Who said that jogging bottoms need to be boring ?!
I must admit I am not a fan of dressing Chloe in jogging bottoms but there are times when putting nice clothes on is just silly (nursery, soft play, day at home)
There are some cute joggers out there. Those combined with some cool t-shirt would make a great outfit!

APLLE PASTRIES
This is one of the easies to make snacks/desert which kids will love. And what is important they are sugar free ! Whole family would love them.
Ingredients:
– ready to roll puff pastry
– 1 Apple
– 1 Pear
Cooking method:
Preheat oven to 200C (or whatever temperature is required on the packet of the puff pastry).
Wash and peal apple and pear and cut in to small stripes.
Cut pastry in to squares (around 3cm x 3cm). Place apple or pear in the middle of each square .
If you love a little bit of sugar you can sprinkle some icing sugar on top of the pastries once they have cooled down.
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.

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.
