🌧Chicken & Mushroom Stew🌧 . "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...". One of Mabel's favourite songs is on repeat today due to this weather☔️, so a Chicken & Mushroom Stew (recipe in comments below) was the obvious choice for dinner. This is my total cheat's version (made using a can of soup). But it went down a storm (pun totally intended🤣) with the whole family. Hey sunshine, where you at?🤔 . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #cook #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #familyfood #kidsfood #mummyandbaby #stew #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #rainyday #homecooking
🌈Rainbow Sugar Cookies🌈 . Mabel is now 17 months and we allow her to have the occasional sugary treat. She helped me make these cookies with her cousins the other day, so it’s only fair she get to enjoy them too! The recipe (in comments below) made about 40 cookies, but we used a variety of different sized cookie cutters. . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #babyrecipes #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #familyfood #kidsfood #mummyandbaby #cookies #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #weekendfood #homecookingrocks
🍝Homemade Spaghetti & Meatballs🍝 . Making your own pasta is time-consuming, sure. But it’s also massively rewarding and a very fun activity to do with younger ones. . Yesterday, Mabel and I babysat my 8 year old niece and 5 year old nephew and, together, we all made pasta from scratch, turkey, spinach & carrot meatballs and rainbow cookies (lots of you asking for the recipe for those so I’ll be sharing soon!). . To make pasta, simply mix 1 egg to every 100g flour - so I did 600g flour and 6 eggs. (I made enough to serve 4 adults, the 3 kids and we have plenty of leftovers still in the fridge). Bring the flour and eggs together with a spoon and then get those kids’ hands dirty with kneading. Knead until you have a very smooth, elasticy ball. At this point, we used a pasta machine to roll out and cut into spaghetti, but a rolling pin and knife would do as well. You only need to cook the pasta a couple of minutes max in boiling water with a dash of olive oil and serve with any sauce and toppings you like! All the kids love this dish and, even more so for getting to make it themselves! . . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #kidfriendlyfood #kidfood #babyfood #familyfood #cookingwithkids #cookingfun #familyfriendly #familyfriendlymeals #pasta #spaghetti #funfoodforkids
🍦No dairy, no added sugar, mostly healthy Banana, Chocolate & Peanut Butter Ice Cream🍫 . Guys, this is a game changer. I saw a recipe ages ago that said if you slice and freeze bananas and then blitz them, they turn into ice cream and I made a mental note to try it. It is INCREDIBLE. I then got creative and added other good bits like cocoa powder and peanut butter but you really could add anything you like (cinnamon, honey, berries, chocolate chips, cardamom would all be winners!) as long as the base is frozen bananas. I will never not have frozen bananas in my freezer again.🍌Ben & Jerry’s has got some serious competition now.👊Recipe in comments below. . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #babyrecipes #kidapproved #icecream #babyfood #familyfood #kidsfood #mummyandbaby #weekendvibes #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #friyay #homecooking
🦀Vietnamese Style Crab Cakes & Noodle Salad🦀 . There are2️⃣recipes below. The first recipe is for the crab cakes (which made7️⃣mini cakes for Mabel and6️⃣larger ones for me and her daddy - you know how much we love leftovers in this house). The second recipe (in the comments) is for a cold vegetable noodle salad (which made plenty for all of us, plus some great lunch leftovers). The two go great together, but, of course, feel free to mix and match with other things - or have either on their own! . 🦀Vietnamese Style Crab Cakes🦀 . Into a food processor, add 3 spring onions, a large piece of ginger, 2 stalks lemongrass, 1 red chilli (Mabel likes spice, but feel free to leave this out), a handful fresh coriander and blitz to make a paste. . Add this paste to a bowl with 400g lump crabmeat (I used tin, but you can use fresh if you'd rather). . Now add fresh breadcrumbs made from 1 piece of sliced bread, the zest and juice of 1 lime and an egg. . Carefully stir everything together using a fork so as to not break up the lump crab meat. . Form into cakes and put in the fridge for at least half an hour to set and develop their flavour. . Cook in a frying pan with 1 tsp rapeseed oil until you get a golden brown crust on one side and then flip and do the other. . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #babyrecipes #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #familyfood #kidsfood #mummyandbaby #hungrybaby #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #familyfoodtribe #homecooking
🥢Sea Bass, Veg & Noodle Stir-Fry🥢 . I am going away on Thursday for a long weekend, so am preparing accordingly...doing a big grocery shop so Mabel and her daddy are fully stocked up, cooking meals for Mabel so it's nice and easy for them and, therefore, cleaning out the fridge to make room for the new food. . This stir-fry stemmed from cleaning out the old ingredients (I had the seabass fillet in the freezer and the veg in the bottom of the fridge). Mabel devoured it tonight for her dinner. It made enough for a few days for her to enjoy - even better. . (I am going to miss my baby this weekend - and her daddy too, I suppose!).
