Seaweed Cucumber Stars – Fussy Eater Snack Inspiration
December 13, 2011 by
Mid-Morning and Mid-Afternoon, I like to experiment with trying new foods and flavours for my fussy eater’s snacks. Cucumber is a food that Mr 3 DOES eat, so I thought I’d incorporate, well, hide, a new food which is full of nutritional goodness – Seaweed! To put together the Seaweed Cucumber Stars, firstly you’ll need […]
Buffet Style Experiment
December 8, 2011 by
Pin It Do you every find that by the time dinner rolls around your little Darling is exhausted and doesn’t want to sit at the dinner table? I often find it a real challenge to get Noah,3 to actually sit and eat what’s on his plate. So, over the past couple of weeks I have […]
The Lentil Experiment
December 7, 2011 by
Mr 3 is the fuss-pot of the family and aside from chicken nuggets and mini-mince & potato balls, his diet is largely that of a vegetarian. I felt it would be important to try and incorporate some additional rich sources of protein into his diet. Hence, my experimentation with lentils began. I researched into the […]
10 Top Tips for Feeding a Fussy Eater
December 6, 2011 by
Every day I mentally calculate that each of my boys has had a sufficient intake of each food group. Aaron, my 1 year old, is a dream eater – he’ll eat any food and isn’t fussy at all. Noah – my 3 year old, is the complete opposite. There are days where he seems to […]

Cheesy Potato and Parsnip Mash
May 18, 2011 by
I have a confession to make. I am slightly obsessed with Nigella Lawson. I have 6 of her books and cook countless recipes regularly from them. I also have to admit that rather than reading ‘normal’ books about trains and dinosaurs to Mr almost 3, I’m regularly paging through one of Nigella’s books with him, […]
Rice is Nice! Easy Toddler Lunch Idea!
May 16, 2011 by
Rice is Nice! Well it is for my 10 month old. I’d say that he has a rice dish of some description for lunch most days of the week. I don’t think I’ve cooked quite as much rice as I have in the past few months for him! Yesterday, after cooking plain white rice for […]
Mothers Day Zucchini, Leek & Broccoli Soup
May 8, 2011 by
Welcome to Yummy Inspirations! I thought I’d start my blog with one of my all time favourite soups. I cook this regularly through winter – it’s full of veggie-goodness and has sweetness to it thanks to the juicy red apple. The combination of vegetables, together with the apple may sound a little odd and a little too healthy, but […]
