‘Do one thing every day that scares you’ – Eleanor Roosevelt Little has started his fussy phase with veggies. Don’t get me wrong, he eats a lot of veggies, yesterday I put broccoli, salad, corn, and pizza on the table, and he ate it in that order. But there are days where he just doesn’t …
‘There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between the mother and her son’. This recipe is a valentine gift to my little one. He loves Goldfish, I think it is the crunch, the salt and shape. It is the one thing that he doesn’t tire of. …
This dish takes 5 minutes to make and is a great midday snack or breakfast. It is sweet and salty. The spices aid in the digestion of the snack with some additional heated turmeric to help with inflammation. I took this recipe from Divya Alter’s book, how to eat for what you feel. I added …
‘What are those bulb things you are slicing? You’ve never seen fennel? It looks like celery and tastes like licorice’. Fennel is used as palate cleanser in Italy. It has a sweet mildly aniseed taste that is more interesting to me than celery. I like both to be honest, as does Mr and Baby B. …
‘Happiness is a small house with a big kitchen’ The layout of the downstairs of our new house is the kitchen, the living area and a playroom. We don’t use the living room much for living, as we haven’t switched the TV on since Baby B was born, so it is really a gateway area …
‘If you don’t eat well, you won’t be able to think, sleep or love well’ My little one has been quite ill recently, having spent a couple of days at school and contracted a few bugs at the same time, including RSV. Over the last few weeks, have been trying to make sure he eats …
‘We may think we are nurturing our garden but of course it is our garden that is nurturing us’ I love summer vegetables; I taste a lot of sweetness in them when they are in season. Leeks, courgettes, celery, peas. It brings forward the sweetness of the summer. This dish really utilises those veggies and …
‘Just say cheese’ When I turned to vegetarianism at the tender age of 13, one of the things I missed most was my mum’s roast lamb. She would make it at Christmas, Easter and on request for special occasions. One of the things that made up for giving this up was to get extra portions …
‘Food is the ingredient that binds us together’ This dish was requested by Mr B. It is something his mum makes in all different forms, changing the vegetable dependent on the season. His favourite is the squash blossom version, which they make a lot as they produce them in their garden. The asparagus and artichoke …
This is a great recipe, as it is a breakfast that tastes like chocolate cake. In fact, I would go as far as to say you could serve it as a dessert at a dinner party. If you follow my blog, you’ll know that I am a big fan of oats. In my recipes you’ll …
