Q: Cheesy Garlic Mushrooms

If you're in need of a quick quick and easy meal then look no further than this! There's something about mushrooms, garlic, cheese and creamy sauce that just go together.... perfect comfort food.

Q: Indian 'No-Meat-Balls'

These Indian-spiced "No-Meat-Balls" are made using chickpeas as a meat substitute. Chickpeas are fantastic for several reasons, including having great flavour, but the one thing that makes them perfect for this recipe is that they're substantial. When it comes to vegetarian/vegan dishes chickpeas are one of those foods that provides a denser component, making them almost "meat-like". The spice in these comes from garam masala and turmeric, but feel free to play around with whatever spices you enjoy. Personally, I find that garam masala provides a nice balance of spices, which work amazingly in this. If possible though, I would always try and keep the turmeric in these. Turmeric is one of life's amazing foods, with it being a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant because of the active ingredient Curcumin, so I tend to throw it in as much of my cooking as possible!

Q: Broccoli & Cauliflower Tots

These tots are on of my favourite things to make for Reuben, as they are super quick and easy to prepare, whilst tasting absolutely delicious! Use them as a main meal for a little one, or try as a side dish for an older child.

Q: Cheesy Cauliflower & Broccoli Sticks

When you first start weaning it can be difficult to think of foods that are acceptable to give a young baby. You're looking for something that has a soft texture, but is big enough for little hands to pick up independently, without the need for a pincer grip that they haven't yet developed. It's harder than a lot of people give it credit for! This recipe is one that I've used numerous times, including when we first started weaning Reuben. They are perfect for younger babies due to their shape and consistency, but can also be given to older children who will quite happily tuck in!

Q: Raspberry Weetabix Doughnuts

These doughnut moulds are fantastic, in that you don't even have to grease them before use - everything just pops out! If you don't want to purchase a doughnut mould, then maybe consider using this recipe to create muffins using a muffin mould or cases. The recipe itself produces really delicious little morsels for your little ones. The texture is soft, but they hold together well. They're not overly sweet, due to the absence of added sugar, but the raspberries do provide a little hint, as well as some subtle tartness that balances it well.
