COATS TIME !!!!!!!!

I have already showed you a small winter coat collection few weeks ago. Now that Autumn is definitely here and shops are now full of the coats I decided to pick what I think is the best out there. I would advise you to buy your baby writer coat now that you have the biggest and best choice; as they do sell very quickly, especially the really nice one.

The choice is very big in styles and colours. When it comes to the baby coat/jacket you can go for whatever you like as they will look super cute in everything!

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL … VEGETABLES AND LENTIL CURRY WITH CHICKEN

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …

VEGETABLES AND LENTIL CURRY WITH CHICKEN  I have made up this one, but surprisingly it has turn up to be very tasty😊

Ingredients :

– 1/2 red pepper

– 30g of red lentils

– 50g of peas

– 50g of aubergine

– 1 can of chopped tomatoes

– 1 small chicken breast

– 1 onion

– 1 garlic cove

– 2 tsp of mild curry spices

– 100ml of coconut cream

If your baby started eating more solid foods like Chloe then chop everything in to a very small cubes; If your baby still eats purees then cut everything in to chunks as it will be blended anyway.

Cooking method :

Fry onion and garlic until golden, then add curry spaces and lentils, and a minute later chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

In a meanwhile I roast my aubergine and chicken on the frying pan. You don’t have to do it but I find that this is the only way to cut chicken in to small cubes (I can’t do it with a raw one) and that aubergine keeps its consistency better when cut in to small cubes.

Add all of the other ingredients except peas and simmer for another 10 minutes. Add peas 2 minutes before the finish time. Hope that your baby will enjoy it

DESSERT : Yogurt with Blackberries

If your blackberries and sweet you natural yogurt, if the are quite sharp then add your baby’s usual flavoured yogurt.

SWEET POTATO FRIES

Great as part of a meal or just as a finger food. It’s healthy and so testy !

Ingredients:

– sweet potato (quantity depends on the amount that you want to make)

– thyme

– maple syrup (optional)

Cooking method:

Just cut your sweet potatoes in to a chips size. You don’t need to peal the skin I did it only because in my head my 10 months old could struggle with eating it.


Put a tiny bit of olive oil in to you baking tray, put your potatoes and cover with a little bit of thyme (you don’t have to use it)


Bake for around 15 min on 180C. You can add 1 tsp of maple syrup and sprinkle it on the top, put back in to the oven for 3 min.
