This is a firm favourite in our house. We usually make extra and once I re-add the mince, I put some bolognese into another pot for the grown-ups and add some white wine in place of the grape juice.
Makes about 4-6 kiddie portions.

A fruity little caterpillar
One of Lentil’s favourite bedtime stories is Eric Carle’s “The Hungry Caterpillar”. He has 4 different versions of the book! So today I took some inspiration from this cute story for his post-nap snack (yes he still naps and I’m soooo loving it especially on those rare occasions when Trouble sleeps at the same time!!)
I like having a bit of fun with food sometimes and it makes it a bit more interesting for Lentil too. I still haven’t got him eating oranges though – just too citrusy and obviously I didn’t allow him eat the legs! But the bananas, strawberries and raisins were devoured.
Little Légumes Lasagne
This yummy dish is a good way to sneak some veggies into your little tots’ diets. Makes about 6 portions. Continue reading
Lentil’s Second Birthday – The Train
Lentil’s choo choo
So I borrowed one of Lentil’s trains on which to model my cake. It was supposed to look similar.
And this is what it actually looked like……!
Lentil’s Second Birthday
Let them eat cake!
I can’t believe my little Lentil is turning two this week! And of course a birthday calls for some cake. I’m having a slight melt down about said cake this year. Having only baked a couple of cakes theretofore and never having decorated any, I decided (in my wisdom) last year that I should bake / make all Lentil’s birthday cakes. Or at least until he’s about 18! Boy, am I beginning to regret my earthly-motherness now….
Grandma’s shepherd’s pie
Grandma’s shepherd’s pie with a sweet twist
This yummy recipe makes approximately 4 large and 2-3 little portions, but you’ll have to be quick before it’s gobbled up! The pie can also be pureed to the desired consistency for younger tummies.
Speedy Gonzales Veggie Risotto
This is one of Lentil’s favourites and I find it quite yummy too (with a little salt added). Makes about 6 portions.
