Chicken with butternut and spinach

I have to say, this ranks as one of my favourites of the baby food recipes. Definitely in the top 5. I also share a little bit about my weaning journey in this post (^_^) Enjoy!

Butternut and cauliflower mash

Several of my friends have had babies lately and more are still on the way to having babies. One request I’m hearing more and more is for weaning recipes. Well, here is one…

Experimenting with butternut and goat cheese

There are times when a combination of flavours just come to you. You have no idea what you’ll do with them, they just sound good in your head, so good you can taste them. Most of the time I just dwell on them for a couple of days then they get lost, they disappear, they become like a childhood memory, lingering in the background attached to a good feeling but everything is hazy, no details. Well, this time when the flavours hit me, I went with it.

Refresh leftover rice with veggies!

I like rice. It has a nice flavour of it’s own — mild and delicate. The sticky kind is my favourite. I’ve been asked how to make rice “perfectly” in the past, and when they say perfectly they mean the way it’s made in hotels and restaurants so that it comes out “one-one” they always say. In other words, so that the grains are still separate but perfectly cooked. And the answer is, I have no clue. I’ve never bothered to know. I like mine sticky! But maybe I’ll make that an upcoming adventure. In the mean time, try this recipe, it will work just as well with “non-sticky” rice!

Potatoes and butternut

There are some things I have made in the past that I just haven’t been able to recreate, something we all experience. But I’m so glad I started this blog because now I record everything. But the things I did before the blog will clearly take some time to recreate…

Pumpkin leaves and butternut

If i haven’t said it already, pumpkin leaves are my favourite leafy green veggie, they are awesome when cooked with ground veggies, thats my preferred way to have them, but this is nice as well.

I was feeling a little creative, I have no idea where I pulled this from but it has to be made again. Very tasty!

matoke, potatoes, sweet potatoes & butternut in one pot

Matoke does not have to be boring and it it doesn’t have to be cooked alone, it plays very nice with a few roots mixed in. Try this mix and add some flavour to your matoke night days.
