Would you believe I've never actually made Zucchini Slice before? As a kid, it was not something my Mum ever made, so it's not something that comes to mind. I think I've been missing out though, as this was one of the easiest things to make and was super tasty. Roman loves it too. I left out the cheese as hubby doesn't eat it (I swear it's his only flaw) and it was still very ...
Baby-Led Weaning
Sugar-free Carrot and Date Cake
I'm in two minds about using sugar in a cake made specifically for a baby. On the one hand, it's their birthday, and the only time they have cake, so a little bit of sugar isn't going to do any harm. But on the other hand, they're a baby, they don't need, want or crave the sugar so why get them hooked on it? I think this cake is a perfect compromise. The dates are nice and ...

Warm Buttered Apple 1 sweet apple - I have used Fuji and Eve varieties knob of ...

Mini Savoury Muffins and my rave about Baby-Led Weaning
We've basically been following the ideas behind baby-led weaning and I'm loving it! Getting Roman to sleep for every nap and every night is a total battle, so it's nice to be able to sit back and let him take the lead with his meals.The main idea with baby-led weaning is to give your baby a choice of healthy things to eat and let them pick them up, smoosh them around and ...
