A few years ago we were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner at friends of ours who are American. I thought, if it’s Thanksgiving, I’ll have to make something appropriate to take with. I decided on pecan pie. I’d never made pecan pie before and as always with my recipes, I really don’t actually know much…

Masala Chai Turmeric Latte
I have been drinking turmeric lattes for a while now, ever since the arthritis flare up I had last year (as turmeric is such an awesome anti-inflammatory) and I love masala chai also, so when I got given a masala chai spice kit from RawSpiceBar, I thought I’d combine the two, and it was…
Maple, Fig & Ginger Granola
I know it’s not to everyone’s taste but I’m a big lover of ginger. It’s such a great anti-inflammatory so great to put in food or drink. When I make granola I usually just do my simple maple and pecan but I fancied a change this time and had so many figs at home also…
Summer Squash, Sweet Potato & Turmeric Baby Blend
And another use for those summer squashes my mum brought back from Suffolk! This time in batch cooking for Braxton. He’s old enough to be eating proper solid food now but I still make the odd bit of mush to mix in with it as he likes it, and also it’s a great way to…
Broccoli, Pea & Mixed Herb Baby Blend
Want to get more greens into your baby? This is a great one! The mint makes it really tasty too. Ingredients I broccoli head, cut into florets 1 cup frozen peas Handful fresh mint ½ tsp dried basil ½ tsp dried oregano Method Steam the broccoli. Once ready, remove the steamer part from on top…
Creamy Cauliflower Sweetcorn Baby Blend (& Some Info On Nutritional Yeast)
(Sorry for the bad picture on this one – busy mama alert!) Just because Braxton is dairy-free, doesn’t mean he misses out. The combination of cauliflower and sweetcorn is great, it goes really creamy. Add to that some nutritional yeast and it literally could not get any creamier if you were to add butter! The…
Carrot, Sweet Potato, Squash & Turmeric for Babies
Another simple but delicious meal for you little ones. Braxton is now really enjoying feeding himself so I usually give him some fish, chicken, buckwheat crackers or steamed or raw vegetables (or all of the above!) alongside these blends as he is 10 months now, but this can be made for babies as young as…
Lentils, Broccoli & Cumin for Babies
Once again, I literally just made what I had at home! Although I do give Braxton meat (only organic, free-range from trusted sources), I like him to get a lot of his protein from plant-based sources and lentils are great for this. They are also cheap and go a long way. Broccoli is just full…
