Preparing for a #FreeFrom Christmas

by mentalparentals, in category Food, Free From
Asda FreeFrom

Almost 12 months ago, Q was diagnosed with a cows milk allergy and ever since I’ve spent hours reading the ingredients lists on the back of food packets.  We’ve generally found it difficult to find tasty dairy-free products readily available in supermarkets – that is until recently.   A few days ago, I made a trip… Read More

Baby Led Weaning Breakfast Ideas

We’re second-time parents now and do pretty much anything for an easy ride.  I still haven’t gotten around to decorating Q’s nursery, or packing away his moses basket.  I’m a working mum; having returned to work in January part-time and will be making the jump to full-time shortly.  I breastfed Q so that I didn’t… Read More

Meal Planning Monday 48/2016

by mentalparentals, in category Meal Planning
8 Months Update

Well, I wasn’t going to write a post today but I’ve been awake since 2am so thought I might as well!  The last 10 days or so have been pretty horrendous.  Q started off with a cough, which turned into a cold, which turned into Bronchiolitis and an admission to the children’s ward at our local… Read More

Chocolate Orange Dipping Sauce

The lovely folk over at Thomas J Fudges have challenged me to create my ultimate chocolate dipping sauce recipe and, as a chocolate lover, I couldn’t turn them down!  I’ve always loved chocolate and sweet things and I’ve passed my sweet tooth on to O too.  After an afternoon in the kitchen whipping up this… Read More

meal plan 46

Here we are!  Another week over, another week ahead and another meal plan to write!  I’ve been feeling really stuck in a rut lately with the meals we’ve been eating.  I dislike cooking separate meals for O and us and O has a long list of things he doesn’t like/refuses to try.  This week, I’m… Read More

Booths Christmas

I had taken a little break from our meal planning posts as we’ve been away on holiday and I just didn’t get chance to write one up for last week.  Now we’re back to it!  I’m on a mission to use up the things we have in our cupboards from now on.  It’s my last… Read More

Ingredients 120g unsalted butter,… Read More

Disneyland Paris

This week has flown by!  We stuck to our menu pretty well apart from the weekend where it all went a bit ‘Pete Tong’.  I went off on a spa day on Sunday with a few of my close family and it was lush.  I felt so relaxed when I got home that I had… Read More
