To all my regular followers you must think I’ve forgotten all about Freddie’s Food. Well I haven’t!! I’ve just been in survival mode getting through the first 3 months with our gorgeous new baby Lottie so blogging has been on the back burner for a wee while.

Reduced Sugar Jam Drops
Freddie is into baking in a big way at the moment! Biscuits are so easy for little kids to help make but the only problem is that they are often full of sugar and saturated fat. I’ve been having great fun experimenting with different recipes to try and make healthier but still tasty versions (Freddie’s … Continue reading »
Sugar Free Ice Blocks
Freddie is currently rather fond of yoghurt with frozen berries. I discovered he preferred them frozen when he ate them on the way back from our freezer under the house and wouldn’t wait for the berries to defrost. He gobbles down frozen berries and yoghurt calling it ‘icey yoghurt’ and thinks it is a quite … Continue reading »
5pm Panic – simple easy dinners
Monday is my work day so whatever I give Freddie has to either be pre-made or really quick to prepare. It can be really easy just to resort to a can of baked beans or spaghetti on these nights but given he’s had sandwiches or similar for lunch with his nanny I really want to … Continue reading »

This is usually because of two main reasons: texture – it is harder to get a smooth consistency pureeing meat than fruits and vegetables. metallic taste – you can try and conceal this by pureeing fruits such as pear or apple … Continue reading »
Bagels
Freddie and I have had a bit of a thing for bagels over the last couple of weeks! Our lunch together had become a bit repetitive of late so I thought I would try out some different breads to try and spice things up a bit. So far Freddie’s top two choices have been cheese … Continue reading »
5pm Panic – Cheats Spaghetti Carbonara
As a kid Spaghetti Carbonara was my brother’s favorite teatime food and I think Freddie has inherited his taste buds! This version of Spaghetti Carbonara is very similar to the one my mum used to dish up over twenty five years ago! It really doesn’t take long to whip up and if you serve it … Continue reading »
5pm Panic – Chicken, rice and peas
Life in our house has been pretty frantic since I started back to work and launched Tiny Adventures a couple of months ago. Getting to 5pm and thinking ‘Oh crikey what’s for dinner?’ seems to be happening more frequently. So I thought that in my next few posts I’d share a few tasty meals I … Continue reading »
