If, like me, you have a veggie patch overflowing with Kale at this time of year, it's time to start thinking of some family friendly meals to use up all that goodness!  Try serving this with veggie pastas such as chickpea pasta or lentil pasta if your little one is a pasta-addict and you're looking to get more veggies into their diet.

While jelly is a favourite of many families, it is full of sugar, preservatives and additives. Making your own is not only cheaper, it will ensure you know exactly what’s in every mouthful your little one eats.

While the festive season is a great time for your baby to try new foods, dessert can be a little tricky. Between the brandy cream, custard, butter and plum pudding, which are all full of Brandy, you may wish to create an alcohol-free plum pudding suitable for toddlers and young children.

Simple purées with only one vegetable are a great place to start when introducing food to your baby for the first time. Once you have introduced vegetables such as potato and carrot, you may then wish to create purees like this recipe that mixes both foods together to create a new flavour again.

While it may not be slow-cooked in a traditional tagine, the flavours are delicious and it can be made in a fraction of the time! Leave chunky for Baby Led Weaning or if you are introducing finger foods to your little one.

These Apple and Cinnamon Pikelets are the perfect finger food for babies and infants who are learning to self feed. Full of fibre from fresh apples and protein from the egg, they will leave your little one feeling fuller for longer.

We serve this frozen yoghurt bark with berries as a healthy alternative to ice-cream and is perfect, refreshing snack on a hot afternoon for the whole family.

Eating a rainbow each day is about eating a wide variety of foods so your baby's body gets all the essential nutrients it needs. When cooking this recipe, we used purple sweet potato for added variation but regular sweet potato works great too.
