Mini Spinach Beef Burgers

August 22, 2010

For those following Baby Led Weaning, deciding how to offer meat to our babies can be a difficult one. I’ve been playing with the idea of ground meat (savoury mince on a preloaded spoon perhaps?), a tender beef stew or a slow cooked leg of lamb. I ended up deciding to use ground beef to [...]

August 14, 2010

I’m becoming a bit more adventurous in the kitchen now that Teddy is getting a bit older and is becoming even more efficient at finger feeding. He’s been happy to munch on lightly steamed slices of apple for a while now so I thought it might be time to try something different and bake the [...]
