rim to fit the size of the cap, created the base and top and just glued it all together.

2. The bunny face, ears and teeth I just created through drawing the templates myself.

3. The eyes, foam ball (cut in half) and the other bits and pieces I purchased through the bargin stores.

4. I just decorated the rest with coloured paper by cutting egg shapes and glued it straight onto the hat.





















This hat was so easy to make.

I purchased everything from a $2 bargain store.

I purchased the hat which came with the feather frills from the bargain store and just decorated the hat with various bits and pieces which I also purcahsed from the same bargain store.

Just glued them on with a heat glue gun.
