🐟Smoked Haddock, Mash & Spinach🍃 . There’s not a very specific recipe attached to this as it’s so simple. I poached 2 smoked haddock fillets in whole milk with 2 bay leaves and pepper. Mabel and I shared a fillet (she genuinely ate as much as I did, my little fish-head🐠). For the mash, I used the milk the fish poached in and then added peas and spring onion. The spinach I simply sautéed with garlic. Mine and Mabel’s daddy’s version had a poached egg on top, but Mabel still doesn’t love egg (we’re slowly getting there with scrambled, but that’s it thus far). Either way, this was delicious, but next time, I buy 3 haddock fillets😂 . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #cook #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #healthyeating #kidsfood #motherdaughter #hungrybaby #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #homecooking
🍆Veggie Fried Rice🍚 . I’ve given you a version of this recipe before but it’s such a favourite in our house (and one that changes depending on what we have in or what we’re in the mood for) so it felt right to share again. . For last night’s version, I boiled about one mug of jasmine rice until soft then put aside. Meanwhile in a big pot, I sautéd 3 spring onions, 2 cloves garlic and a large piece of ginger (all chopped) in a tsp olive oil for a few minutes. Then I added in 200g raw green beans which I chopped in half, 5 baby aubergines also chopped into bitesize pieces, 200g fresh spinach and 100g chopped chestnut mushrooms and cooked all for about 10 minutes until soft. Then I moved the whole mix to one side of the pot and on the other side, added a few splashes of sesame oil and threw in 3 eggs beaten and left them to cook before scrambling them and stirring them into the veg. Now I added the drained rice into the pot with the veg and egg and to this, threw in about 2 tbsp oyster sauce, another few drops of sesame oil and 1 tsp shaoxing wine (totally optional). With a final good mix, it was done and ready to be served. This fed all of us for dinner and I am very much looking forward to a few lunch leftovers for the rest of the week too😉 . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #toddlerfood #babyfoodideas #babyrecipes #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #familyfood #kidsfood #mummyandbaby #hungrybaby #cookingwithkids #foodforkids #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #familyrecipes #recipe #familyfoodtribe #homecooking
Sorry for the silence, folks.🤫We are back from a great trip to America - we did New York, Baltimore and Chicago and, of course, ate our way through each.🇺🇸Here Mabel is making her mommy proud by devouring a bowl of Maryland crab soup, in all its spicy, delicious glory.🦀Normal service will resume shortly!👌🏼 . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #babyeats #mumbloggers #recipe #mumandbaby #travelwithkids #easymeals #babyrecipes #kidapproved #familyfood #babyfood #babygourmet #kidfood #mumlife #healthykidsfood #familyrecipes #hungrybaby #foodie #igkidsclub #cookingwithkids #food #foodforthought #kidsrecipe #healthybabyfood #family #toddlereats #homecooking #cook #howtocook #babysteps
Tomorrow marks Mabel’s last day at her current nursery before she moves on up to another. It’s fitting that it’s also a @macmillancancer charity bake sale day on her last day, so we made these - our take on the @cinnabon. Swipe to see them oooey and gooey and glazed. Even though I’m so excited for her next adventure, it does also feel sad that this first one is coming to an end. But in Mabel’s own words, “bye bye😘”. And yes, there’s a kiss at the end every time 😂 . . . . . . . #bakesale #charitybakesale #cinnabon #cinnamonrolls #baking #bake #homemade #nurseryadventures #food #instafood #walthamstow #e17
Black & Kidney Bean Daal (Recipe in comments below) . Whenever I go to @dishoom, I always order the same thing - their House Black Daal and a cheese naan for dipping. And I always say the same thing after I eat - I am going to make that one day at home. As yet, I've not done it - I never have black lentils, the time, inclination, etc. in terms of excuses. But today I made my own massively cheat version, using tinned beans and loaded it up, of course, with plenty of extra veg. The result is not exactly the same as Dishoom, but it's a very close and very pleasing second. Plus it's super cheap and quick to make (you probably have all the ingredients at home already) and I know it has nutrients to keep the whole family going. I made some cheese stuffed naans as well, because it wouldn't have been complete without. But shop bought naans or flatbreads would work just as well. . . . . . . . #mommyandmabel #familyfood #familyrecipes #hiddenveggies #recipesforkids #babyfood #cookingforkids #homecooking #food #instafood #foodstagram #foodie #foodphoto #foodlover #foodpic
🥥Curried Butternut Squash, Spinach & Coconut Soup🥥 . I’m determined to get us to sit down and eat dinner together as a family whenever possible. I know eating with us means Mabel eats her food with so much more gusto. Plus, we enjoy the quality time as a threesome before bed. So a make ahead soup is exactly the sort of recipe that can aid in my family dining quest. Served with homemade whole meal flatbread that Mabel helped me make after nursery, this was a bowlful of goodness that made the whole family happy. Note: Mabel ate her entire bowl and for dessert? Her trustee Rice Krispies of course😂Recipe (for the soup, not the cereal) in comment below. . . . . . . . #familyfood #soup #bowlfood #veggie #babyrecipes #kidapproved #cookingwithkids #familymeals #mommyandmabel #healthykidsfood #whatmykideats
