Sweet Potato Waffles

Waffles are a perfect baby led weaning breakfast — they’re soft and easy for baby to pull apart with teeny fingers, so I create healthy versions as often as possible.  The little block-shaped dimples make an awesome counting tool, also!

Cranberry and Orange Christmas Muffins

For baby led weaning muffins are just brilliant! They can be made well ahead of time and the best part is that they freeze. So make lots, freeze and the night before you (or Santa Claus) wants to eat them you can remove from the freezer to defrost. We like ours a little warm so heat in the oven for about 5 minutes at 180ºC.

Overnight Blueberry French Toast

This recipe has a bread pudding sort of taste to it rather than French toast, however all of the components of a French Toast recipe are here. French toast was the very first recipe I ever made all by myself. If you have a small baby and want to make this a brilliant baby led weaning breakfast, you can take off any of the crispy parts and just serve the soft bread and berries. Voila totally baby safe and super tasty too.

Healthy Gingerbread

If there was one smell that says ‘It’s Christmas’ it would definitely be gingerbread. Whether it be cookies, bread or making gingerbread houses, that smell wafting through my house is the start of the season for me. I also am a stickler for healthy eating so my aim was to create a super healthy Christmas recipe that would taste 1) amazing (of course) and 2) trick everyone to think they are having a treat while I’m secretly nourishing them with goodness.

Healthy Christmas Treats

Healthy After Eights

As a child I always remember Christmas treats being – a tin of Danish Butter Biscuits and a box of After Eights. It was really the only time of the year my parents bought either and both the tin and the box were always opened on Christmas day after dinner, usually while watching Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Heres my take and they are AMAZING!!
