ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …

SCHABOWE (pork in breadcrumbs)WITH SWEET POTATO CHIPS & PEAS 

  
Ingredients: 

– 1 pork filet (chicken and turkey breast are brilliant as well)

– 1 sweet potato

– 50g peas 

– thyme

– 1 egg

– 50g breadcrumbs 

– olive oil 

Cooking method:

 Preheat your oven to 200C. Wash, peal and slice sweet potatoes. Put them on a baking tray and sprinkle with thyme and a little bit of olive oil. Bake for 15minutes.  

 Make sure that your filet is around 1 cm thick. If you are using chicken breast flatter it with a meat hammer or rolling pin.

 Prepare 2 plates: on one whip an egg so it’s one consistency; on the second one put breadcrumbs. 

 Cover meat in egg then breadcrumbs and fry on a frying pan on a low heat for 5 minutes on each side. 

 Boil water and pour over frozen peas; leave for few minutes. Cooking peas in unnecessary. Peas its such a small vegetable that leaving it in a boiled water for 2 minutes defrosts it and that way it will keep all of the goodness.  

 For a grownup version just season the egg with slot and pepper before dipping meat in it. 

Enjoy it !!!

ANOTHER DAY,ANOTHER MEAL … CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY


ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …

CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY:

We love curry in my house and luckily for us so does Chloe. Now that she is one year old I can make a kids version of the curry that we eat, which makes the cooking so much easier.

Hope that your baby will like it as well.


Ingredients:

– 100g chicken

– 150g cauliflower

– 1/2 onion

– 200ml tomatoes

– 200ml of coconut milk

– 2tsp of mild curry powder

– 2 sweet potatoes

– 1 tbsp of basil

– 1 tsp ginger (cut in to very small cubes)

Cooking method :

Peal and slice sweet potato; steam until soft*

Fry your onion on a little bit of olive oil for 3 minutes. Add chicken and curry powder, fry for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile wash your cauliflower and blend it in the food processor (if your baby/child is older you can divide it in to small florets instead).

Add cauliflower in to the curry and simmer for another 10minutes. At the end add basil.

Cut sweet potatoes in small cubes and combine with the curry.

Your dinner is ready to serve!

* I like to cook potatoes separately by steaming to preserve more nutritions and because it’s so much easier to cut them in small cubes once they are cooked.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …RICE AND APPLE BAKE

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL…

RICE AND APPLE BAKE

My mum used to make it for us all the time. This can be serve as a snack, supper or a desert.

You can make a very healthy version of it or just healthy one. What is important is make lots of it as the whole family will want to eat it.

Ingredients :

– 1kg of sweet apples

– 250g of brown and wild rice mix (this can be replaced by white rice)

– 1 vanilla flavour actimel

– 400ml of milk (this can be replaced by water)

– 1tsp cinnamon

Cooking method :

Heat up your oven to 200C.

Cook rice in milk following cooking instruction on the packet.


Peal and grate all apples.

Prepare round, 30cm cake tin by coating it in a very thin layer of butter. Put half of your rice in to the cake tin, then add your apples and cover it with the remaining rice. Pour over actimel.


Bake for 20 minutes.

Dish is ready to serve straight away, hope that your kids will enjoy it as much as me and Chloe did.


Remember to be careful with the way you store cooked rice. This dish can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container or frozen within an hour, for up to 3 months.

HEALTHY BUT SO YUMMY KIDS PARTY FOOD ! Yes it is possible !!! 

Kids Birthday Parties can be fun, yummy and … Heathy ! Yes they can ! There is no need to buy only junk food or to have everything with added sugar.

A few weeks ago I organised Chloe’s 1st birthday party. I wanted a sugar free party, why? Because most of Chloe’s guests were 1 year old or under and because I haven’t given Chloe sugar before. I have gathered lots of different ideas about kids party food from Pinterest and I have  adapted some sugary recipes so that they are sugar free.

This is what I have prepared for the party


ICE CREAM CONES 

Ice Cream Cones dipped in blended blueberry and coconut.  You can make so many different versions of it, depending on the age of the kids.

– chocolate and nuts

– chocolate and coconut

– blueberry and cornflakes

– melted marshmallows

ICE CREAM CONES WITH FRUITS

Stuff ice cream cones with any fruits you like. It’s sweet, healthy and it looks great.

SWEETCORN AND PEAS 

All kids love those ! Put them in to cute little cupcake cases to serve.

KIWI FLOWERS

 Another fun way to serve fruits. Use a small cookie, flower cutter to use around the kiwi. Top the kiwi with a raspberry and add a leaf of mint to finish it of.

STRAWBERRIES 
Strawberry is another great replacement to sweets/cookies. Because of its sweetness and vibrant colour kids (most of the kids) love them.

Dip strawberries in a soft cream and … coconut for a super healthy snack or in dark chocolate and then coconut if your kids are already eating chocolate.

You can also cut strawberry in half and put little dots of soft cream/ chocolate on top to make little ladybirds.

 

HEART AND STAR SHAPED SANDWICHES 

I know that this is a lot of work but I can do once a year for a special occasion. Just make your sandwiches and flatten them,  use biscuit cutter of a desired shape to cut them. Just remember that the sandwich needs to be very simple : soft cheese, cheese or ham are ideal.Screen Shot 2015-11-24 at 20.46.23

MAGIC WAND

Kids love blueberries so get some of them on a toothpick, topped with a star cut out of watermelon and you have a magic wand ready. I have used bought toothpicks with gold stars on top of it.
