Read MoreCheesy Triangles My son is being extremely clingy this week, some sort of phase no doubt, but that combined with no oven, and none of my usual condiments I am feeling slightly fraz fraz. Nevertheless, I have created the wonder that is cheesy triangles, yes that's the name, because my creative brain has gone bye bye. These little beauties allowed me to prepare Harry's diner tonight as he was happy to sit in a highchair and not on me, for...
Read MorePick N Mix Fritters My best friend gave me this recipe as her toddler (and husband) just loves them. I made a batch of Pick N Mix Fritters and gave them to Harry and he was all over them, ripping them apart with his fancy new teeth. They are called pick-n-mix because you can make so many variations. Love 'em. Ingredients: 1 x 125g can of creamed corn 1 1/4 cups plain flour 1/2 cup milk 2 eggs 1 teaspoon baking...
Read MoreLamb Veggies and Rice Baby Food Finally had five minutes to write up some of my new flavours. Harry has started crawling, and he is a speed crawler. Particularly interested in our insanely fluffy ginger cat Barry. Poor Barry. Anyway, this is a new attempt at lamb its my Lamb Veggies and Rice Baby Food, and a definite favourite of Harry's, he does the little excited kick under the highchair when he can smell it cooking. Very cute. Ingredients: 1...
Read MoreLentil and Red Veggie Puree I figured it was time to make Harry Lentil and Red Veggie Puree and see if he liked it. And I am pleased to say, despite the snotty nose and feral cold he is suffering at the moment, he ate it all. He even made Mmmm noises, and got upset when I stopped feeding to take the photo. It seems this carnivore is full of surprises... ...or he just can't taste it properly. Ingredients: 1 small...
Read MoreLovely Lentil Veggie Soup Lovely Lentil Veggie Soup is not just baby food, it is seriously delicious for the bigger people too. You can easily make this a vegetarian dish, the meat component is very optional. I gave this to Harry for lunch and then sat down to enjoy some myself, but the little wriggler was climbing all over me for more. It's very hot here in Singapore, but as this recipe came from Mum, I cranked the aircon, rugged up,...
Read MoreVeggie Delight This recipe is probably Harry's favourite at the moment. He has it for lunch or dinner with some grated cheese. I have tried Veggie Delight myself and think it’s seriously delicious, I am a huge leek fan though. There is an option to make this a meat dish, it was really tasty with some premium beef mince or chicken. I have included this as an option below so you can have half vegetarian half meat. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter...
Read MoreGreen Baby Food I need a green food mix to add to some of my other dishes, I don't want Harry to get fussy about all Green Baby Food.

Ingredients: 1/4 leek, chopped 1 zucchini, chopped 1/2 cup creamed corn 1 cup broccoli floretts 1/2 cup frozen peas 1tbs butter 1/4 cup apple puree (optional sweetener - I didn't...
