How to Make Your Own Baby Food - Baby Food Prep





Hi everyone!
In this requested video I show you just how easy it is to make your own baby food! Elena is coming up for 7 months and I started weaning her onto solid food at around 5 and a half months before I returned to work. As a busy mum, it's important that I can be organised with her food prep so I like to bulk make her baby food and freeze it in ice cube trays or little sealed tubs to be defrosted at a later date.
Why bother making your own baby food?
1. It saves you a load of cash!
2. You know what is in the food
3. Homemade food will always be fresher
4. It's much easier and less time consuming than you think!
5. It gets your baby used to what the rest of the family eats hence less fussy eaters they will be as toddlers!

In this video I make apple and pear puree and cauliflower cheese puree. Cheese can be given to your baby at 7 months (although avoid blue cheese). As Elena gets older her meals will get more exciting so don't forget to subscribe for future baby food recipes and to join us on our journey!

It really is worth making your own baby food so check out my baby food prep video to see just how quick and easy it is!

Thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe!

Delicious Cranberry & White Chocolate Cookies



In this video I am sharing with you one of my favourite recipes for delicious cranberry and white chocolate cookies! Not only do they go down a treat with everyone at any time of the year but they are also super quick and easy to make!

What you will need:
150g plain all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
75g rolled oats
120g softened butter
75g dark brown sugar
100g caster sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract (or one vanilla pod)
75g dried cranberries
200g white chocolate chunks

You can also substitute dried apricots or dried cherries for the cranberries or make it a double (or triple) chocolate cookie by adding milk or dark chocolate. If you are a nut lover, those work too!

Once you make these delicious cookies once I promise you will make them again and again (probably because your friends and family will nag you for another tasty fix!)

Enjoy! And don't forget to subscribe - more cookie recipes to follow!
