Blueberry Tahini Oat Bars – Baby Led Weaning Recipe

September 7, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I’ve been adding tahini to everything recently. My friend found it weird, saying, Isn’t it only for savoury dishes? NOOOOOOOO! Tahini is so versatile and probably one of the best possible ways to get calcium into little ones. I’ve been dipping pretty much all of Vida’s food in it! I wanted to make her some…

August 2, 2019 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

The never-ending quest to find enough recipes to satisfy our newly-weaned babies’ appetites and need to discover new flavours… I try to be as organised as possible with meals for my family, but it’s still the same every day for breakfast and lunch: what will she have today… Muffins that are not sweet but have…

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…

Gingerbread Brownies

November 30, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season to eat gingerbread! I do love incorporating these warming, seasonal flavours into my baking and cooking at this time of year. All I’ve done here is amend my original brownie recipe to incorporate these gingerbread-y flavours and it really works. I’m going to attempt to make healthy gingerbread men at some point…

Pearl Barley, Sweet Potato & Caramelised Red Onion Bowl

October 3, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Following on from my Barley Soup post a few days ago, here is what I made with some barley I had left over. This is quite a simple dish and doesn’t require many ingredients but is a nutritious, filling, vegan meal. In the Barley Soup post I spoke about the benefits of barley, for example…

Vegan Chocolate Frosted Brownies

Is there anything more satisfying than an indulgent chocolate brownie? How about when you know that said brownie is free of refined sugar, gluten, wheat, grains, dairy, eggs, soya and preservatives?

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…

These gluten, dairy, sugar free & vegan Israeli / Moroccan inspired Halva (tahini) and cardamom cookies epitomise the tastes of my upbringing.

July 6, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

Yay! The sun’s out again here in London☀️ which means these can come back out the freezer. Braxton just loves these creamy coconut fruit homemade ice lollies. I do sometimes feel bad that when the ice cream van goes by we’ll not be going out to greet it, but so far at 21 months old…
