This is certainly not a low fat dish but delicious it is and very quick, cheap and easy. It was Harry who actually named this, he said the green beans looked like little snakes and so he fishes them out and eats them first! Which is unusual for a child who usually picks anything green … Continue reading Snake Bake
I don't know about you but I hate it when an avocado sits in the fridge too long and goes a bit brown and mushy but I refuse to throw them away and this is a great way to use up them up. No sad brown avocado for the food bin today! INGREDIENTS 1 ripe … Continue reading Avo Burgers and Quick Chips
Now there is no way of making this dish utterly beautiful because it is basically just beans but trust me when I tell you that it is thoroughly delicious, healthy veggie fare and I've worked out it costs approximately 20 pence a head... It isn't stunning but it is good! INGREDIENTS: Half a tin of … Continue reading Beanie Bake

This is a little take on a Sri Lankan coconut shrimp curry but it doesn't have any spice and is a great way to use up some leftover rice if you have any.

If I think about my favourite meal as a child, it was probably pasta and pesto covered in lashings of parmesan cheese. Pretty salty, a serious lack of veg but totally delicious all the same. When I was weaning Harry, I did what many of you will do (and there is absolutely no shame in … Continue reading Should you season your baby’s food?
This is one of THE easiest recipes ever, the prep time is 5 mins and start to finish it takes 20 minutes. For any of you looking to watch the pennies, this meal probably costs about 10 pence!

OK, yes I am suggesting putting weetabix in a soup but seriously don't knock it until you've tried it! Harry loves this and it takes between 10-15 minutes from start to finish so it really is a good one for a quick, healthy lunch. The croutons are probably the best bit! INGREDIENTS: 1 tomato 1 … Continue reading Quick Thick Soup
