Dinner

The Baby Led Weaning philosophy says that dinner is usually “a little of whatever you are having”, but sometimes you might feel that a meal isn’t quite easy enough for little hands to manage. There is always a way to adapt what you are cooking so that your baby can enjoy it too. Here are some ideas/adaptations to family classics, along with recipes that work perfectly for the whole family, just as they are.

Poached Salmon and Spring Greens Fusilli

Cooking Time: 20 mins

Dinner

A perfectly balanced Spring Dish, lovely served hot or cold. The vegetable prep in this recipe is aimed at babies who use a ‘pincer grip’, but just cut the courgette into batons and the broccoli into larger florets if needed. The recipe makes 4 adult portions.

Use this simple recipe on its own or throw in other veg, cooked chicken, prawns or just a sprinkle of cheese. Alternatively, use as a sauce over meat or fish.

This Dr Zeus inspired dish was made in honour of World Book Day, but I liked the recipe so much I have added it to the collection! The recipe makes a large quiche, but you can freeze any extra. Serve with or without ham…

Cauliflower and Kale Cheese

Cooking Time: 35 mins

Dinner
Lunch

Finely chopped kale gives this classic dish a nutritious boost. The speedy ‘cheat’ cheese sauce is creamy and full of flavour but not over-loaded with salt.

This is a proper family favourite, and really easy to make too. You can use this recipe as a base for my Fish Pie Balls if you like. The recipe is for a family of two adults and two small children.

Sweet Potato Daal

Cooking Time: 25 mins

Lentil Daal is such a versatile food. It can be a side dish to curry, a meal on its own or lengthened into a soup. This recipe is also ideal for teething babies who are favouring softer foods.

Lentil and Mushroom Wellington

Cooking Time: 1 hour 10 mins

Dinner

This is an impressive meat-free main for entertaining or special occasions. The lentils may come loose but, as always with Baby Led Weaning, just let your baby pick them up however is best for them. The dish is flavourful but soft, making it a good choice for babies with no...

Baby Prawn Korma

Cooking Time: 30 mins

Dinner

A classic ‘kids’ curry! Creamy and a little bit sweet, this is a perfect curry for beginners. I recommend slicing prawns lengthways until babies and toddlers have enough teeth to bite through them safely.

My family love Mexican flavours! These easy quesadillas are nice and squishy so hold together well. I like to serve these with smashed avocado and sour cream.

Quick Veggie Chilli

Dinner

Great for rushed evenings and full of lovely fresh ingredients. The chilli itself is full of flavour but not spicy-hot, so add some extra chilli flakes to yours if you wish! I like to serve it with rice and avocado.
