It’s always challenging to get small children to eat more fish. Luckily, apart from fish and chips and fish fingers there are plenty of other yummy options to get them to eat fish AND veggies. Sounds too good? This recipe is always a hit for my 19 months old, he loves sweet potato and tolerates salmon and petit pois. The cream cheese makes it mushy and really tasty. Also, it’s super easy to prepare. The recipe below will allow you to prepare 3-4 toddler size portions. Freezes very well. Make sure the cream cheese doesn’t contain any nasties such as different …
Not that I’m obsessed, but Bobcat gets very little sugary stuff. Much less than his friends. He’s quite hyper anyway. The other day we were invited to a birthday party. (I mean, Bobcat was invited, got party bags and a thank you note for the present later, NOT ME.) He was snacking on some fruit pieces when the birthday cake arrived and because he’s never seen a Victoria sponge-cake with rainbow icing before, he rejected it immediately and didn’t even want to have a bite. He gets some sweet stuff though, like low-sugar biscuits for toddlers, oaty bars, home-made muffins, and …
This recipe is a great version of the much-loved, original Mac’n’Cheese, one of our favourite childhood meal. It’s creamy and crunchy at the same time: the whole family will love it. It also takes no time and very little effort to prepare it. The good thing about cauliflower is, that it’s packed with Vitamin C, K and B6, fiber, protein and Omega-3 fats. So it’s basically just like fish 🙂 Therefore, if you can see any chance to smuggle it into any dish, give it a try. Both toddler and weaning diet compatible: depending on how soft the pasta is. You can even …
You know the kind of man that has this thing for trains? And for funiculars and trams? I’m married to one. So when the tickets went on sale for the first Eurostar ride from London to Marseille, he naturally booked our premium seats. And one for Grandma, so Bobcat spent nearly 2/3 of the 7-hours-long travel time on her lap. Very cultured style of traveling 🙂 I was most grateful as we left home at 5:30 am and Bobcat was up since 3:30 am. Having mainly journalists in the premium carriage, we as real customers, enjoyed extra attention from the …
One of our early holiday with the little one took us to Montreux. Husband booked the flight tickets back at the January BA sale, never been there, sounds jazzy. (Sorry…) what could possibly go wrong? It’s Switzerland. Frenchy stuff with german efficiency. Well, the reality shows the other way around. Stayed at the Golf Hotel Rene Capt, a bit like Wes Anderson’s Grand Hotel Budapest came alive. Just not as funny. CHF 35.- per night for a travel cot for Captain Bobcat. (Ouch!) Only twin beds. I accused them silently that they must have been thinking: oh well, new parents …
The evening walk at the Kew was organised by husband to get the little one spend some quality time with Godparents. Yepp. Past his bath time and nearly his bed time as well, Captain Bobcat all wrapped up in the cold (and as Mummy has predicted) fell asleep in his pram at 7 pm during our dark garden walk. Since at it, slept it through and then didn’t want to go to sleep till 11 pm. The evening garden walk can be fun for smaller children, I guess. And aspiring hobby photographers, blocking the walking path with their camera stands. …
