Tried-and-tested recipes (and made up dishes!) for easy, quick and delicious meals for new mums. Includes links to other websites where I have borrowed a recipe!
We are now well into weaning our almost 8 month old little boy and trying as much as possible to feed him what we eat. I have a range of great weaning cookbooks, including ‘What Mummy Makes’ and ‘Wean in 15’ which have fantastic recipes for all the family. However, as I have become more …
I am currently dabbling with recipes that should work well when my baby reaches 6 months and we begin the weaning journey. Tonight I took inspiration from a friend and decided to make fritters (somehow I have eaten them plenty of times but never actually made my own!) They were absolutely delicious and I can …
An easy and delicious vegetarian curry recipe. With its truly authentic taste, this is a great mid-week meal option the whole family will love! Many of my curries (and other meals) are a result of an accidental pulling together of random ingredients. This was one such occasion and I am pleased to say it worked …
My latest cake endeavour was the simplest yet yummiest recipe from my old faithful recipe website, BBC Good Food. Somehow I made it to 31 having never made a lemon drizzle cake (though I have eaten plenty!) I was a little nervous to make this after my disastrous presentation following cake-tin-stickage with a previous vanilla …
For my husband’s first Father’s Day I decided to make him a curry as out of lockdown we probably would have gone out for one! We have found using our slow cooker really useful since having a baby as it pretty much does all the hard work. It also helps us to serve up dinner …
Time for another ‘mum’s yum’! After it flashed up on my Instagram, I decided to make the Vanilla pound cake advertised by BBC Good Food. We were not disappointed! I admit the presentation of the cake is a 1/10 but the taste is easily a 9! The presentation failed a little for 2 reasons: We …
I usually find lunch the most boring meal of the day. I am not a fan of sandwiches at all and I often just heat up last night’s dinner for lunch. As lockdown is already boring enough I wanted to add some excitement to the monotonous day of a new mum. So, call me ‘retro’ …
I thought it was time to blog about another of my ‘mum’s yums’! This is one I came up with recently when I had some veggies and harissa paste leftover in the fridge. I love orzo as an alternative to pasta or rice (it is like a blend of the two!) This easy recipe needs: …
In a bid to avoid going to the shops as much as possible, my husband and I have been getting inventive in the kitchen. Something I have had particular success with is my pasta dishes. I love pasta and could eat it with anything but I’ve found it particularly delicious lately when mixed with roasted …
I have joined the lockdown banana bread bandwagon and got baking during one of Isaac’s naps. I have used this recipe countless times and always have success with it so if you want an easy, affordable and quick recipe check it out here – https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/bananabread_85720 Today I had no plain flour so took the risk …
