Sweet Potato Daal
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.
Apple Custard Tarts
I promise your baby will love these little apple tarts! No added sugar at all, these are perfect just as they are. You could make a large version and slice up for dessert.
Ginger and Apple Bread
A softer and lower sugar alternative to traditional gingerbread. Perfect at Christmas (or at any other time of the year!). Hope your own little Hansel or Gretel doesn’t leave a trail of crumbs for you to follow…!
Raspberry Baby Cereal
Beyond porridge, shop bought cereals that are suitable for babies can be really expensive. Why not make your own? This muesli-style cereal can be served warm or cold. Make it thick enough to stick to the spoon for easier self feeding or loaded spoons. Store the dry cereal in a jar for up to two […]
Banana Rice Cakes
I’ve been following @feed.them.well for a long time. I love her colourful, plant based dishes. This recipe is perfect for the early days of introducing solids, and makes a great alternative to shop bought rice cakes.
Vegetable and Almond Tagine
This recipe goes perfectly with couscous or my falafel recipe. The dish is chunky and the ground almonds cling round the vegetables, making it a perfect meal for self-feeding babies. Whilst it isn’t cooked in a traditional tagine, it is full of traditional Moroccan flavours. The dish serves 2 adults and 2 children.
Pumpkin Pie Cookies
A little bit of Pumpkin Spice for your own little pumpkin! Whole pumpkin can be time consuming to work with and it can be tricky to get one with a really good flavour, so here I have used tinned pumpkin, available in most big supermarkets around October.
Slow Cooked Smokey Beef Brisket
I love the flavours of Texan-style food, but a lot of recipes can be high in sugar and salt. Like my pulled pork recipe, this is sweetened with apple, rather than refined sugar. Serve with wraps and guacamole, or rolls and a fresh salad to pick at.
Soft Prune and Oat Biscuits
We all know when it is time to reach for the prunes don’t we! Here’s a way to make them a bit more exciting.
Mango Cod
White fish is a great choice of protein for toothless babies. Big, juicy cod loin is ideal. Look for where the fish naturally flakes for chunky baby-portions. I like to serve this dish simply with rice and green beans.
