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…

Saffron Spiced Porridge (Hot or Cold)
It’s funny, you can take some spices and make them work with any dish, sweet or savoury. Saffron and cardamom are two of those. I think because both Indian and Moroccan cooking use a lot of these spices in their savoury food, we become used to it. In terms of health benefits, saffron is a…
Everyday Superfood Smoothie (That Tastes Like Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake!)
One of the questions I get the most is what goes in my morning smoothie and what’s the best way to start the day for children. I’m a busy mum, we certainly don’t have time for fancy buckwheat pancakes or beetroot waffles every day! But it is so important to me that Braxton starts his…
Apple & Cinnamon Granola – Only 4 Ingredients
It’s Autumn! The time of year for boots, fluffy cardigans, cosy nights in, warming drinks, comfort food and amazing, warming flavours like cinnamon and star anise. Apples are in abundance right now as well, so make sure to pick them off trees when you see them. You all know I love to make my own…
3-Ingredient Blackberry Chia Jam
Yes yes, I’m that mum that makes jam, the mum that people take the mick out of; ‘Oh I’m not going to sit at home and make my own jam.’ Well I’m proud of the fact that everything my family eats is made by us. And what beats homemade breads and jams? I certainly don’t…
Pancake Day Pancakes
Well, if I do say so myself, Braxton is a lucky little boy – he got to eat pancakes for dinner tonight! I wanted to update my recipe and get a good picture up there in time for you all to prepare for pancake day tomorrow! These are so easy to make and totally guilt…
Coconut Superfood Porridge
My poor bubba isn’t feeling too well today and has gone off his food. We do a superfood smoothie every morning but thought I’d try and give him something warmer to see if he liked it and although porridge is a funny old texture, especially if you’re not feeling well, he really enjoyed it. I…
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 Berry Smoothie
This is basically the same as the summer berry smoothie bowl but this is more of a smoothie than an ice cream. It is our go-to breakfast most mornings, for me and Braxton, I just spoon-feed it to him. When there are no berries we just use banana and the other ingredients and it’s a…
Summer Berry Smoothie Bowl
The never-ending battle of making breakfasts interesting and fun yet healthy and nutritious for our little ones! Braxton loves smoothies and that is his breakfast most morning but in the summer we can cool it down even more with a delicious, creamy smoothie bowl. There are so many amazing berries available at the moment and…
