Happy Belly Porridge Fingers
These are the ‘happy belly porridge fingers’ from my book Milk to Meals - this recipe came about from my stubborn middle child refusing to eat any purée or be spoon fed - so I turned her leftover porridge into these porridge fingers using grass-fed gelatin, so it was a win-win in my eyes - she could be independent with her meal, have the added health benefits of the gelatin and there was no food waste!!
