Simple Fish Fingers
Fish Fingers are delicious, but the premade ones can be high in salt, contain small amounts of fish and honestly fill us with some form of guilt for serving ‘beige food’. Making your own make take longer, but they’re really easy to do.
Feeding sick little ones
It’s that time of year when our little ones start to get coughs and colds. When children get sick knowing what to feed them can be tough. I know when I have a cold, it’s a fine line between knowing what I should eat to nourish my body and wanting to eat comfort food that nourishes my soul.

Baked Fried Chicken
Sometimes we just need some fried chicken. I’m a huge fan of creating fakeaways. I don’t believe in restricting a child’s diet or stopping them from enjoying all foods. Yes, I limit the amount of high fat/salt foods, but I never say you can’t have that because it’s bad.
Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni
Not only is this dish absolutely delicious, it is the perfect meal to get little one’s involved in the kitchen.
