These are just perfect to make on a rainy afternoon, and eat them all up whilst they are still lovely and warm. I have a very picky toddler and seems like my baby girl is following her big brother’s footsteps. Lucky me. Not. I was hoping that at least one child of mine will eat properly. Nope, I can keep envying other parents with their small children eating raw carrot stick and steamed broccoli, but non mines. Anyway, that is why I try to smuggle some extra healthy ingredients into their dishes and also hoping that they will venture beyond …

Kid’s Risotto With Salmon, Courgette And Lots Of Cheese
2 minutes read
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 …
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 …
Winter time is soup time for me, I love all kinds of veggie loaded clear or creamy soups. They are also a great way to put more vegetables on the dinner table. Carrot is one of the vegetables we can still benefit from after the cooking process, because it’s easier for our bodies to take advantage of some of its protective antioxidants like beta-carotene and convert it to vitamin A. Ginger, cooked in food and using a small amount is a good way to introduce spices to your baby (from 8 months old and later if the baby has any digestion …
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 …
