Weaning. As soon as you have conquered bottle/breast feeding and are vaguely in the swing of things it comes to time for food. I love the fun of weaning. Letting babies explore tastes and textures with their hands and mouths. My first baby had to be weaned at 17 weeks so was on purée but […]
Peanut and prawn 10 minute Noodles
We love noodles in our house. I lived in Hong Kong for a couple of years as a child and the food there was amazing. It has definitely influenced my cooking. These could also be seen as a total cheats way to make Pad Thai, which I love. These noodles are a super quick meal […]
Pizza Pinwheels
My family love pizza and so I usually make extra and we have leftovers for lunches. However being picnic weather I don’t always find cold pizza transports well. So this weekend I played around with making pizza pinwheels which have promptly been names pizza rolls by Miss K. Her initial comment was “Mummy what’s this” […]
Yoghurt Coated Frozen Fruit
So Simple and So Good! I used to love yoghurt coated raisins, until I found out they really aren’t as healthy for you as you may originally think… with it being so hot over the last few days and having a small girl who loves to snack I’ve been getting inventive with snacks. It’s fair […]
Baby Led Weaning at 8 months.
It’s been just over 2 months since the baby started on food, he has completely taken to it. I’m taking quite a relaxed approach to weaning him, just offering him 3 meals and a snack if he asks for one or grabs a bit of mine. So far I don’t think we’ve come across anything […]
Homemade Mackerel and Sweetcorn Pate
Oily fish is something that I’m trying to get my family to eat more of. So I was almost too excited when I came across a huge range of tinned fish in our local Polish delicatassen. To be fair I can’t read Polish but it’s quite easy to work out words like Mackerel and Sardines! […]
Baby led Weaning, let the adventure begin.
Call me weird but I love weaning. I know it’s super messy and requires a bit of time and energy but it’s so much fun! I love watching babies eat things for the first time, watching them learn and get better at feeding themselves, seeing their joy in it all and laughing a the mess […]
Vegetable Patties (gluten free)
As a teenager I was a vegetarian for a while and one of the foods I loved were some form of Vegetable Grills, they inspire this recipe. That taste and love of vegetaraian food has never left me, if hubby would let me I’d be a vegetarian now but he loves he meat too much […]
Baby Led Weaning: when is it time?
It’s a cliche, but time has literally flown by. Suddenly Baby J is almost 6 months and it’s been time to think about weaning. I absolutely loved weaning Miss K, so a big part of me has been looking forward to weaning, but another part of me has been putting it off as long as […]
Homemade Fish Fingers made by a toddler
My 3 year old has been watching, helping and cooking with me since she was a baby. Whether in a sling, a bumbo, highchair or stood on a stool she has always loved it. Mainly because she gets to eat it, and this girl is a true foodie. Given the choice of what to have […]
