One of the my little guy’s tolerated (i.e. cooked until it’s unrecognisable and well hidden under mountains of cheese) vegetables is courgette. Probably, because it’s a little tasteless. Therefore, I try to use it whenever I can. It can go into a lot of different dishes, including risotto. The other evening, when I was desperate to find a way to make him to eat some salmon (which is an absolute no-no) came up with this recipe. The creamy, cheesy rice is always a winner with children, so might as well try to add some extra, healthy stuff to it. It …

We had some of my husband’s male friends coming over the other day for a quick lunch before watching football. And what a good wife am I? I prepared roast chicken for them with greek salad, but then I thought, I should probably give them another – more substantial – side dish option before heading to the LIBRARY. This salad is great for barbecues, accompanying meat or just by itself (the way I eat it). You can also play with the spices: I used dill, but mint will just work as well (especially in summertime), you can also use less …
Well, obviously, it’s not only for kids and because it’s got no wine in it, it’s not exactly a risotto. But tasty and cheesy, Bobcat loved it. I cooked it last night when I was craving curry and Bobcat is not a huge fan of curry (at the moment. He used to like it, but he’s quite picky nowadays). So I had to prepare something healthy, quick but also tasty food for him. It takes no more than half an hour if you’re only cooking 2-3 portions like in the recipe. Ideal for weaning diet. Ingredients: Half of a small …
I normally have this in the freezer all the time, for Bobcat and for the days when he’s extra picky and won’t eat anything substantial. Pasta can always come. So it’s a good idea to add as much healthy and nutritious ingredients to a pasta dish as you can. Very simple to prepare, a real comfort food for him. If you cook everything really soft, this pasta with salmon and broccoli is a great weaning meal too. The recipe below will give you 3-4 toddler portions. Ingredients: 50g salmon half a head of broccoli, broken into florets 150g pasta (any …
I assume – dear reader – you feel the same way after all the holiday celebrations: not only that you ate a lot in the last 2 weeks, but lots of sugary, greasy or meaty things. (Not to mention the drinks…) I feel that my body needs healthier food, because I even have cravings for lighter, vegetarian meals. But still want something substantial and tasty for the family dinner table. So here’s another yummy winter salad, warm, full of protein, hearty, fulfilling and healthy. Quinoa is loaded with fiber, potassium, magnesium and iron. Avocado is a great source of protein too. …
