baby led weaning ideas

BLW Tuna Sweet Potato & Veg Croquettes

July 30, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Running out of ideas for baby led weaning meals? I made these a few days ago for Vida as she’s really starting to hate the spoon! I made easily transportable food for our holiday but she was having none of it and has now let me know that she plans on being an exclusive baby…

Chia, Coconut & Cashew Butter Flapjacks

January 9, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

All the Cs in this one! I ALWYAS make flapjacks for my friends who have just had babies as oats are one of the best foods for milk supply. They’re also low GI and slow releasing energy so they are the perfect snack for a new, exhausted mama. These are the original ones I made…

Vegan No-Fry Chickpea & Sweetcorn Fritters

September 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

And so the battle to come up with new and exciting things for Braxton to eat every day continues… Well, not just for Brax but for us too, because he pretty much eats what we eat now (depending on what mood he’s in, and food is always a volatile subject when it comes to him!)….

Vegan Chocolate Banana Muffins

September 4, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Nothing beats a good muffin. And when that muffins is chocolate and banana, perhaps one of the best food combinations EVER, how could you resist? These are great either as a quick, on-the-go breakfast, or alongside a cup of tea or turmeric latte to help with that afternoon dip in energy. Don’t know about you,…

Zucchini Bread – GF, DF, SF

August 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Zucchini Bread has a much better ring to it than Courgette Bread, don’t you think? Maybe you think that ‘Courgette’ sounds nicer, and more French, than Zucchini? But after years of deliberating, I have decided that I prefer ‘Zucchini’, despite the fact that I am British and should be calling it courgette. Well, I’ve never…

Easiest Yummiest Healthiest Brownies

March 7, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

Thanks to my friend Emma at Mrs Hollingsworth’s for the inspiration for these yummy brownies. These may become a staple when needing to bake something that’s quick and easy with very few ingredients. They’re actually great for baby led weaning as all natural ingredients and a wonderful (albeit messy!) texture that babies will love. I’d…

Beetroot Hummus

February 13, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Being half Israeli, hummus is one of my favourite foods and a staple food in my house. With so many gorgeous beetroots around at the moment, this is a great way to get the beetroot into you and your kids in a fun, colourful and yummy way! Beetroots are so good for us for many…

Apple & Cinnamon Granola Bars

January 31, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

  These are the best things for on-the-go breakfasts for those busy mornings. You can freeze them and defrost in batches as and when you need them which also helps. They are full of slow-releasing energy and great nutrients with no refined sugar, dairy, gluten, wheat or eggs so are the perfect healthy breakfast or…

Gluten Free Seed Crackers (Suitable For Kids)

January 24, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

A friend of mine shared this recipe after I ate these at her house. The reason they’re so great for children is that they’re a little bit soft on the inside which makes them less of a choking hazaard. Crackers that are too hard are not so great for babies – Braxton always gets bits…
