Quick lasagna top: Greek yoghurt with a sprinkle of cheese. Today’s ‘experiment’ paid off. I always bulk up my bol with loads of veg and pulses to up the fibre and micronutrient content of this yummy dish. #lasagna #timesaving #delicious #mealideas #dietitian #doubleyummy #familyfood #kidsfood #toddlerfood #babyfood
This is something people ask me about my blonde and blue eyed daughter as she stranded next to her brunette brown eyed sister. Looks aside though their personalities are also very different. A good illustration of this is their food preferences. Although they’ll usually eat most things their preferences are …
Simple tomato and cucumber salad with a little vinaigrette drizzled over. So easy to do and a great start dinner this evening. We popped this out on the table to keep the girls happy whilst the finishing touches were happening to the main.

Getting involved with meal prep. B&W have just turned 3 and love getting involved with the cooking, serving and niceties of mealtimes. Today they wanted to grate their own cheese. To be honest I didn’t think they’d manage it but after a quick prep talk about being careful not to …
Dough rolled our on semolina flour (if I’d have found it earlier then I’d have substituted 1/5 of the four for semolina flour). Semolina give a much crispier texture. Dough about to go in very hot oven (240’C) until starting to crisp. We’ll then top with tomato purée (herbs for …
Pizzas tonight. The girls (now 3) loved chopping their toppings. Some got eaten on the way #chefsperks which is fantastic as one them had gone off avocado until chopping it for herself. We chopped as the pizza dough rose. They loved helping to mix the ingredients (250g string bread four …
An old favourite in the making, packed full of veggies & full of flavour. Today’s protein & fibre boost comes from chickpeas. #lovepulses Lamb can be expensive but it’s delicious so my advice is to bulk it out with veggies so that it’s cheaper per serving yet retains all of …
Love our breakfast conversations ‘Mummy can you send a picture of my rainbow to Uncle Dan. He’ll be proud!’ They’re both into people being proud of them at the moment 😊#porridge #proud

Have you tried grape sorbets? Ingredients: grapes Method: put grapes into the freezer for at least two hours. Then enjoy whenever you fancy. Yes that it! The only caveat I’d give is that if giving to young children make sure you quarter the grapes as they are just the right …
Carrot & pineapple porridge to kick a wet summers morning into action. Recipe devised, prepped, cooked (can be done the evening before) & photographed in collaboration 🤣 In my ‘day job’ I’m privileged enough to work with families who have a genetic predisposition to raised levels of fat in the …
