Food Content // Delicious Beef Stew Recipe Suitable for All of the Family*
I quite enjoy cooking and coming up with recipes that my daughter and I can enjoy. She is a good eater on the whole so I do feel lucky in that respect. She is open to trying most things so I don’t have to come up with anything too complicated. One thing that she loves to have is beef stew. It is easy to make and doesn’t take too long to make either. The great thing with beef is that if you slow cook it, it just gets better and better. Tender meat that just falls off the bone? Yes, please! Ingredients 4 rump or t-bone steak 800g tinned chopped…

5 Must Haves for the Kitchen*
I have a little sign that hangs in my kitchen that says “Amy’s Kitchen is the heart of the home” my mum brought it back from Greece and although it’s a little gimmicky there is a fair amount of truth in it. I do spend a lot of time in my kitchen, and now that I’m trying hard to get Little Miss to eat, I’m spending even more time in it. I love to cook, to bake and just generally potter. My kitchen isn’t somewhere I encourage Little Miss to be in unless it’s to help me prepare food or to eat as our table is also in the kitchen,…

What Happens If Your Child Doesn’t Get Their Preferred School?*
In September Little Miss will be starting school full time. For any parent this is a stressful time, the thought of their baby heading off to school, all dressed in a uniform for over 6 hours a day, I know I’m dreading it already. Last Friday, parents of children about to start school found out whether or not they’d been accepted into their first choice school. I received my email around 6am so it was there waiting for me when I awoke, and thankfully my little girl got into ours. But this wasn’t the case for everyone and I can’t imagine how much heart ache that brought to some families…

Meal Ideas for Under 5s – Lettuce Wraps
Remember that time my 4 year old ate everything I put in front of her? No.. me either. That hasn’t happened since she learnt how to say no! Don’t get me wrong, her diet isn’t all junk food, in fact she eats more fruit a day than I do, she just has what I’d call a limited diet. I call it a limited diet because she likes the same few meals on rotation and is wary about trying anything new. It’s so frustrating for someone like me who wants to experiment in the kitchen. However, while in Florida one of my mum friends Emily had a bit of a breakthrough.…

4 Ways to Relive Your Holiday*
On Monday I’ll have been back from Florida for two weeks and already it feels like a lifetime ago. It’s funny how easily that happens with a holiday. Being away for 4 weeks really shows that it doesn’t matter how long you go for, you still have to come back to reality, usually with a pretty big bump. So today I’m blogging about 5 ways you can relieve your holiday. Of course I don’t recommend doing all of these as soon as you get back as you may end up curled up on your bed sobbing that you aren’t back in the sunshine and everything sucks at home (I did…
