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…

Leftover Mashed Potato & Spinach Muffins – Toddler Recipe
Toddler recipes. A constant battle to find fun, yummy things that they’ll eat, right? And mashed potato is like rice, it’s literally scientifically impossible (ok not scientifically) to make just enough for the amount of people eating, there’s always heaps left over, isn’t there? This recipe is perfect for using up that extra mashed potato…
Blueberry Banana Bread
I had a heap of blueberries in my fridge and some ripe bananas so I thought I’d use my classic banana bread recipe and add blueberries. If you want a more chocolatey version, see here. This one is so light and fluffy and…
Bounty Bars – The Healthy Way
My mum always makes coconut pyramids for Passover which are yummy but of course they use sugar so I thought I’d whip these beauties up as an alternative Passover (and any other time) treat. They are gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, egg free and vegan. Ingredients 2 cups desiccated coconut ¼ cup ground almonds…

This is basically exactly the same as my usual banana bread (gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and vegan), I just added a bit of peanut butter and chocolate drizzles to the top because, why not! It sank a bit in the middle which is really annoying when you make something so pretty, but…
Unicorn Donuts
Well here’s something different! I’ve been obsessed with unicorns since I was a little girl. They were the stuff of fairytales with fairies and pixies and dragons and other such mystical creatures which may have been inspired by a different sort of reality, perhaps other realms? Or perhaps were thought up by wonderful people with…
‘Cheesy’ Carrot & Potato Bake (Dairy-Free)
Real-life mum struggles here – don’t have time to write a huge post today! But wanted to upload this recipe that I made last week because Braxton loved it and it’s awesome for little ones. Nutritional yeast is a great vegan cheese substitute and makes it a bit ‘cheesy’. Sorry for the short post but…
Vegan Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies
Crunchy, yet slightly gooey peanut butter cookies. What could be better? Braxton has decided he’s on hunger strike at the moment so I’m trying to find just anything that he’ll eat and I made these in the hope that he’d like them and he did, he was very happy. Now just to get him to…
