Well Easter has come and gone and I got away with it for another year. H still doesn’t like chocolate! He wanted a kinder surprise bunny and a big kinder surprise egg – its all about the toy inside obviously! He was a happy boy but had no interest in the chocolate. I…
Baked Custard for baby – with a video
H and I made these little baked custards a few months ago. They are perfect for babies from 12 months old. So easy to make and sweetened slightly with maple syrup. For babies under 12 months omit the maple syrup. We moved house over a month ago now and I am yet to have the internet connected –…
Raw Peach Tarts with Sweet Labneh
I have been a little obsessed with labneh ever since I made it myself awhile back. You can find the recipe here if you want to give it ago. It’s super simple to make but store bought is fine if you want to skip that step. Labneh is often served in savoury dishes but this time around I’m…
Pandan Meringue Christmas Trees
The countdown is on and I’m super excited this year. H and I were chatting about getting a photo with Santa the other day – or more accurately I was trying to convince him it was a good idea… Me: What are you going to ask Santa for? H: A drum and a flower Me: Who…
Healthy Avocado Lime Ice Cream
I have two weaknesses when it comes to food, chocolate and ice cream. I often enjoy a bowl of ice cream of an evening, and up until recently I would serve myself ice cream and H natural yoghurt – sneaky but brilliant right :) But at 2.5 years old, H is now totally on to me….
Fruit Skewers with Coconut & Chia
This post has been a long time coming. I usually have 3 or 4 recipes ready to go but I have had a number of flops recently and have become a little over it! First there was my lemony asparagus pasta that I make often but turned to mush on this occasion. Then I attempted a…
Blackberry Frozen Yoghurt – sugar free
Frozen yoghurt is so easy to make – it only has 4 ingredients. I’ve added banana to give it some sweetness and a little maple syrup, but that is totally optional. It freezes quite hard so sit on the bench before serving to allow it to soften a little. Substitute the blackberries for whatever you have on…
Sweet and sour sugar plums
This sweet and sour plum recipe is truly delicious; serve with cream, ice-cream, yoghurt, or it would make a lovely addition to trifle, pavlova, on top of cake or with meringues I thought I should also note that this isn’t something that I would make often for H. It contains both sugar and red wine – not very toddler…
Raw Halva Truffles
Making raw halva truffles is a great rainy day toddler activity. They are super easy to make and require no cooking. H had a great time rolling the balls that I passed to him in either cocoa powder, sesame seeds or coconut. Be warned however, it is a pretty messy activity, so a nice sunny…
Sugar free creamed rice – for baby
It has been quite some time since I’ve posted a true baby food recipe, so I thought I would post this old favourite. It is a recipe that I grew up on and still love, although we always had it with sugar, and lots of it. It is amazing how things change when you have…
