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…

Saffron Spiced Porridge (Hot or Cold)

July 15, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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 & Adaptogen Smoothie (That Tastes Like Banana Peanut Butter Milkshake!)

October 2, 2017 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

NOTE: PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT ADDING SUPERFOODS 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…

Apple & Cinnamon Granola – Only 4 Ingredients

September 19, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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

August 20, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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

February 27, 2017 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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

December 7, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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

September 22, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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

September 16, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

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…

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…
