Veggie Bread with Hummus

This amazing veggie bread is so soft, doughy it’s perfect for babies! Ever since Oscar was starting weaning he loved dipping foods into sauces so this goes really well with a veggie hummus.

Granny’s 10 Minute Brown Bread

Brown bread is a classic staple food in all Irish homes! This recipe is the quickest brown bread you’ll ever make, and the most delicious. It is full of seeds that pack a punch and make this an insanely healthy bread. For smaller babies, I cut the crust off and give them the super soft inside. It works brilliant for soup, dipping, with chia seed jam or with some nut butter spread on it.

Salmon Fish Cakes with Avocado and Yogurt & Lime Dressing

Ireland is home to many fresh fish and seafood and these Salmon Fish Cakes are the perfect finger food for your little ones. Oily fish is an important part of your baby’s diet as it is high in protein, vitamins and minerals but more importantly because it contains a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids. They are really soft, full of nutritious goodness and the perfect shape for those little hands.

Veggie Loaded Irish Stew

There is something really yummy about stews especially when it has a twist of Irish’ness about it. Stew is also a brilliant dish for baby-led weaning because all of the ingredients are so super soft when cooked especially the meat.

Healthy Shamrock Shakes

This recipe is my take on the favourite Shamrock Shakes that is low in sugar and great to give to your kids. I know these ‘Irish themed’ luminously green shakes are loved by kids everywhere. Unfortunately, though, these festive shakes are super high in sugar (in fact it is the second AND the third ingredient after water!) so it’s great that I can create a more healthy version for my kids to enjoy!
