Little Lady has been getting really interested recently in helping me in the kitchen and we have been doing lots of baking these last few weeks. Obviously I have been using MMM recipes and thought I would show you some photos of our most recent baking experience using one of our favourite MMM recipes – “Biscuits For The Boy”. We had so much fun together and I hope you and your little ones enjoy making these as much as we did! Watch this space for more recipes that you can make with your little ones. Continue reading

What Little Lady ate this week
It’s been half term for my kids this past week and so I have made a conscious effort to give them both more varied food as we have got into a bit of a rut recently. As you know The Boy is a very fussy eater and recently he has incredibly become even fussier but at the moment I am burying my head in the sand and will deal with it at a later stage! But luckily my Little Lady is still a relatively unfussy eater and will mainly try anything I give her (though she often will then say “Me no like it thanks Mummy”). Here are some things I have made her this week (while The Boy invariably ate much much much plainer versions of these meals!). They are all really simple meals that took no time at all to prepare.

No sugar banana and blueberry porridge muffins
I have been really busy recently training for a half marathon in a few weeks for a charity that is very close to my heart – https://www.tommys.org
In my quest to get fit I have been eating lots of carbs and protein and am constantly looking for filling and healthy snacks and breakfast ideas that I can eat before and after a run. I came across these oat muffins in a running magazine i subscribe to but changed the recipe slightly as I didn’t have all the ingredients. They turned out absolutely delicious and I now have a couple every day that I run and Little Lady joins me as she now loves them too. The bonus is they are refined sugar free and really filling so perfect for you or your little one’s breakfast or snack. They are also so easy to make and freeze beautifully and I have a large stash of them in my freezer.
180g uncooked porridge oats
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
100g honey
2 very ripe / brown bananas
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup milk (any kind will do and I have used coconut and almond milk before and they work beautifully)
50-100g blueberries
A summer of food
Today is the last day of the summer holidays as both The Boy and Little Lady go back to school and nursery on Monday. Although I will obviously be sad to see them go (said with a slight tongue in cheek tone!) I am looking forward to not having to make them 3 meals a day! I have managed to photograph some of their meals over this summer so I thought you may want to see what I have been feeding them. I have to admit as they have been with me pretty much 24/7 I haven’t had much time on my own to do lots of cooking and it’s been really warm most days so none of us have felt like eating big heavy meals.

Fun With Fruit
Today I am handing MMM over to the fantastic Kerry Secker again. Kerry’s post “Feeding your Fussy Eater” was so popular I asked her to write another piece for us. Little Lady is a fruit fiend and would happily eat a bowl of fruit for every meal if she could but (and this won’t shock you) The Boy hardly eats any at all and I need all the help I can get to get him to even try a tangerine. Here are Kerry’s tips on getting your fruit hating children to love it! Continue reading
