These were a bit of a gamble to be honest. They look a little creepy and do have green bits on show, but I decided to give them a try.  My kids are used to green flakes now, so this could be done perhaps with pea puree, sweet potato, I suppose any vegetable you like […]

This is a big favourite in our house. Its based on the traditional mac n’ cheese but with some small additions that make it full of veggies. I have done a blog post on this in the past, with cauliflour and white fish blended in, and you can still do that with this recipe if […]

This isn’t so much of a veggie recipe, but a sweet recipe that genuinely does not contain added sugar for children. With no milk or gluten here, this is a good recipe for those with allergies. Free of dried fruit, it looks like chocolate, and tastes like chocolate, although dark chocolate, so be warned this […]

When I asked my daughter yesterday what she had been given for lunch, the answer was ‘meatballs and rice’. When I asked her what she had actually eaten, she looked away and mumbled ‘rice’. So I asked the dreaded question, ‘Did you eat the meatballs?’ Sadly the answer was no. So I realised that she needed to […]

   My kids love a good breakfast muffin. We often do the no added sugar banana muffins on a weekend morning, but sometimes a savoury muffin or two can be a really good meal. It’s an odd combination, carrot and cheese. I wont lie. I wouldn’t normally associate these two flavours together, but it really […]

This is a really good recipe if you have little ones who are anti fish and will not go near it because of the smell. These are fishcakes made with white fish rather than salmon or tuna, which are can be more of an acquired taste. I like that you can fib and say its only […]

Ok, so it’s Christmas! And we all know what that means; treats, treats and more treats. It’s hard at this time of year with young children as they tend to go sugar crazy and get caught up with all the excitement of Christmas. It’s totally understandable with every table in sight offering sweets and chocolate. […]

I know it seems unusual to do a blog post on this. Fish fingers, chicken nuggets and fish goujons are all very easily bought from the shops. I know that people often panic at the thought of making their own but in truth, it really is such a simple method, and just as quick to make as prepared […]

Or raw cookie batter. Or chocolate balls. Whatever you decide to call them, these are a delicious little treat for anyone in the family. My baby boy has been noshing down on these since he was about 9 months and I get satisfied grins from him and clapping hands, so they definitely hit the spot! […]

I don’t want to sound smug here. Really I don’t, but my child now eats peas. Hurrah!  So, as a result, this recipe has peas in it although the addition is entirely optional. It started when we took our children to Cornwall over a school half term recently, and found ourselves in a lunch place […]
