These are the easiest cookies ever as you only need three ingredients; Oats, Banana and chocolate chips. You could even make them for babies from 6 months old, just omit the chocolate chips. I made these chocolate chip cookies again the other day (with the help of my two year old) , as I quickly needed to prepare a after…

Pear Turnovers
September is a special month for us now as it’s my little boy’s birthday (he just turned two) but this year has also brought a lot of change: the start of school for my (big) girl and my youngest has also just started going to playgroup which means a bit more time for myself. Autumn also brings a lot…
Creamy Courgette & Coconut Soup
Every year I seem to plant way too many courgettes. I don’t know why I do it, I think I just forget how much each plant produces and I like to have different varieties. So, I always have to try to think of new ways to use my courgettes. This year, one of my favourite recipes…
Papaya & Banana Smoothie
I began buying papaya when my daughter started on solids as I read it was a great first food for babies. It has a low risk of allergic reaction and is easy to digest. Papaya has many health benefits, it is high in beta-carotene, contains antioxidants and fibre but best of all you can…
Spring Vegetable & Chicken Stew
It’s spring time! I love this time of year. The days are longer, flowers start to appear everywhere, and everything is just greener. This dish is a celebration of spring. It’s fresh, healthy, packed with green vegetables and a great one-pot dish that doesn’t require hours to cook. It’s adapted from a vegetable stew with…
Date & Coconut biscuits (Sugar- free)
My new favourite thing to do with my daughter is to bake biscuits & cookies. She loves it… it’s like Play Dough but she’s allowed to have a taste and enjoy the results. Predictably her favourite word is now ‘cookie’ but I don’t want her to eat too many sweet treats. The problem with most…
Ricotta & basil Gnudi with a quick tomato sauce
I only tried Gnudi for the first time recently…and it’s amazing! It’s like nothing else I have ever tasted. A little bit like Gnocchi but made of ricotta instead of potatoes. The word Gnudi comes from the Italian for ‘nude’ and refers to the idea of ‘naked ravioli’. The dumplings are delicate, soft and melt…
1st Birthday party food
It was my little girl’s first birthday a couple of weeks ago. How time flies! One day they are a baby and the next they have grown into a toddler with their very own personality. It was a lovely day; we had a small party in the back garden with a few toddlers, mums, dads…
Mango and passion fruit ice lollies (Sugar free)
When we were on holiday my daughter had her first taste of ice cream. She wanted more! As she’s not even one yet I wasn’t keen for her to have too much because of the sugar content. Most ice creams contain 21% sugar with some as high as 26%. Once home I decided to try…
Miso marinated tofu with vegetable noodles
I’ve had tofu since being a child. I remember standing next to the stove and picking at it straight from the pan before it made it to the dinner table, it seemed like a treat! A lot of people think it’s bland but not when it’s cooked in this way. I’ve always liked it best…
Sugar content in fromage frais and yoghurt for children & babies
What are the healthiest fruity yoghurts for babies? I am so confused or at least I was before I started researching! Up until now I have been buying plain yoghurt for my daughter and adding my homemade fruit purées but other day I decided to buy some little pots of fruity fromage frais. I stood…
Amaranth porridge with prunes stewed in malt
I have now tried amaranth and it tastes good! It did take a little preparation though…I soaked the amaranth overnight as apparently it makes it easier to digest and releases more nutrients. You don’t have to do that though and you could cook it straight away. So, on a snowy Sunday morning we all sat…
