I realise it's been October for a few days, but I got a bit behind with my BLW September blogging - here we go with the last 5 days of the month!
Day 26
Breakfast: Toast with Lurpak unsalted spreadable butter and homemade marmalade.
Snack: Homemade fruit scone with Lurpak unsalted spreadable butter.
Lunch: Apple and rice cakes.
Snack: Grapes.
Dinner: Eggs florentine with bacon and salad.
A very easy and quick dinner, involving steaming some spinach, toasting muffins, poaching a couple of eggs and making a 'hollandaise' sauce by adding lemon juice and hot water to mayonnaise! Topped off with some Waitrose Duchy Originals unsmoked bacon done under the grill and a bagged salad of seasonal leaves (Waitrose again). The baby enjoyed most of it and even had a bit of bacon.
Day 27
Breakfast: Porridge with homemade apple butter.
Snack: Wrigglies.
[See Day 25]
Lunch: Left-over North African squash and chickpea stew.
Enjoyed just as much the second time around!
Snack: bread sticks.
Dinner: Fusilli pasta in a homemade tomato sauce, with tuna fish and runner beans.
The beans came from the garden and were getting a bit tough, so only the inner beans were really eaten.
Day 28
Breakfast: Toast with Lurpak unsalted spreadable butter.
Snack: Organix biscuits.
We ate these at our baby signing class and made a huge mess because they'd gone a bit soggy in the tin... oops!
Lunch: The last of the North African squash and chickpea stew.
Snack: Grapes.
I've given in now and just prepare a lot of grapes and let her eat until she stops making her 'more' noise...
Dinner: Chilli with rice and creme fraiche.
This was from the BLW cookbook and has been a hit before. I usually make it with chunks of meat, but tonight we had it with mince and this seemed to slip past her 'meat radar' more effectively!
Day 29
Breakfast: Fruit scones with Lurpak unsalted spreadable butter.
I made the scones the night before with sultanas and raisins.
Snack: Ella's Kitchen pear puree.
The snack today was scheduled to be some homemade fruit muffins, but I didn't have any eggs in the house the night before and we had our swimming lesson this morning, so just had to grab something out of the cupboard. We got this Ella's Kitchen pouch free with an Ocado delivery and actually, she quite enjoyed it, so I might look at some more of their things to have in the house as 'stand-by' food.
Lunch: Left-over chilli.
Just eaten as it was, without rice but a nice warm, filling lunch after swimming.
Snack: Grapes.
We keep getting these in our organic box, which is great as she loves them, but they're British-grown so are quite small and seeded so are a pain to prepare (cut in half, scoop out 1 small seed, repeat ad infinitum).
Dinner: Pancakes with herbs and cheese.
Day 30
Breakfast: Toast with Lurpak unsalted spreadable butter and homemade marmalade.
Snack: Organix gingerbread man.
The first time we've had these and although they're small it was apparently quite a good snack as it took her ages to eat (head, arm, leg 1, leg 2...)
Lunch: Savoury flapjacks with cheese and red pepper.
From the BLW cookbook - I made some cheese and courgette ones earlier in the month for snacks, but actually, they're quite filling and even making half the recipe makes a lot of flapjack so I thought we could have them for lunches this week.
Snack: More grapes.
Dinner: Roast pork, roast potatoes, carrots and runner beans.
This is the first time she'd had pork and she did have quite a good suck at the meat, but still preferred her vegetables.
And that's it for BLW September - hope you've enjoyed it and I'm sure there'll be future posts covering our Baby-led weaning journey.
