Slow Cooked Pasta (Fake) Bake

Realising that pasta could be made in a slow cooker was a total game changer for me! True, you don’t get the crispy top that you would on a true pasta bake, but you do get a slight crispness to the sides and bottom instead! This is packed full of veg and easily made vegan […]

Veggie Hash Browns

This recipe is from @_myfirstmeals. Like so many of her recipes, it is perfect for new eaters! They can be batch cooked and frozen, cost pennies and are full of goodness.

Thai Vegetable Curry

This is a really simple curry. Add cooked prawns, chicken or tofu for protein or serve as it is. Don’t worry about the sauce being too runny for baby- the vegetables will be beautifully soft for easy self feeding and the sauce can be spooned over rice or noodles.

Sweet Potato and Couscous Squashies

As much as I’m in favour of babies exploring their food, couscous can be just TOO messy some days! Try serving it like this to help baby pick it up.

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.

Basic Bolognese

Here is my take on the classic dish. It is delicious and perfect for busy evenings or batch cooking.  Serve with fusilli, penne or rigatoni (or just go for it and let your baby loose with spaghetti!)

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.

Thai Style Prawncakes

I always encourage whole family meals that everyone can enjoy, and there is no need to compromise on flavour in order to make foods suitable for your baby. These prawncakes are packed with delicious Thai flavours. Recipe makes 12 prawncakes.

Slow Cooked Pulled Pork ‘n’ Beans

This dish is slower in sugar than traditional pulled pork recipes and is soft and ‘grab-able’ for babies. I like to serve it with tortilla wraps and guacamole.
