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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
