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…

BLW Tuna Sweet Potato & Veg Croquettes
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…
Nutty Puffed Rice Cacao Bites
My names for these things are getting more and more hilarious as time goes on. Honestly, I get a bee in my bonnet about using a certain ingredient (this time puffed brown rice) then just throw something together and hope for this best but then struggle to give them a fitting (and short enough) name!…
Chai Spiced Baked Oatmeal
Porridge, overnight oats, oat smoothies, banana oat loaf, oaty bites, oat cookies, granola, flapjacks – not much you can’t do when it comes to variation with oats. And now I bring you baked oatmeal. Whatta brekkie! Y’all know I love my chai flavours so I threw some cardamom, cinnamon and saffron in there and topped…
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? Sound good? How about if I tell you that they are SUPER easy to make? Sold? Great! Get baking! Surprising though it may sound,…
Epic Vegetarian Portobello Burgers
Do these vegetarian or vegan portobello burgers look amazing or what?? I mean, who needs meat! They are vegetarian but you can make them vegan by forgoing the halloumi. As you know, we don’t really do dairy in this house but we do have the odd bit of halloumi cheese every so often, especially in…
Organic Spoon Healthy Summer Picnic
What better way to spend sunny summery London days than with a healthy organic picnic in Primrose Hill?? Yes, picnics can be healthy! We took along our vintage Fortnum & Mason picnic hamper, very cool personalised mugs and bottle for Braxton kindly sent to us by Ellie Ellie, an awesome personalised gifts company, and a…
Chocolate Truffle Hearts
There is nothing inside these chocolates that makes them ‘truffles’ necessarily, it’s just that the mixture is so decadent that when it sets thickly – as it does in the heart-shapes moulds I have because they’re so deep – it honestly tastes and feels like Belgian chocolate truffles melting into your mouth, and yet totally…
Best Ever Vegan Lasagne
If there is one thing I miss, it’s lasagne! Just the juicy creaminess of it; it’s such a satisfying, comforting meal! I’ve had some vegetarian lasagnes but they use a lot of dairy so how happy was I when I discovered a vegan bechamel sauce on offer at Ocado! It’s from Conserve Della Nonna and…
Puffed Rice Rocky Road Brownies
I wanted to make some yummy treats for my friend who has just had a baby, because breastfeeding mamas need fuel (and chocolate!) and I decided to try and make a healthier version of Rocky Roads. Daniel used to make the yummiest Rocky Roads whenever we had people over back in the days when we…
