These sweet potato patties are simply to-die-for. They are healthy, nutritious, free from gluten and dairy, are vegan, and are also an excellent choice for baby-led weaning. They are also pretty simple to make. I made a huge batch hoping they’d last a few days but we managed to polish them off between dinner and…

Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Seed Breakfast Biscuits
It’s hard finding things to eat for breakfast when you don’t eat gluten or dairy (or refined sugar), and tend to keep it plant-based. My dear friend Denise, yoga instructor and essential oils guru, gave me the idea for these and I put my own little spin on her wonderful original recipe, and it’s given…
Sweet Potato Coconut Lemongrass Curry
This sweet potato coconut curry with lemongrass is so easy to make and one of the easiest way to get a heap of nutrients into us. When eating a plant-based diet, it’s so important to get enough protein and bioavailable calcium from vegetables and pulses. I actually didn’t use any pulses in this one but…
Sweet Potato, Kidney Bean & Roasted Pepper Patties
As usual, thanks to my lovely friend Deepa at GirlBoyFoodBaby. Her baby led weaning recipes are always so inspiring and easy and use the best ingredients. I love being able to collaborate and join forces with other gentle-parenting and health-focused mummas to make the best food for our babies. Luckily for Deepa her little one (only…
Broad Bean, Sweet Potato & Cumin Plus Baby Led Weaning vs Blended
How great are these Nuk by Annabel Karmel food cube trays? Perfect for batch cooking for your little ones. So, let’s talk baby led weaning (BLW). I had intentions of doing only baby led with Braxton but when the time came (when he was 6 months), he wasn’t very good at picking food up and…
Cauliflower, Sweet Potato & Turmeric
Are you wondering why I picture all my baby food recipes in plastic bowls? I’m a mum! I don’t have time to style them in nice china dishes then spoon them all back into the plastic bowls that are safe for him to eat from! This category is all about being real; real mums in…
Favourite Summer Salad
This is my ultimate go-to summer salad. It’s so easy and quick to make and works so well as a yummy, filling, nutritious meal to eat out in the garden on a warm evening. You can omit the halloumi if you are vegan, and you don’t have to stick to this recipe, you can add…
Roasted Lemon, Sweet Potato & Corn Salad
I recently posted my recipe for Roasted Lemon Ice Cream. The roasted lemons also work beautifully in savoury dishes, especially when combined with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern flavours. This salad is filling enough to have as a meal on its own, or it makes a great side for a family braai (South African BBQ) or…
Deliciously Ella’s Sweet Potato Brownies
I love Deliciously Ella’s recipes and always meant to get round to making these so here they are! Funny, you’d think, using sweet potato as the main ingredient but it really works! I have a dinner party tomorrow night where I’ve been asked to make gluten, dairy and sugar free desserts so this is going…
Vegan Dinner Plate
Just look how yummy life can be as a vegan! I’m not going to write a long post here, it doesn’t need it! Just going to get straight on to the recipes… For the sweet potato mash: Peel a sweet potato and boil. Once ready, mash it in a bowl with some almond milk, salt,…
