It’s Blackberry season. Earlier than last year but then all fruit seems to have been. I love a bit of free food (who doesn’t) so myself and the kids have been off foraging. This typically leads to some very purple fingers, a few prickles and lots of eating but a few blackberries have made it […]
Healthy Carrot Cake Cereal Bars
Salmon Parcels: a simple supper that cooks itself.
I love cooking, but there are days when I just need something I can throw in the oven and leave it to cook itself. Days when I really don’t have the energy to cook but know it’s even more important that I have a healthy dinner at that point. Know what I mean? This recipe […]
5 reasons why I prefer baby led weaning
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 […]

Healthy Apple and Cinnamon Cakes (gluten free).
Apple and cinnamon, one of those amazing combinations. I’m such a fan. I even love it on porridge. So tonight I had a play around with making it into a healthy muffin. Now I’ve gone for the unsweetened version, add the little drizzle of honey in if you have a sweeter tooth than me (I’m […]
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 […]
Protein Packed Peanut Butter Trail Mix Cookies
Warning…. you may find it hard to stop at just one cookie! I’ve slightly fallen back in love with peanut butter recently. It’s more nutritious than butter due to it’s protein content and gives a great taste to baking. So today inspired by my recent oaty ball success I decided to venture a little further […]
