Here is our third and final instalment of our mini series with mummy food blogger Weaning the Nation. I hope you’ve enjoyed the recipes so far and this last yummy meal for you and your little ones to enjoy is certainly worth the wait.
As with other recipes from this guest blogger mini series, this one yet again is versatile and is great for lunch or dinner. I LOVE meal ideas where I can eat the same as Henry and at the same time – and this is certainly one of those dishes… Gimme a spoon!
Following on from our exclusive baby breakfast recipe from Weaning the Nation, here is the second instalment of our mini series – a scrummy lunch idea for your little ones.
This is a perfect idea for baby led weaning. It’s a recipe that your babies can enjoy getting messy with and I am sure this will go down a treat due to the naturally sweet flavour it offers.
I hope you enjoy yet another exclusive dish from Weaning the Nation. The photos in this post make my mouth water and this is a great option for both parent/carer and baby to share a mealtime together…
A very exciting guest blog here from upcoming parenting food blogger, Kelly May Armstrong! Her mission for her blog, weaningthenation.com, is simple, to create recipes that are wholesome, nutritional and healthy for little ones to enjoy.
One of my NCT friends recommended Kelly’s website to the rest of our NCT group. After looking her up and enjoying a few of her recipes for Henry, I couldn’t help but contact her to see if she would be interested in featuring on Flamingo Monroe! We even use the same WordPress blog theme so we are clearly destined to work together haha! 🙂
I’m delighted she said yes, and even better she is going to provide us with a mini series of three exclusive recipes, the first one featured below.
This follows on well from my last post, about our weaning experience with Henry. I’ve received lots of advice and feedback which is always really appreciated – so thank you everyone for reading and for your comments and messages!
And thus I think inspiration from any fellow parent is useful when it comes to weaning and introducing our babies to food, so I hope you enjoy our mini series from Kelly, starting with this super yummy breakfast option. More than just a recipe blog post, Kelly talks us through the health benefits of her ingredients and why she started blogging…
It’s been an AGE since I posted a recipe. This year I haven’t had the chance, energy or desire to experiment much in the kitchen – pregnancy related aversions may be to blame perhaps?!
That might be news to some of you! I’m 26 weeks pregnant and my relationship with food has changed somewhat. I felt nauseas, but I didn’t suffer with (too much) physical sickness and I haven’t really had “cravings” other than a bowl of Shreddies for the occasional snack (I NEVER usually eat cereal).
Eating a healthy balanced diet in pregnancy can be a challenge when all you want is stodge (especially in the first trimester). I do like to play around with my breakfast recipes and as you’ll see from my historic food posts, breakfasts tend to be my go to for when I do experiment. I get bored of the same breakfast everyday and one isn’t always organised enough to have fresh fruit in the house!
My recent (and successful) experiment is my granola recipe! Shared for you here…
In case you haven’t noticed by now, I kinda have a little love affair with Italy. In my recent trip to Verona (click here if you didn’t see my Verona blog post), we decided a day trip to Lake Garda was a must, seeing as we were in the nearby vicinity.
When most of us hear ‘Verona’, I’m fairly convinced we all want to burst in to a speech of “Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona where we lay our scene…” reminiscing the story of Romeo & Juliet and William Shakespeare’s infamous script of the tragedy.
A few weeks ago me and my ‘Romeo’ visited Verona, as part of a mini break to Italy (including Lake Garda and Venice – future blog posts to follow) and I had to share my experience of this beautiful town in northern Italy…
