Christmas Finger <\/strong>Vegetables <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With so many winter vegetables around, its worth saying you can start your baby on finger food from 6 months and you can actually totally skip the mushing, pureeing, and head straight onto \u2018big people\u2019 food. So, roast those Christmas veggies until they are lovely and soft, steam broccoli, slow cook meat until really tender. I like to cut all of my veggies into spears. It makes the food super easy to handle. Please remember you MUST be able to squash a food between your finger and thumb to ensure it is 100% safe for your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cranberry and Orange Christmas Muffins. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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 180\u00baC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Healthy After Eights. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a child I always remember Christmas treats being \u2013 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!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Healthy Gingerbread.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If there was one smell that says \u2018It\u2019s Christmas\u2019 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\u2019m secretly nourishing them with goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
