Recipes for:
Easter Chocolates
There is something so fun about making themed food with kids at Easter, and these little homemade chocolates are such a lovely way to join in the excitement without relying only on store-bought eggs. They still feel special and festive, especially when poured into Easter moulds, but they are made with simple ingredients that also … Continued
Chia Gel
Chia seeds are one of those small-but-mighty foods that we come back to again and again, especially when supporting little tummies through the transition to solids. They’re incredibly nutrient dense, meaning even a small amount delivers a beautiful boost of fibre, healthy fats, protein, calcium and magnesium. One of the biggest reasons we love chia … Continued
Baked Pumpkin Risotto
I love risotto… but I do not love standing at the stove stirring for 40 minutes while someone’s asking for a snack or hanging off my leg. This baked version is my little kitchen hack. You get that creamy, cosy risotto texture without the constant stirring. The pumpkin softens and melts into the rice, making … Continued
Butter Chicken
This is one of those meals I make when I want everyone at the table to eat the same thing… and actually enjoy it. It feels like a proper comfort dinner, but it’s still gentle enough for babies. The pumpkin softens into the sauce and makes it naturally sweet and creamy, which means you get … Continued
Chicken & Mushroom Meatballs
If you’re looking for a soft, iron-rich finger food that actually holds together in little hands, these Chicken and Mushroom Meatballs are such a winner. They’re juicy, gently flavoured and packed with extra nourishment from finely chopped mushrooms, making them ideal for baby-led weaning. Using chicken thighs keeps them tender and higher in key nutrients … Continued
Chicken & Pasta Soup
This is chicken noodle soup’s heartier, toddler-friendly cousin. The pasta cooks right in the broth and soaks up all that goodness, which means it turns thick, cosy and easy to scoop. No slippery noodles sliding everywhere. No watery broth left behind. Just a nourishing, comforting bowl that little ones can actually manage. It’s packed with … Continued
Passionfruit Coconut Slice
This passionfruit coconut slice is one of those recipes that feels a little bit special but is still incredibly simple to make.

It is a toddler-approved favourite in our house … Continued
Spaghetti Bolognese With a Twist
Recipe from Toddler to Table This spaghetti bolognese is a classic comfort meal with a clever nutrient-dense twist. It’s the kind of dinner that feels familiar and cosy, but works a little harder behind the scenes to support growing bodies. By adding grated liver and heaps of vegetables into the sauce, you’re boosting iron, zinc, … Continued
Pumped Up Porridge
A warm, nourishing start to the day – packed with healthy fats, fibre, and blood sugar-balancing goodness for little (and big) tummies. This porridge is a go-to in our house when I want something comforting, filling and full of goodness. Oats are a great source of fibre and antioxidants, but on their own they’re primarily … Continued
Homemade Marshmallows
This recipe came about by accident one day when I whisked my gummies too much and they set half fluffy.. so the next time I made them, I purposefully whipped them and voila – a gummy turned marshmallow texture! So far I have tried these with a few different juices, and also a sugar-free version … Continued
